In the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois, plaintiff Darryl Riles has filed a class action lawsuit against MNS1 Express Inc. The case ID is 2024CH03119 and was filed on April 11, 2024. The suit alleges violations of the Illinois Biometric Information Privacy Act (BIPA) by the defendant.
Riles, representing himself and other workers similarly situated, claims that they were subjected to unlawful biometric scanning and storage practices by MNS1 Express Inc. As employees of the defendant, they were required to provide their personalized biometric identifiers and derived information without proper consent or disclosure about its storage and potential use.
The plaintiff seeks statutory damages and other equitable relief under BIPA due to these alleged violations. They claim that MNS1 Express Inc failed to comply with the Act's requirements including obtaining written consent from workers for data collection and maintaining a publicly available disclosure of how the biometric data will be handled.
