This application is directed to a Biometric Locking Jar with Integrated Vacuum Pump. More particularly, this application provides a biometric locking lid capable of interfacing with a jar or other container, wherein the biometric locking lid includes a built-in electrically powered vacuum pump and a labyrinth seal lid gasket which acts to lock the jar from unauthorized access by pulling a vacuum within the jar and securing the lid to the jar preventing unauthorized access to the contents of the jar. A user enrolls a fingerprint or thumb print. The vacuum pump is activated by scanning and recognizing a user's enrolled fingerprint. The locking jar may be used to keep contents secure and fresh, and also out of the reach of children or other unauthorized individuals as it employs the user's fingerprint or thumb print to release the vacuum and open the jar, allowing access to the contents inside.
