Provided is a method for managing a biometric sensor configured to collect a captured biometric data and a secure element able to communicate with the biometric sensor through a communication channel. The method comprises receiving a specific data by the biometric smart card, and checking the specific data by using a control data pre-stored in the biometric smart card. Only if said checking is successful, it then executes an erasing command for removing said reference biometric data from the biometric smart card and a disabling command for permanently deactivating the communication channel.
