Risk signals to check

  • The system identifies or categorizes people using biometric data.
  • The use case may affect access, employment, security, or public spaces.
  • Users may need notice, consent analysis, and fallback paths.
  • False matches can create safety or rights impacts.

Launch review workflow

  1. Define the decision point

    Write down whether the system only assists with face ID access or changes access, ranking, priority, pricing, eligibility, or review.

  2. Map affected people

    For AI Biometric Access Control Checker, list the people who see the output, the people affected by it, and any EU customers, workers, applicants, or end users in scope.

  3. Check human oversight

    Name the trained reviewer for AI Biometric Access Control Checker. Record when that person can override the output, pause the workflow, and explain a consequential result.

  4. Collect launch evidence

    Start with Biometric purpose statement, then keep the risk result, key assumptions, reviewer notes, and user-facing disclosures together.

Documents to prepare

  • Biometric purpose statement
  • Fallback and human review process
  • Data retention and security notes
  • User transparency notice
  • False match incident process

Frequently asked questions

Is face unlock always prohibited?

No. Context matters. The tool flags risk signals so teams know when to pause and get specialist review.

Why does fallback matter?

Users need a way to access services or spaces when biometric matching fails or is inappropriate.
