Sean Wieber Discusses Growth of Privacy Class Actions Involving Biometrics and Genetics with Law.com
Winston & Strawn Global Privacy & Data Security Practice Co-Chair Sean Wieber was quoted in a Law.com article discussing the growth of privacy class action lawsuits against employers involving biometrics and genetics. In recent years, privacy disputes have emerged under Illinois’ Biometric Information Privacy Act (BIPA) as employees challenged how employers stored data, such as fingerprints used to clock in and out of work. Favorable rulings for plaintiffs in these cases exposed corporations to a potential risk for high costs for each violation, but legislative changes put a limit on the payout potential. Now, lawsuits are emerging under the Illinois Genetic Information Privacy Act (GIPA), which has statutory damages three times higher than BIPA, against employers who allegedly required employees or job seekers to provide “genetic information,” or family medical background, as a condition of employment.
