The Challenge

Schools and Learning Centers today face unprecedented challenges:

1. Protecting children from threats
2. Respecting student and family privacy
3. Meeting legal and regulatory requirements (FERPA, civil liberties, and community trust)

Biometrica helps schools meet all three of these priorities.

Biometrica’s Commitment to Schools

• FERPA-Compliant
  Our systems meet the requirements of the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA).
  Images are never retained unless directly relevant to an active alert.
• Privacy by Design
  We do not record or store video.
  We do not retain unmatched images.
  We do not store or transmit biometric data or identifiers.
  If someone is not a match, they remain entirely anonymous.
• Focused on Protecting, Not Watching
  We are not a surveillance company. Our systems are designed to provide targeted alerts only when there is a relevant threat or missing child situation.

Why Schools Choose Biometrica

• Prevents Mass Surveillance
  Unlike traditional CCTV systems that record and store footage of everyone, Biometrica’s RTIS/RVIS only alerts when someone relevant is detected.
  Unmatched images are immediately deleted.
• Supports FERPA and Student Privacy
  There is no database of student, parent, or visitor footage.
  No person who is not relevant is ever identified, recorded, or archived.
• Targeted, Actionable Alerts
  Alerts are encrypted, audited, and sent only to authorized personnel.
  For example, a school would be notified if a sex offender is detected near a playground but not if a parent is simply picking up their child.
• Early Intervention Saves Lives
  According to a 50-year NIJ study on mass shootings:

• • 64.5% of mass shooters had prior criminal records
  • 62.8% had a history of violence
  • The trend is rising rapidly in recent years

We can provide some of this data in real-time, as our sensors run against our 100% law enforcement sourced UMbRA database. Schools deserve tools that provide targeted, actionable information to prevent tragedies.

• Privacy-Protected Staff Monitoring
  Using our separate eMotive solution, schools may also monitor employees and contractors (with consent) for relevant new arrests — such as a DUI for a bus driver or a violent offense for a coach — while remaining HIPAA and privacy compliant.

How It Works

• Immediate real-time detection
• Instant deletion of irrelevant images
• Secure, end-to-end encrypted alerts
• No centralized storage
• Immutable audit trail
• Supports existing security and emergency response plans

Affordable and Scalable

• Designed to work even for small schools
• Fully scalable for large districts
