<p class="MsoNormal">More than 10 years ago, the ACLU led
the effort in Illinois to pass the pioneering Biometric
Privacy Information Act (BIPA) in our state. The law –
one of the most far-reaching in the country – assures that
your most private information – including your face print,
fingerprints and DNA – could <b>not</b> be collected and
used by a private company without providing the consumer
notice that the information was being collected and giving
consent for sharing and using the data. In the past few
years, a number of companies – including large social
media companies – have been held accountable in court for
violating the rights of Illinois residents under BIPA. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> Rather than simply
comply with the law, these companies are now working to
gut BIPA and reduce privacy protections for Illinois
residents. On Tuesday afternoon, March 9<sup>th</sup>,
the Illinois House Judiciary – Civil Committee will hear
two bills that gut these protections. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><br>
</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> We are asking you to file
2 witness slips for your <b>SELF</b> as an individual <b>OPPONENT</b> of
House Bill 559 and House Bill 560. At the bottom, click <b>RECORD
OF APPEARANCE ONLY</b>. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><br>
</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>You can find directions and links to
do this</b> <a href="https://www.aclu-il.org/en/take-action-protect-bipa" target="_blank">here</a>. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><br>
</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> Our Advocacy team is
working tirelessly to defeat these – and other measures –
to weaken BIPA. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Your voice would contribute mightily to
this effort. Thanks so much and please feel free to reach
out if you have any questions!</p>
