In China, collecting your bio data is more like a procedure than a choose.
For example, I renewed my citizen ID card few weeks ago, and got my facial and fingerprint collected.
Also, some companies like Alibaba are helping the data collection: https://www.engadget.com/2017/09/03/alipay-facial-recognitio... and http://www.solidot.org/story?sid=47235 (In Chinese)
I believe all those data will be used to help tracking people.
btw, your example is pretty weak. my facial features were collected many times in the last two weeks in US in airports and companies i visited
