1 This Biometric Addendum shall apply to the extent that Customer opts into a Biometric Feature. Customer acknowledges and agrees that its use and operation of Biometric Features may involve the extraction, generation, creation, collection, possession, processing, use, transfer, disclosure, storage, or deletion (collectively, “Processing”) of speaker embeddings, voiceprints, or similar data that may be deemed to be “biometric information,” “biometric identifiers,” “biometric data,” or similar terms (as applicable, “Biometric Data”) under one or more applicable laws, which may include, but is not limited to, the Illinois Biometric Information Privacy Act, the Texas Capture or Use of Biometric Identifier Act, the Washington Biometric Identifier statute, or any other similar laws (collectively, to the extent applicable, “Biometric Data Laws”).
