Recital 41

Digital labour platforms should not process biometric data of persons performing platform work for the purpose of identification, namely establishing a person’s identity by comparing his or her biometric data to stored biometric data of a number of individuals in a database (one-to-many identification). This does not affect the possibility for digital labour platforms to conduct biometric verification, namely verifying a person’s identity by comparing his or her biometric data to data previously provided by that same person (one-to-one verification or authentication) where such processing of personal data is lawful under Regulation (EU) 2016/679 or other relevant Union and national law.
