Catalin Cimpanu reports:

A class-action lawsuit has been filed in Illinois against fast food restaurant chain Wendy’s accusing the company of breaking state laws in regards to the way it stores and handles employee fingerprints.

The lawsuit was filed on September 11, in a Cook County court, according to a copy of the complaint obtained by ZDNet.

The complaint is centered around Wendy’s practice of using biometric clocks that scan employees’ fingerprints when they arrive at work, when they leave, and when they use the Point-Of-Sale and cash register systems.
