Consent Record
Clear statement of purpose, withdrawal procedure, and consumer-facing disclosure to meet ESIGN consumer-consent expectations for biometric processing.
A standardized form ensures consistent data capture, preserves signer intent, and creates an auditable chain of custody for biometric data. Accurate records reduce disputes about identity, simplify compliance reviews, and help organizations demonstrate adherence to privacy and industry rules.
Common users include organizations that collect biometric data for identity verification, security, or regulated transactions; each needs documented consent and device metadata.
The specific fields and authentication level required depend on industry rules and the intended downstream use; keep the form aligned with applicable privacy and recordkeeping obligations.

| Image Format | Store as WSQ, PNG, or vendor template per integration. |
| Data Retention | Apply retention policy tied to legal and organizational rules. |
