What Biometrics Information is stored on the server?

The fingerprint recognition application software on the Posiflex kiosks does not store a copy of your fingerprint. It stores an alphanumeric representation of the fingerprint,
 a great bit long random string, which is unique to each fingerprint. It is a map of 25 to 40 unique features of your fingerprint
 and then puts it into a data format called a template. 
 This data is called Finger Minutiea Data, or FMD. That specific template can only be interpreted by the biometric engine on the kiosk. If one were to look at the template of a fingerprint, it would not be recognizable, as the information is a set of numbers and typically encrypted.
