State “Companion Bot” Laws: What Business Owners Need to Know in 2026
  1. An amendment to the BIPA effective August 2, 2024 limits statutory damages to a per-person basis, rather than a per scan basis, in an effort to clarify that multiple scans of the same person using the same method only count as one violation. Statutory damages are capped at $1,000 for each negligent violation and $5,000 for intentional or reckless ones. The amendment does not change the rule that individuals may still bring BIPA claims without proving any additional harm beyond a violation of the statute.
  2. The Capture or Use of Biometric Identifiers (CUBI), amended January 1, 2026.
  3. The Washington Biometric Privacy Act.
  4. This includes the right to know (access/data portability), right to delete, right to correct/rectify, right to opt-out of sale/share, and right to limit use or disclosure of sensitive personal information
