Have you VOLUNTARY given away any biometric data (DNA, fingerprint, retina, face recognition)? To whom? iPhone, employer, 23&Me / Ancestry?

[DrPepper12]

For the non-voluntary was it for medical, prison, court ordered or employer reasons?

Do you know the laws (USA states differ) regarding your sample / data collection - how long it can be held? Who can access it? When will sample / data be destroyed?

Yes and I'm fine with it

Yes but I had reservations

Yes but it was a private corp so I trust its secure

It wasn't voluntary. here's my story:

Im REALLY surprised people are ok with giving biometric data away! Maybe im just so anti cuz in Manhattan you're on cameta about 800 times a day and some of those ARE facial recognition. Too creepy for me. Bad enuf i had to be fingerprinted 4 separate times!!

I ended up in the ER and needed emergency surgery. The hospital wouldn't perform the life saving surgery without swabbing my nasal cavity. God only knows what would have happened if I had the common cold. 😱

How do you know they ran DNA tests?

[TrueConfection]

How do I know they didn't? Which is more likely?

If it was during covid it was a COVID test! No big conspiracy!!

I have. For USA, UK, Australia, Czech Republic, the Netherlands. Mostly for Visas to live and work. There are other countries but I won’t go through them.

[DrPepper12]

Finger prints i presume? Do you have any reservations or concerns?

[electromagnetic]

Prints and eyes.
Nope, not unless I commit a crime.

I did on my iPhone (s) fingerprint / face scan however I was told that it is all local on the device… I don’t use it to open up things outside my lock screen. I don't know.

They are going to get it one way or another. Nowadays you have to make a conscientious effort for them to not get it.

True and its HARD. NY requires ez pass for tolls now so big brother can monitor your travel in our "free" country. 🤬 Its just bullshit

[blueonblack22]

I know TikTok was hacking your iPhone to monitor facial expressions and even key strokes and sending that data off to the CPC. It’s horrifying. It’s bad enough our government is doing that but foreign governments as well.

I deleted that bs fast. But I know I’m delaying that the tip of the iceberg.

Where I used to work I used to manage an application that enabled our campus police to

Access the FBI database and make queries. I had to set up the network so the application server was sequestered from the rest of the network. I had to be fingerprinted to do this.

none of these, no...

This is stopping me doing a DNA check.
