Privaris focuses its technology expertise on the intersection of high security biometric applications and the individual's right to personal privacy. The company's hardware and software products apply the power and security of fingerprint biometrics to everyday life.

Their products are targeted for use by the average consumer, small businesses, corporate enterprises of all sizes, and federal, state and local governments.

By applying innovative product design, manufacture, and distribution, it is enabling the widespread adoption of personal and affordable biometric security solutions across a broad segment of society - today.
