- An app that holds a voiceprint, faceprint, or other biometric identifier of a person in Nepal must have the person's consent before disclosing or publishing it to a third party, and must have consent or lawful authorization before recording a private conversation to derive it in the first place, though Nepal's Privacy Act does not treat biometric data as a heightened "sensitive information" category the way it treats caste, political affiliation, religion, health, or sexual orientation.
