Published Literature
In May 2023, Simprints launched ‘A Responsible Biometric Deployment Handbook’[1], funded by IBM. The project was supported with a grant from the Notre Dame-IBM Technology Ethics Lab, the applied arm of the Notre Dame Technology Ethics Center. The guide provides tools to explore the ethical and secure adoption of biometric technology in frontline humanitarian and development settings.
In October 2023, Simprints was featured in a Harvard Business School Case Study entitled ‘Toby Norman: Is passion enough for Simprints to thrive?[2]’. The case, written by Professor Jon Jachimowicz, is an in-depth look at the Simprints story and has become part of the core curriculum for all first-year Business students in the LEAD programme at Harvard.

Is it possible to revert back to the edits made?
Hi @Sadads, you kindly dealt with my Username block a few days ago when I was updating the Simprints page. I wanted to ask for some advice please...
I would like to update the Article for the company I work for - Simprints - as it is very out of date and there have been many developments that readers would find interesting and beneficial that are currently not included on the page.
I tried to make all the changes under the Username Simprints, which I didn't realise wasn't allowed and I also didn't know that I needed to declare COI and that I was updating the pages as part of my job (therefore paid to do so). This was my mistake and I appreciate the chance to learn how to use Wikipedia correctly. Thanks for your patience and help!
I'm now submitting each edit needed as an Edit request, but this could take some time. Is there any way that someone could revert back to the changes I made last week, once anything that is not inappropriate is removed?
I would be so grateful for your steer on this. Once the page is up to date, it will be a valuable resource to people who are interested in the topic of Biometrics and impactful not for profit organisations.
With thanks in advance Sima Sima Bodalikar (talk) 12:34, 27 March 2024 (UTC)
- Hi @Sima Bodalikar -- apologies for not responding sooner, but I am not very active at the moment -- it just was very clear to me that your edits were good faith but misunderstanding our policy. Unfortunately, I am going to have to differ to the folks that normally work on COI requests, I simply don't have the energy at the moment. Sadads (talk) 23:52, 9 April 2024 (UTC)
- Hi @Sadads, thank you so much for replying and understanding the circumstances. Please could you advise how I contact the COI folks directly? Best Sima Sima Bodalikar (talk) 10:18, 10 April 2024 (UTC)
