A Comparative Legal Analysis Author(s): Els J. Kindt Format: Paperback Publisher: Springer, Netherlands Imprint: Springer ISBN-13: 9789402406474, 978-9402406474 Synopsis This book discusses all critical privacy and data protection aspects of biometric systems from a legal perspective. It contains a systematic and complete analysis of the many issues raised by these systems based on examples worldwide and provides several recommendations for a transnational regulatory framework. An appropriate legal framework is in most countries not yet in place. Biometric systems use facial images, fingerprints, iris and/or voice in an automated way to identify or to verify (identity) claims of persons. The treatise which has an interdisciplinary approach starts with explaining the functioning of biometric systems in general terms for non-specialists. It continues with a description of the legal nature of biometric data and makes a comparison with DNA and biological material and the regulation thereof. After describing the risks, the work further reviews the opinions of data protection authorities in relation to biometric systems and current and future (EU) law. A detailed legal comparative analysis is made of the situation in Belgium, France and the Netherlands. The author concludes with an evaluation of the proportionality principle and the application of data protection law to biometric data processing operations, mainly in the private sector. Pleading for more safeguards in legislation, the author makes several suggestions for a regulatory framework aiming at reducing the risks of biometric systems. They include limitations to the collection and storage of biometric data as well as technical measures, which could influence the proportionality of the processing. The text is supported by several figures and tables providing a summary ofparticular points of the discussion. The book also uses the 2012 biometric vocabulary adopted by ISO and contains an extensive bibliography and literature sources.

  1. Don't be fooled by a rival company selling the same book cheaper. They will never deliver and fob you off with excuses for months! I am absolutely delighted with Books etc. I should have purchased from them first time around instead of being tempted by a slightly cheaper price! Book etc are my go to eBay store of choice for hard to get titles that I am looking for. They have never disappointed me. Every delivery is packaged safely. the descriptions are 100% accurate and i get my order in days.

  2. Good seller, ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ item as described, packaging average, delivery was a huge disappointment as it was thrown at my front door by an AMAZON driver. I purchased via eBay to avoid AMAZON, now they are involved leaving our eBay purchases on our doorsteps. I do have cctv of the driver throwing my package. I brought the poor delivery to the attention of the seller who advised they would contact the delivery organisation concerned about the breach in their delivery instructions.

    Relatively Uncertain

  3. I purchased this item as a novelty birthday gift. Item arrived in a cardboard envelope which I was able to recycle. Item is as expected, small book which was described as new. That is what I received. Tracking was provided and item arrived day earlier than expected. However, item was not posted as soon as payment was received, so check items for due delivery if you want an item quickly. Communication excellent. Would buy from this seller again.
