Washington State has criminal NCII statutes and the Washington Facial Recognition Privacy Act (WFPA), which restricts how biometric facial recognition data can be collected and used. ScanErase's zero-retention processing model is consistent with WFPA requirements. For content removal, the federal TAKE IT DOWN Act provides the core removal mechanism that ScanErase automates.
