In July, a former employee of a retailer filed suit against the company alleging that
the company's use of biometric fingerprint scanners for
timekeeping violated Illinois's Biometric Information Privacy

tell employees why it collected their biometric data or what the
data would be used for, and shared employees' biometric data
with third parties without employees' permission.
