My colleague, @KaitlynHarger, just published a shocking impact study on BIPA.

BIPA suits have generated more than $900M in class action settlements...In those 8 consumer settlements, law firms received an average of $11.5M per case & individual plaintiffs an average of $506.

As usual, nobody wins, except for the lawyers.

A workplace privacy case under Illinois's Biometric Information Privacy Act (“BIPA”) should strike fear in the hearts of employers if the Illinois legislature doesn't clarify the intent of the law in terms of damages. Right now, White Castle is potentially facing a $17 BILLION statutory fine.

The case is Cothron v. White Castle and is a federal class action.

The plaintiff sued White Castle, accusing them of violating BIPA by requiring employees to scan their fingerprint in order to access pay stubs, and then disclosing the fingerprint images to an external vendor responsible for managing the fingerprint scanning system. 

The plaintiff argued that each time her fingerprint was scanned or transmitted without her consent, a separate BIPA violation occurred – subject to separate statutory penalties between $1,000 and $5,000 each. 

White Castle argued that there should only be one statutory penalty per employee, not one per fingerprint scan.

The Illinois Supreme Court agreed with the plaintiff's interpretation of the wording of BIPA and suggested the legislature might want to do something to clarify.

At least there is one good privacy law in the USA.

“The Illinois Supreme Court ruled Friday that Biometric Information Privacy Act claims accrue each time data is unlawfully collected and disclosed rather than simply the first time, a ruling that will almost certainly add to Illinois' already heavy privacy docket and that the defense bar has warned could lead to astronomical damages.”

More please. 😊

Some workers are challenged each month to beat 'biometric productivity based employee scores'.

But where does this end, when they plateau?
