And risk number three from the same:

“If the unnamed biometric vendor suffers a breach during the processing window before deletion completes, Headway faces HIPAA notification obligations and reputational damage tied directly to patient mental health records.”

Risk number two from above article:

“Patients with trauma histories, immigration concerns, or disabilities who cannot safely submit facial scans lose access to mental health care, creating potential ADA disparate-impact liability for Headway.”

#autism #privacy #identityverification #ageverification #mentalhealth #persona #IDverification #biometricdata

“Headway faces class-action exposure under Illinois BIPA or similar state biometric laws if deletion timing or vendor data handling is found non-compliant, even given post-check deletion claims.”

(Note that earlier in the thread it is shown that the data retention by Persona is six years.)
