Understanding Cams Biometric Data Storage & Security

Quick Summary – What Can Be Stored in the Machine

For better understanding, here’s what information can be stored in Cams Biometric machines:

1. User ID – Unique numerical identifier (up to 8 digits)
2. Name – User’s name in English characters
3. Fingerprint Template – Encrypted mathematical representation (no actual fingerprint image)
4. Face Photo – Actual photo with AI-processed templates
5. RFID Card Number – Card identification data
6. Privilege – Access level (User/Admin)

Data Security and Privacy

Fingerprint Data Protection

Your fingerprint data is completely secure with Cams Biometric machines:

• No fingerprint images are stored – only mathematical templates generated with guidelines taken from ISO/IEC 19794-2 and applied with AES 256 encryption which is highly protective
• Templates cannot be reverse-engineered to recreate your original fingerprint
• Military-grade AES 256 encryption ensures data cannot be accessed by unauthorized parties
• Industry-standard security protocols protect all biometric information

Face Recognition Security

Face data is protected through advanced security measures:

• AI-powered anti-spoofing technology prevents unauthorized access using photos or videos
• Actual photos are stored on the device as plain images
• Photos are transmitted to your server when API integration is configured and requested
• Advanced algorithms ensure accurate identification while maintaining privacy

RFID Card Security

Card-based access maintains security through:

• Encrypted card data storage on the device
• Unique card identification prevents duplication
• Secure transmission between card and reader

Overall Data Protection

• All user data is encrypted and stored securely on the device
• No biometric data transmission to external servers without explicit API configuration
• Access control – only authorized administrators can manage user data
• Regular security updates through firmware upgrades
• Compliance with international biometric data protection standards. Refer https://camsbiometrics.com/application/terms-and-conditions.html#compliance for complete details about compliance policy
