06Frequently asked questions
Is biometric data personal data?
Yes. In Kenya the Data Protection Act, 2019 treats biometric data as sensitive personal data. This is general information, not legal advice. Check with your lawyer.
Can staff refuse?
Offer an alternative such as a card or PIN where a person objects.
Can a terminal stop buddy punching?
Yes. A finger or face belongs to one person, so nobody can clock in for a friend the way they can with a card, a PIN or a paper register.
How long does installation take?
One terminal is usually a few hours: mount, power, network, enrol staff and test. Larger sites take longer.
