Is it ethical to use biometric identification data for purposes of daily living like paying in a supermarket or for identification at airports?
Is it ethical to use biometric identification data for purposes of daily living like paying in a supermarket or for identification at airports? What guidelines would have to be in place to ensure that such everyday applications of biometrics are ethical?
Biometrics has the potential to make many everyday activities simpler, more convenient, and more “modern.” Debit cards and PINs may be easily forgotten, while fingerprints are always on hand. Furthermore, biometrics can provide more accurate identification at airports, in online transactions, and in forensic investigations. Disney World has used fingerprint information to verify identities associated with tickets to the theme park (Harmel, 2006 http://ethical-fp7.eu/ETHICAL%20surv...References.pdf ; Clodfelter, 2010). If such biometric applications should be allowed to proceed – and it is not clear that they should – then what ethical standards should they be held to? For how long should such biometric information be retained by the data controllers?
