The EU digital euro wallet's biometric authentication raises significant privacy concerns. Storing sensitive biometric data, such as fingerprints or facial scans, risks unauthorized access if devices are lost or hacked. Centralized data storage could become a target for cyberattacks, potentially exposing personal information. Despite GDPR compliance and data minimization principles, vulnerabilities in biometric systems, like spoofing or deepfake attacks, threaten user security. Civil society groups warn that unique identifiers may enable tracking, undermining anonymity. While the wallet offers convenience, insufficient safeguards could lead to over-identification and profiling by Big Tech or governments. Robust encryption, decentralized storage, and transparent, open-source code are critical to mitigate these risks and ensure user trust in the EU's digital identity framework.
