Amazon mandating drivers sign 'biometric consent' form or lose jobs: Report

Retail giant Amazon is reportedly requiring its delivery drivers to sign a “biometric consent” form, which gives the company the ability to collect facial data, and if they refuse, they could lose their jobs.

“Amazon may … use certain Technology that processes Biometric Information, including on-board safety camera technology which collects your photograph for the purposes of confirming your identity and connecting you to your driver account,” the form, which was obtained by Vice, read. “Using your photograph, this Technology may create Biometric Information, and collect, store, and use Biometric Information from such photographs.”
