Partner Ken Rashbaum Featured as a Speaker for Webinar on Liability and Insurance Issues Arising out of Biometrics

Partner Ken Rashbaum was recently tapped as a featured speaker for the webinar, “Do You Have Insurance Coverage for that Fingerprint?: Liability and Insurance Issues Arising out of Biometrics.” The webinar covered the basics of biometric technology, how companies are using it, and how governments are trying to regulate its use via privacy laws that seek to protect individuals’ biometric information. The webinar also considered New York City’s recently enacted Biometric Identifier Information Law, which bans the sale of biometric data and imposes notice requirements on certain businesses that use biometric technology. Finally, panelists examined how the insurance world is reacting to these biometric privacy issues, including the status of the marketplace and new biometric-specific exclusions.
