An Illinois woman has filed a class action lawsuit against Target, alleging that the company collected and stored her biometric data, including face and fingerprint scans, without her consent, in violation of the state's Biometric Information Privacy Act (BIPA). The lawsuit claims that Target's surveillance systems in Illinois stores surreptitiously collect biometric data on customers without their knowledge or consent, and seeks statutory damages for the alleged violations.
