While the processing of biometric data, such as fingerprints, is subject to strict regulation under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), it is not outright forbidden. The GDPR and its Dutch counterpart, the GDPR Implementation Act (UAVG), make allowances for the use of biometric data for authentication or security purposes when deemed necessary.

In the context of access control, the use of fingerprint biometrics can be justified if it's necessary for security purposes, for instance, in high-security-risk areas. In such cases, a rigorous assessment is carried out to ensure that the benefits of using biometrics for security outweigh the potential intrusion on privacy.

CameroRail's Camero 2.0 platform integrates a secure Biometric Fingerprint Solution for access control, conforming to these regulations. We prioritize securing biometric data by storing it as an encrypted code, not as the actual fingerprint, providing an additional layer of security and protecting individuals' privacy.

It's crucial to note that while using fingerprint biometrics for access control is not forbidden, it should always be guided by the principles of necessity and proportionality and carried out in compliance with data protection regulations.
