German watchdog orders Worldcoin to delete data collected illegally
AI summary of the linked articleGerman data protection regulator BayLDA has ordered World, formerly Worldcoin, to implement a GDPR-compliant data deletion procedure within one month of the ruling's effective date. The BayLDA announced on Dec. 19 that it had concluded its investigation and ordered deletion of certain iris code records collected without a sufficient legal basis, from summer 2023 until a point in 2024. BayLDA president Michael Will said the decision aims to strengthen the rights of World users. The World Foundation has appealed, asking regulators to clarify whether World's Privacy Enhancing Technologies meet the EU legal definition of anonymization. |
