Privacy Notice for Biometric Data Collection
BYU-–Hawaii values your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal data. This notice explains how we collect, use, and protect your biometric data.
What is Biometric Data?
Biometric data refers to unique physical characteristics, such as fingerprints, facial recognition, or iris scans, that can be used to identify an individual.
Purpose of Collection
BYU–Hawaii uses fingerprint biometrics to verify your identity when entering the Banyan Dining Hall. It helps us to authenticate your identity, detect and prevent fraudulent use of your meal plan. Fingerprints are specific to each individual and no one else will have the same fingerprints as you do.
Data Collection and Use
We only collect and use biometric information for your identification convenience to access your meal plan at the Banyan Dining Hall.
Data Sharing
We do not sell, lease, trade, or share biometric data with any third parties. The biometric data we collect is used strictly for dining service access and is not shared externally. However, we may disclose biometric data if required to do so by law, such as in response to a subpoena, court order, or other legal obligation.
Data Storage and Retention
- Storage: Your biometric data is securely stored and encrypted on BYU–Hawaii, on-premises servers.
- Retention: We retain your biometric data for one year and will be promptly deleted following each fall/winter/spring cycle.
Your Rights
You have the right to request the deletion of your biometric data at any time.
If you do not want to give your biometric data, then you will need to show your student ID card to the cashier and then swipe your card each time you enter the Banyan Dining Hall.
