Worldcoin, which launched on Monday, requires users to provide their iris scans in exchange for a digital ID and in certain countries free cryptocurrency
Worldcoin has set up sign-up sites in various locations around the world, where people can get their faces scanned by a shiny spherical “orb.”CNIL, the French watchdog, said in response to a Reuters question on Worldcoin “The legality of this collection seems questionable, as do the conditions for storing biometric data.”
Worldcoin was “designed to protect individual privacy and has built a robust privacy program” and is committed to ensuring it meets regulatory requirements, the Worldcoin Foundation said via e-mail. “The Worldcoin Foundation complies with all laws and regulations governing the processing of personal data in the markets where Worldcoin is available,” it said.
