Illinois Biometric Information Privacy Act (BIPA) Notice
Effective Date: January 1, 2026 Version: 1.2 Last Updated: September 1, 2026
Notice to Illinois Residents
This notice is provided pursuant to the Illinois Biometric Information Privacy Act, 740 ILCS 14 ("BIPA"). If you are an Illinois resident using the Commando 360 mobile application, this notice describes our biometric data practices and your rights under Illinois law.
Summary of Key Points:
Commando 360 collects facial geometry data to verify identity during enrollment and configured attendance, manager spot-check, and patrol-route verification events. This data is maintained in private, access-limited systems and is subject to the retention and destruction schedule below. We do not sell, lease, trade, or otherwise profit from biometric data. You may request access to your biometric information or request deletion, subject to applicable law.
Before any biometric data is collected, we will obtain your written consent. You may refuse to provide consent, though this may affect your ability to use certain features of the platform.

2. Biometric Identifiers and Information Collected
Commando 360 collects the following biometric identifiers and biometric information from Illinois residents who use our mobile application:
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Facial Geometry Scan | A numerical template or descriptor derived from the geometric pattern of facial features and used for identity comparison |
| Face Descriptor | A digital template derived from your facial geometry that uniquely identifies you |
| Facial Photographs | Digital photographs of your face captured during enrollment and verification |
| Liveness Detection Data | Technical data used to verify you are a live person and not a photograph, video, or mask |
| Limited Verification Metadata | Event time and type, result status, and technical identifiers needed to secure, diagnose, and audit verification |
These are "biometric identifiers" as defined by 740 ILCS 14/10.
3. Purpose for Collection
We collect biometric identifiers and biometric information solely for the following specific purposes:
- Identity Verification: To verify identity during enrollment, shift check-in and check-out, and configured periodic attendance, manager spot-check, or patrol-route checkpoints
- Attendance Tracking: To confirm your physical presence at your assigned work location
- Fraud Prevention: To prevent "buddy punching" (having another person clock in for you), time theft, and unauthorized access
- Security: To maintain secure access to protected premises where you may be assigned
We will NOT use your biometric identifiers or biometric information for any other purpose without first providing you with written notice and obtaining your written consent.
We do not use facial data for advertising, marketing, cross-app tracking, or unrelated profiling.
4. Retention Period
Your biometric identifiers and biometric information will be retained for the following period:
Retention Schedule
| Data Type | Retention Period |
|---|---|
| Face descriptors (templates) | Duration of your employment/engagement + 90 days |
| Enrollment photographs | Duration of your employment/engagement + 90 days |
| Verification and face-evidence photographs, including associated match and liveness results | 3 years by default or a shorter documented customer or legal period |
| Transient face-verification job metadata | 90 days after completion or failure |
Retention Standard
Each category is retained only until the first of the following occurs:
- The initial purpose for collecting or obtaining such identifiers or information has been satisfied; or
- The applicable period in the schedule above ends; or
- Three years after your last interaction with Commando 360, where that maximum is required by Illinois law.
5. Destruction of Biometric Data
Upon expiration of the retention period, or upon a valid request for deletion where deletion is required, we will permanently destroy the biometric identifiers and biometric information within 90 days using deletion methods appropriate to the relevant database, object storage, logs, indices, and protected backup systems.
Destruction Certification: Upon written request, we will provide confirmation that your biometric data has been destroyed.
6. Disclosure and Non-Sale of Biometric Data
We Will NOT:
- Sell your biometric identifiers or biometric information
- Lease your biometric identifiers or biometric information
- Trade your biometric identifiers or biometric information
- Otherwise profit from your biometric identifiers or biometric information
Disclosure Restrictions
We will NOT disclose, redisclose, or otherwise disseminate your biometric identifiers or biometric information to any third party unless:
- You provide written consent to such disclosure;
- The disclosure completes a transaction you requested or authorized;
- The disclosure is required by law (e.g., valid subpoena, court order, or law enforcement request); or
- The disclosure is required by a valid warrant issued by a court of competent jurisdiction.
Sub-Processors
Supabase stores and processes biometric data solely as Commando 360's contracted database and object-storage infrastructure provider. It is restricted to the contracted service, is subject to applicable confidentiality, security, and data-protection terms, and may not use the data for its own advertising or marketing purposes.
7. Storage and Protection
Technical Safeguards
Your biometric identifiers and biometric information are protected by industry-standard security measures:
- Encrypted Transport: HTTPS/TLS for supported network connections
- Stored-Data Protection: Provider-managed encryption at rest and private storage where applicable
- Access Controls: Role- and attribute-based application controls limiting access to authorized purposes
- Logging: Security and activity logging for selected biometric events and systems
Storage Location
The production biometric database and private object storage are hosted through Supabase in the ap-south-1 (Mumbai, India) region. Facial data is protected in transit using HTTPS/TLS and at rest using Supabase's provider-managed storage protections. Supabase may process limited request, security, or support data from other locations under its applicable service terms, as described in the Privacy Policy.
Authorized Access
Authorized organizational security or compliance personnel may access verification photographs, match or liveness results, and limited verification metadata only within their permitted organizational scope. Customer organizations do not receive direct access to facial geometry templates. Authorized Commando 360 support or security staff may access facial data only as needed to provide, secure, support, investigate, or legally administer the Service.
Protection Standard
We protect your biometric identifiers and biometric information using the reasonable standard of care within our industry, and in a manner that is the same as or more protective than the manner in which we store, transmit, and protect other confidential and sensitive information.
