As far as I understand the original source (https://www.aepd.es/prensa-y-comunicacion/notas-de-prensa/la https://www.aepd.es/prensa-y-comunicacion/notas-de-prensa/la...), Worldcoin has:
- Not provided enough information about how the data is stored/used
- Collected data from minors
- Not offered individuals to withdraw their consent
So the data protection agency of Spain is temporary halting any data processing/transfers, in order to protect people from the unlawful collection.
Is this the first time "Urgency procedure"/Article 66 (https://gdpr-info.eu/art-66-gdpr/ https://gdpr-info.eu/art-66-gdpr/) of the GDPR is being used in the wild?
- jt2190 3y agoIt’ll also be interesting to see how these privacy regulations interact with “Proof of Humanity” (POH) schemes in the long run. For example, if POH becomes a fundamental security precaution to do financial transactions [1] would you be opting out of most of the modern economy? Edit: If my memory is correct, Worldcoin claims to have a “key” that was generated using your retina, but the key is not associated with your identity. You can then present the key to a third party who can verify with Worldcoin that you are human, but not a specific person. [1] Imagine a bot that could impersonate you and drain your bank account, for example.
