Section 5: Privacy Commitment — Biometrica Solutions (UMbRA, RTIS, RVIS, eMotive, QAPLA)

Biometrica’s systems are designed to protect both public safety and individual privacy by embedding guardrails, human oversight, and data minimization principles into all solutions.

No Mass Surveillance

Biometrica does not conduct or enable mass surveillance. Our systems do not capture, store, or retain video footage or general crowd images.

No Biometric Data Retention

Biometrica:

  • Does not access, transmit, store, or retain biometric data, biometric identifiers, or biometric templates (including faceprints)
  • Has no biometric gallery
  • Never receives or retains faceprint, template, or similarity score data from facial recognition activities

Black Box Environment

All biometric comparisons (RTIS, RVIS, QAPLA, eMotive) are performed by a third-party, NIST-evaluated and approved provider operating in a secure and fully isolated black box environment.

Human-in-the-Loop & Guardrails

  • Every RTIS/RVIS alert undergoes human verification at Biometrica’s Rapid Action Center (RAC).
  • Alerts are sent only if verified as both a facial match and relevant to the receiving facility’s lawful purpose.
  • Non-relevant matches are discarded, and unmatched images are immediately deleted.
  • UMbRA searches are private and only accessible to authorized law enforcement or quasi-law enforcement users.
  • Biometrica does not have access to search queries, match results, or eMotive monitoring data.

Section 6: Compliance Highlights

Biometrica complies with:

  • GDPR (when applicable)
  • The UK Data Protection Act
  • The European AI Act (for relevant AI functionality)
  • All U.S. state data privacy laws where applicable
  • The Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) in relation to eMotive background checks
  • FERPA (for K-12 schools) due to data minimization and deletion principles
  • No biometric data is retained, ensuring alignment with Illinois BIPA and other biometric laws

We maintain an up-to-date list of state-specific privacy law notices [link placeholder for your upcoming page].

Section 7: Data Subject Rights

For jurisdictions providing data subject rights:

  • UMbRA records, being derived from public law enforcement records, are not subject to correction or deletion by Biometrica.
  • Requests to access, correct, or delete data processed within our systems must be directed to the originating law enforcement agency.
  • Biometrica maintains immutable audit trails for legal chain-of-custody and evidentiary purposes.

Section 8: Security

  • Biometrica implements strict physical, technical, and organizational security controls.
  • Only trained and credentialed personnel may access alert workflows.
  • UMbRA, RTIS, RVIS, eMotive, and QAPLA are subject to continuous security review.

Section 9: Use of Artificial Intelligence (AI)

Biometrica does not use generative artificial intelligence (AI) or any AI systems for mass surveillance, profiling, or indiscriminate monitoring. Biometrica uses only agentic AI in limited, privacy-protective ways for specific public safety and investigatory purposes. These include:

  • Facial similarity scoring and matching (performed by a third-party, NIST-evaluated and approved provider in an isolated black box environment) strictly in support of threat or victim identification and location.
  • Automated notification of relevant employee-related criminal activity within the eMotive continuous background check system (subject to FCRA compliance and explicit employee consent).

All AI-supported functions:

  • Operate under human-in-the-loop supervision, meaning no alert or decision is automated without trained human review.
  • Are designed and implemented following data minimization and purpose limitation principles, ensuring that only necessary information is used, and only for public safety or legally mandated purposes.
  • Are fully compliant with applicable privacy and data protection regulations, including the GDPR, the UK Data Protection Act, the European Union AI Act, and relevant U.S. federal and state laws.

Biometrica does not:

  • Access, store, transmit or retain biometric templates, biometric identifiers or other biometric data.
  • Use AI for general surveillance, behavioral profiling, or to make fully automated decisions impacting individuals.

All AI components are subject to human oversight, consistent with applicable legal requirements and best practices for the ethical use of AI in public safety and investigatory contexts.

Biometrica employs Agentic AI solely to assist human analysts by generating pointer data (e.g., potential matches or alerts) for investigative and public safety purposes.

  • Biometrica does not use Generative AI.
  • No automated or AI-generated pointer is ever acted upon without human verification by trained analysts at Biometrica’s Rapid Action Center (RAC).
  • All biometric comparisons are conducted by an independent, NIST-evaluated and approved third-party provider operating in a secure and isolated black box environment.
  • Biometrica has no access to:
    • Faceprints
    • Biometric identifiers
    • Any other biometric templates (including but not limited to faceprints)
    • Associated metadata from biometric comparisons
  • Biometrica has no biometric gallery.

All Biometrica systems operate under the principle of Human-in-the-Loop oversight and include immutable audit trails for accountability.
