ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

Biometric data is among the most sensitive categories of personal information because it is immutable — a person cannot change their fingerprints or facial geometry if the data is compromised.

Interpretive note: The excerpt is a definitional list and does not itself state the collection mechanism or the conditions under which each biometric type is collected. The 'including, but not limited to' language means additional biometric types beyond those listed may also be collected.
