Illinois Biometric Information Privacy Act

Illinois BIPA is the most litigated cybersecurity privacy law in the US, requiring written consent before collecting biometric identifiers (fingerprints, facial geometry, iris scans). It provides a private right of action with statutory damages, which has resulted in hundreds of class action lawsuits and settlements exceeding $1 billion collectively. The Illinois Supreme Court ruled in Cothron v. White Castle (2023) that each scan constitutes a separate violation.
