Several U.S. state privacy bills are introducing a new exception that excludes biometric data once it is transformed into an irreversible mathematical representation that cannot be used to recreate the original measurement. The proposed language appears in bills such as Mississippi HB 1051 and similar measures in Pennsylvania and Georgia. The exemption could limit the scope of biometric privacy protections for technologies using one‑way mathematical transformations.
Why it matters: The trend could reshape biometric privacy safeguards by carving out a carve‑out for transformed biometric data.
