Biometric data

FRT & privacy

A sensitive-category personal-information class under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) covering facial geometry, fingerprints, voiceprints, and similar physiological identifiers. Collection requires consent (with limited exemptions) and triggers heightened APP obligations. NSW's voluntary FRT Code of Practice adds Australia-only storage, deletion-on-expiry, and signage expectations for gaming-venue FRT deployments.

This term sits in the FRT & privacy section of the working glossary — vocabulary covering facial-recognition controls and the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth), including the Australian Privacy Principles and the Notifiable Data Breaches scheme.
