As authentication and identification services are increasing with the use of biometric information in various sectors, including the use of fingerprints and iris scanning when unlocking smartphones, facial recognition when controlling access, and voice-based AI when providing assistant services,
the PIPC aims at clarifying the concept and scope of biometric information prescribed in the current personal information protection ordinance and related notice. Also attempts to form a basis to safely apply biometric information by specifically suggesting basic principles for biometric information protection and protection measures for each phase.
