A business that collects personal information about consumers and sells that information to other organizations.
Explanation:
Data brokers, also known as data suppliers, data fetchers, information brokers, or even data providers are businesses or companies (even individuals) that, on the most basic level, source and aggregate data and information (mostly information that are meant to be confidential or that are in the real sense difficult to get) and then resell them to third parties. These third parties could be other data brokers.
They collect data and information from a wide range of resources and sources - offline and/or online e.g web access history, bank details, credit card information, official records (such as birth and marriage certificates, driver's licenses).
Brokers can steal round about any information. Examples of information that brokers legally or illegally steal are full name, residential address, marital status, age, gender, national identification number, bank verification number. Brokers and hackers are siblings.
A couple types of data brokers are:

Answer:
Biometrics in this sense refers to any human information that can be used as unique identifiers such as fingerprints, iris scan, facial scan, voice patterns and typing cadence.
The advantage of biometrics is that they can not be duplicated. That is, two people can never share the same biometric information except if they are clones of each other.
Given that this kind of unique identifiers can be also be stored as data, it thus creates a cyber risk. If stolen, it may be used to access any part of the user's life. The loss of biometric data to hackers is so detrimental that it can be used to falsify legal documents, identifications documents, or other forms of and even credit card details.
