Court certifies class action against Amazon for alleged biometric data misuse via Amazon Photos

A U.S. District Court certified a class action lawsuit against Amazon, alleging violation of Illinois' Biometric Information Privacy Act (BIPA) by collecting biometric data through Amazon Photos without proper notice or consent. The class includes Illinois residents whose facial images were processed using Amazon's facial-recognition technology from 2016 to 2023. The court rejected Amazon's argument that consent issues are individualized, emphasizing that the case hinges on whether Amazon provided adequate notice and obtained written consent as required by law. This ruling allows potentially hundreds of thousands of users to pursue claims against Amazon.
