Who owns my DNA and my biometric data?

Hi,

Over the course of the next few months, I am going to be talking about who owns the biometric data you submit to an enterprise for identification and authentication. It is an area I am personnaly very concerned about since I feel that the technology and the usage of the biometrics is way ahead of the laws to protect the user.

Today, in many jurisdictions around the world, there are laws pertaining to DNA databases. The laws vary widely on how the data is used. During the next month, I'll publish a review of the existing laws and discuss the implications to the citizen.

If you have any special knowledge on the laws in this area or concerns, please email me to let me know. I will take this into consideration in drafting my initial report.

Regards,

Guy
