Read more examples of how organisations may want to use biometric information. They provides an overview of how the Code could apply to each scenario.

Note: All the examples in the guidance are simplified and are for illustrative purposes only. They are not an endorsement of any particular biometric system or a comment on any particular purpose or use case. Agencies must conduct their own assessment based on their own circumstances for each use of biometrics. Agencies will require more detail for their assessment than is included in the examples.
