Iris Scanner

From Wageloch Wiki

Another biometric clocking option Wageloch offers is Iris Scanners. This hardware requires Wageloch Time Kiosk to be installed on your Windows-based computer. You can find more information over at Installing Wageloch.

As the Iris Scanner has biometric functionality, this requires us to mention Biometric Privacy and how data is stored.
