Biometric authentication data is stored on the device in the secure enclave. It’s only used on the device. It does not need to be sent anywhere.

Your Apple password is sent to Apple, but it is not stored in plaintext. It’s encrypted in transit and hashed at rest so no one can read your actual password.
