  10. Just got an email from my gym saying they’re changing the access system in just five days to require a fingerprint. 🤯

    The email was super casual about it. No real info on why it’s needed, where the biometric data is stored, how long it’s kept, or whether there’s an alternative.

    Is this normal?!

    I sent them a friendly email asking for more details.

    "If a #facial #recognition database is breached, the “locks” that a template opens – accessing a bank app, getting through security at an airport, entering an office building – can’t be reset. A person’s face is permanent, and so is the threat."
