(740 ILCS 14/15)
    Sec. 15. Retention; collection; disclosure; destruction.
    (a) A private entity in possession of biometric identifiers or biometric information must develop a written policy, made available to the public, establishing a retention schedule and guidelines for permanently destroying biometric identifiers and biometric information when the initial purpose for collecting or obtaining such identifiers or information has been satisfied or within 3 years of the individual's last interaction with the private entity, whichever occurs first. Absent a valid warrant or subpoena issued by a court of competent jurisdiction, a private entity in possession of biometric identifiers or biometric information must comply with its established retention schedule and destruction guidelines.
    (b) No private entity may collect, capture, purchase, receive through trade, or otherwise obtain a person's or a customer's biometric identifier or biometric information, unless it first:
        (1) informs the subject or the subject's legally
    
authorized representative in writing that a biometric identifier or biometric information is being collected or stored;
        (2) informs the subject or the subject's legally
    
authorized representative in writing of the specific purpose and length of term for which a biometric identifier or biometric information is being collected, stored, and used; and
        (3) receives a written release executed by the
    
subject of the biometric identifier or biometric information or the subject's legally authorized representative.
    (c) No private entity in possession of a biometric identifier or biometric information may sell, lease, trade, or otherwise profit from a person's or a customer's biometric identifier or biometric information.
    (d) No private entity in possession of a biometric identifier or biometric information may disclose, redisclose, or otherwise disseminate a person's or a customer's biometric identifier or biometric information unless:
        (1) the subject of the biometric identifier or
    
biometric information or the subject's legally authorized representative consents to the disclosure or redisclosure;
        (2) the disclosure or redisclosure completes a
    
financial transaction requested or authorized by the subject of the biometric identifier or the biometric information or the subject's legally authorized representative;
        (3) the disclosure or redisclosure is required by
    
State or federal law or municipal ordinance; or
        (4) the disclosure is required pursuant to a valid
    
warrant or subpoena issued by a court of competent jurisdiction.
    (e) A private entity in possession of a biometric identifier or biometric information shall:
        (1) store, transmit, and protect from disclosure all
    
biometric identifiers and biometric information using the reasonable standard of care within the private entity's industry; and
        (2) store, transmit, and protect from disclosure all
    
biometric identifiers and biometric information in a manner that is the same as or more protective than the manner in which the private entity stores, transmits, and protects other confidential and sensitive information.
