What is Biometric Data?

Biometric data means personal information resulting from specific technical processing relating to the individual’s physical, psychological or behavioural characteristics which allow or confirm the unique  identification of that person, such as facial images, voice recognition or fingerprints.

What is an Automated Biometric Recognition System?

An automated biometric recognition system uses technology to measure an individual’s physical or behavioural characteristics by using equipment that operates ‘automatically’ (i.e. electronically). Biometric systems usually store measurements taken from a person’s physical/behavioural characteristics and not images of the characteristics themselves.
