ID TECH – A federal judge in Dallas dismissed a biometric privacy lawsuit against Match Group, owner of Tinder and OKCupid, which alleged violations of the Illinois Biometric Information Privacy Act (BIPA) due to collecting user biometric data without proper consent. The case involved Tinder's 2020 photo verification feature using video selfies. Judge David C. Godbey ruled that Texas law was applied based on the apps' terms of service, which does not allow individuals to sue over biometric privacy like Illinois' BIPA.
