Virtual Try-On Biometric Data Processing — Kling AI

Share 𝕏 Share in Share 🔒 PDF

What it is

Kling AI's virtual try-on feature processes photographs of people's bodies and faces to simulate clothing — this involves handling biometric and photographic data without any visible consent or retention disclosure.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

If you use the virtual try-on feature by uploading a photo of yourself, Kling AI processes your biometric data — but no notice of how long this data is kept or whether it is shared with third parties is provided in this document.

What you can do

⚠️ These actions may provide transparency or partial mitigation but may not fully address the underlying issue. Effectiveness varies by jurisdiction and individual circumstances.

Delete Your Data
Within 30 days
Submit a written request to Kling AI identifying your account and requesting deletion of all photographs and biometric data submitted through virtual try-on or face reference features. Retain a copy of your request.

Why it matters (compliance & risk perspective)

Biometric data including facial geometry and body images is among the most sensitive personal data category, and processing it without explicit consent and a published retention schedule violates Illinois BIPA and similar statutes.

View original clause language

Ideal for virtual try-on scenes in e-commerce, marketing, and entertainment. Supports single-item try-ons (tops, bottoms, full-body outfits) and combination try-ons (top + bottom).

Institutional analysis (Compliance & legal intelligence)

1) REGULATORY FRAMEWORK: Illinois BIPA (740 ILCS 14/15) requires written release before collecting biometric identifiers, a publicly available retention/destruction schedule, and prohibits sale or profit from biometric data without consent. Texas CUBI (Tex. Bus. & Com. Code §503.001) and Washington My Health MY Data Act (SB 1155) have similar requirements. GDPR Art. 9 classifies biometric data used for unique identification as a special category requiring explicit consent (Art. 9(2)(a)) or another specific exemption. CCPA §1798.140(b) defines biometric information as sensitive personal information requiring opt-in consent for certain uses. 2)
