Mutual Learning Encounter - Data protection and privacy in Biometrics research and innovation

Description

This Mutual Learning Encounter tackled the main actions to be addressed concerning privacy and data protection when developing Biometric devices. ICT researchers and developers are required to consider existing norms on data protection when developing or deploying ICT systems. These compliance requirements are more complex in the case of biometric systems. The Mutual Learning Encounter presented the “Guidelines on ethical and legal issues regarding biometrics in ICT research and innovation”, which considers the current data protection legal framework to provide suggestions on how to identify the legal requirements around biometric system development and deployment, and how to address them in the day-to-day operations of ICT researchers and developers, from the initial prototyping phase up to the testing and deployment phases
