Biometrics – Collection, Transmission, Retention and Destruction
For the purposes of this Policy, “biometrics” may include an individual’s physiological characteristics that can be used, singly or in combination with each other or with other identifying data, to establish individual identity. Examples of biometrics include, but are not limited to, imagery of the iris, retina, fingerprint, face, hand, palm, vein patterns, and voice recordings, from which an identifier template, such as a faceprint, a minutiae template, or a voiceprint, can be extracted.
In addition, the employees of Paychex customers that use Paychex timekeeping devices may provide an iris, finger or facial scan as part of the timekeeping process, which the technology converts into a mathematical, encrypted algorithm, or template. These templates are sometimes called “biometrics.” For purposes of this Policy, Paychex broadly includes within the term “biometrics” the templates created in the timekeeping process, and even where not required to do so, Paychex complies with all laws related to the use of biometrics. Some details about biometrics:
