    Check the criteria below. If they may fit, the next step is preparing a claim with the records that support it.

What this case is about

Under Illinois' Biometric Information Privacy Act (BIPA), companies that capture fingerprints, faceprints, or voiceprints without written consent and a disclosed retention schedule can owe statutory damages.

Cases describe allegations that the defendants deny. Facts are drawn from public court records, settlement administrators, and litigation trackers, and can change as the case moves.

What a review will look at

  • The employer or company that did the scanning
  • What was scanned and roughly when
  • Whether you were ever asked to sign a consent form

Missing records aren’t a dealbreaker — legal teams help people gather them all the time.
