[EN] Don't play around with users' biometric data

Biometric data is among the most sensitive categories of personal data, intrinsically linked to an individual and incapable of being “reset” once compromised. This podcast analyzes Vietnam’s new legal framework under the Law on Personal Data Protection 2025 and Decree 356, the stringent compliance obligations imposed on enterprises, and the legal risks illustrated by landmark cases such as Patel v. Facebook. It underscores the urgent need for organizations to recalibrate their approach by strengthening data governance, implementing robust technical safeguards, and ensuring valid, transparent consent, thereby mitigating legal risks in an era where biometric data is increasingly regarded as a high-value digital asset._____HM&P Law FirmAddress: 7th Floor, ITAXA Building, 126 Nguyen Thi Minh Khai, Xuan Hoa Ward, HCMCPhone: +84 28 73080839Email: [email protected]: https://hmplaw.vn/
