• Abstract: In recent years’ technological development, biometric technologiessuch as face recognition, fingerprint unlocking and iris recognition havegradually come into public life. These technologies are based on the individual’sbiometric characteristics for identity verification, and this information, whichis closely related to the individual’s body, is called biometric information. Inthe context of Web 3.0, the wide application of biometric information hasbrought convenience to our lives, but the risks in its processing should notbe ignored. Therefore, it is particularly important to review the protectionof biometric information. This paper clarifies the contextual meaning ofbiometric information in China through a comparative study of the definitionof biometric information, focuses on the risks in the processing of biometricinformation, as well as the status quo and deficiencies in the protection ofbiometric information in China’s current laws. Finally, this paper puts forwardsuggestions for the legal protection of biometric information, calling for theestablishment of systematic laws on biometric information, standardisationof the rules for knowing biometric information, and strictness of the rules forconsenting to biometric information, in order to more effectively avoid the risksin the use of biometric information. 在近年来的科技发展中，人脸识别、指纹解锁和虹膜识别等生物识别技术已逐渐走入大众生活。这些技术基于个体的生物特征进行身份验证，这些与个体身体紧密相关的信息，被称之为生物识别信息。在Web3.0的背景下，生物识别信息的广泛应用为我们的生活带来了便利，但其在处理过程中的风险也不容忽视。因此，对生物识别信息的保护进行检视显得尤为重要。本文通过对生物识别信息定义的比较研究，明确其在中国的语境含义，重点探讨生物识别信息处理过程中的风险，以及我国当前法律对生物识别信息的保护现状与不足。最后，本文提出对生物识别信息法律保护的建议，要求建立体系化的生物识别信息法律，规范化生物识别信息知情规则，严格化生物识别信息的同意规则，以更有效地避免生物识别信息利用中的风险。
