Starting next month, X’s updated privacy policy will entitle it to collect some users’ biometric data and other personal information.
Under the revised policy, which takes effect September 29, X (formerly known as Twitter) “may collect and use your biometric information for safety, security and identification purposes” so long as the user provides consent.
The biometric data collection is for X Premium users only, the company told CBS MoneyWatch when reached for further information.
Forgive my ignorance, but do mobile devices even store biometric data ? I was under the impression that our biometric data would be hashed and salted and our thumb/face would unlock it, akin to how a normal password flow works…?
I think what they’re implying here is that X (and other apps) can access the biometric sensors directly themselves.

Weird. Why?
Our new privacy policy is as follows: you don’t have any.
