I've been into project that offering their native token for some skin data analysis and I think they get thousands of participants during that challenge/event. I don't know somehow if these data will be use for research or something but if it's just gonna be used for exploitation and for the money they might get, then that's too alarming or disheartening at the same time.

That's what I think. The same as the fingerprint on the cell phone. I'm not a big fan of making my data accessible to private companies and, for example, I don't have my cell phone locked with a fingerprint even though I could. But I don't think it's as bad as it might seem at first glance.

Your fears seem a little paranoid to me. You are probably using the latest camera phones? After all, biometric data is collected not only by fingerprints, which, by the way, can be easily faked, but also by ordinary photographs, and you may not be aware that when you look at the phone, its camera is working. Some apps can easily identify the face and even the retina or iris of the eyes.  How much information is sent about us to Apple servers?

Therefore, we should not panic so much if we hear here and there about various kinds of information gathering. You need to have great knowledge and constantly monitor the news to be completely anonymous. I honestly doubt that most of the users who are here so actively protecting their privacy know how to properly protect themselves.

More often than not, this confidence looks like self-deception. Smiley

If someone is giving their biometric data for some shitcoin then they are to be blamed amd the project team is taking advantage of the ignorance among the people. But we don't know what will happen in the future but its obvious that data is going to be the biggest wealth of this internet era.

I doubt they are doing so because they love or care about the people who will fall for this, if indeed they are offering or planning to offer money to people to have their iris scanned. Most likely they love themselves so much that they are willing to sacrifice people's privacy by any means possible for their own selfish gains.
The ones who'll give away such information are either so ignorant or love money so much that they are willing to do anything to have it
