IRIS RECOGNITION AND YOUR PRIVACY

Other concerns, such as the misuse of the accumulated databases are unfounded. More personal data, for instance, is usually volunteered to the Electoral Commission, the drivers license authority or credit agency than is gained through any collection of data by biometric means. Depending on the application, users can actually be enrolled as an anonymous Customer Identification Number if desired. Recent advances in data protection, but more importantly the accuracy of new biometric technologies, together with an improved awareness of the need to properly manage the security of data collected has allayed these concerns.

As Argus Solutions Iris Recognition Technology offers accuracy of identity to such a high degree, many third party commentators see Iris Recognition as a Privacy Enhancing Technology (PET). When personal information, access privileges or account details are secured by Iris Recognition, it becomes virtually impossible for another person to access that information. This is in contrast to so-called anonymous pin codes, cards and passwords which can be lost, stolen, duplicated or guessed.

At any time, you can rest assured that only you, or persons you have authorised are accessing your personal data.
