What follows is LexLint's own research summary of this law, not legal advice.

Commencement not set.

A sensitive categories rule binding private bodies.

As of 27 August 2026.

What it requires

Treat a voiceprint, faceprint, or other biometric identifier as regulated consumer health data in Nevada only where it is related to a health condition, diagnosis, treatment, or similar information under this chapter.
Do not rely on any Nevada statute to cover a general-purpose voiceprint or faceprint you collect for identification, authentication, or marketing with no connection to health status. Nevada has no biometric-privacy statute reaching that use.
Do not assume a photograph or video is exempt. Nevada's biometric data definition names facial imagery directly, with no carve-out for data derived from a recording.

What it reaches

Excludes recording-derived identifiersNo

What this law does

Drafted with AI from the cited sources under the direction of UnGovr staff. UnGovr holds editorial responsibility for this page.

Nevada's only enacted biometric-data definition binds a controller only when the biometric data is related to a health condition, diagnosis, treatment, or similar information, making it "consumer health data" under this chapter; it does not operate as a general biometric-privacy statute.

"Biometric data" is defined broadly, including imagery of a fingerprint, palm print, hand print, scar, bodily mark, tattoo, voiceprint, face, retina, iris, or vein pattern, and keystroke or gait patterns or rhythms that contain identifying information, and unlike New Hampshire's, Kentucky's, Rhode Island's, and Vermont's definitions, it carries no exclusion for a photograph or recording at all, in either direction: imagery of a person's face is itself named as a form of biometric data.

A general-purpose voiceprint or faceprint collected for identification, authentication, or marketing, with no connection to health status, has no Nevada statutory home at all.
