A Statute of Limitations for BIPA Claims? We May be One Step Closer
Illinois’ Biometric Information Privacy Act (“BIPA”) regulates companies that obtain, use, store, sell, and disclose the biometric data of Illinois residents. Companies that fall under BIPA must provide notice to and receive consent from Illinois residents before obtaining their biometric data, and must take reasonable care that the biometric data remains secure. In addition, BIPA includes a private right of action, and if a regulated company fails to comply with its provisions, statutory damages can be as high as $5,000 for each violation. BIPA litigation is active in Illinois State Court and in Federal Courts across the United States.
