Abstract

Biometric technology, when developed and used responsibly, offers considerable benefits in various fields such as security and healthcare. Nevertheless, its deployment can significantly threaten the fundamental right to privacy. This study reveals to identify Biometric data and its manifestations, examining the risks associated with the general deployment of this technology, particularly those related to data protection rights. It further reviews the methods and mechanisms provided by the European Union's "Artificial Intelligence Act" to mitigate these risks, and its adequacy in achieving effective protection of that data, ultimately striving for a legal framework that aims to balance the necessity of encouraging innovation with the protection of individual rights.
