Overview (Program Summary)

A program hosted by:

ACC Chicago

The Illinois Supreme Court held in Rosenbach v. Six Flags Enter. Corp. that Illinois residents do not have to allege actual harm to state a cause of action under the Illinois Biometric Information Privacy Act. Since this monumental decision, class action lawsuits under BIPA (mostly based purely on procedural violations), are being filed against companies, particularly Illinois employers, at an alarming rate. With no imminent legislative action curtailing the rush of BIPA litigation, it is critical that companies have the appropriate policies and procedures in place to comply with BIPA. Join us for a discussion on what BIPA requires for companies and employers and the potential penalties for noncompliance, as well as best practices to avoid a BIPA lawsuit.  We will also discuss how the threat of BIPA liability has impacted product and services offerings in Illinois.
