Biometric Data Consent Audit Checklist

Unlike a password, you can't reset your face.

Biometric data — your face, fingerprint, or voiceprint — is fundamentally different from a password: it can't be reset if compromised, and collection often happens through consent buried in a device setup screen or an employer's time-clock rollout rather than a deliberate, informed decision. This checklist audits the full range of everyday biometric collection points — device unlock, workplace scanners, gym entry systems, voice assistants, and social media auto-tagging — and checks whether you actually know the retention period, third-party sharing, and revocation process for each.
