Between Apple’s Face ID and Amazon’s palm print scanners, it seems more and more tech companies are gathering and storing your biometric data. Many Americans are beginning to wonder when this data collection is going to end.
Internet and privacy attorney Travis Crabtree says it will end "when consumers have had enough and decide the convenience that they’re being offered is not worth the level of detail and information they have to give up."
Crabtree says that, thankfully, you don't need to be too worried about your privacy right now because, "They’re just doing facial recognition, or they’re doing the palm prints, which doesn’t give detailed health information, which is where most people are concerned."
Crabtree also said that even if your biometric data is stolen in a hack, there isn’t much that a hacker would be able to do with it.
