Prediction

The growing wave of class actions in the United States related to biometric data privacy violations will continue to rise, with the state of Illinois at its forefront with its Biometric Information Privacy Act. There have already been a number of significant settlements with companies like Facebook, Google, TikTok and Meta in various states, with further actions expected. Enforcement efforts are expected to continue, particularly in California, with clarity on enforcement expected from its Supreme Court. Legal challenges over insurance coverage for biometric data privacy claims will also develop as jurisdictions interpret cover for novel actions.
