Yeah.. It's most definitely to protect their customers from kid-thieves. The biometric data will certainly be used only for authentication and nothing else.

  To be fair some biometrics give you the same level of privacy as your bank card. Mastercard doesn’t know any less when you pay by card or NFC. They know where you were, what you buy, how frequently, etc., it doesn’t give them any more or less “tracking” information wether you paid with chip and pin or my scanning your hand. The latter just gives you as a consumer more fraud protection, something which can’t be stolen or forgotten and something which is more convenient. For example you can go to the beach without your wallet. I personally think there is a future in here which is a win for both parties.
