Illinois residents have state NCII criminal statutes under 720 ILCS 5/11-23.5. Illinois also has the Biometric Information Privacy Act (BIPA), which provides the strongest biometric data protections of any US state. ScanErase's zero-retention, in-memory processing model meets and exceeds BIPA requirements. For platform removal, the federal TAKE IT DOWN Act applies to covered platforms with 48-hour mandatory removal deadlines.

Frequently asked questions

Does ScanErase comply with Illinois BIPA?

ScanErase's zero-retention, in-memory processing model means no biometric data is stored, which is the core BIPA requirement. ScanErase operates under Switzerland's nFADP, which is stricter than BIPA.

Does Illinois have strong NCII criminal law?

Yes. Illinois has both a criminal NCII statute and civil remedies. Combined with the federal TAKE IT DOWN Act, Illinois residents have strong multi-layer protection.
