United States
Jenner & Block successfully defended its client Nuance
Communications, Inc. before the US Court of Appeals for the Seventh
Circuit, which agreed that Nuance's voice authentication
services for financial institution customers are exempt from the
Illinois Biometric Information Privacy Act (BIPA).
The ruling affirms that vendors performing authentication work
closely tied to a financial institution's operations can
qualify for BIPA's exemption for entities subject to the
federal Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA).
