Section 15(a) of BIPA requires a company to publicly post a general notice about the company’s biometric data retention periods. 740 Ill. Comp. Stat. 14/15(a). Section 15(b) of BIPA requires a company to provide specific notice and obtain consent from the particular person whose biometric information is collected.
Id. at 14/15(b). BIPA also bans the sale or trade of personal biometric information for profit.
