Are photos or fingerprints of a minor allowed?

• A. Yes
• B. No
• C. Only photos with consent
• D. Only fingerprints with consent

Answer: (B)

Protecting minors’ privacy means you should not capture or record their photos or biometric data like fingerprints. These items are highly sensitive, and policies require careful handling—often restricting collection of such data for minors or requiring strict, documented authorization through the proper channels. In practice, the safe approach is to refrain from taking photos or fingerprints of a minor, even if someone suggests consent, and instead use non-biometric identifiers and seek guidance from a supervisor if identification or documentation is truly necessary. Therefore, the correct stance is that photos or fingerprints of a minor are not allowed.
