A:
Under California law, you have rights and protections against unauthorized collection and use of your biometric data. The California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA) provide strong privacy protections, including the right to know what personal information is being collected about you and to whom it is being disclosed.
If your biometric data has been collected without your consent and you have been harmed as a result, you may be able to take legal action. You can file a complaint with the California Attorney General's office, which oversees and enforces state privacy laws. Additionally, you may seek damages through a private lawsuit if you can demonstrate that your data was misused and that you suffered injury because of it.
It is important to gather all relevant evidence, including any communication or documentation related to the data collection and its impact on you. Consulting with an attorney experienced in privacy law can help you understand your options and the best course of action to protect your rights and seek redress for any harm you have experienced.
