The Data Protection Agency prohibits Worldcoin from continuing to collect iris data, which gave cryptocurrencies in exchange. The organization freezes this activity in Spain through an emergency procedure until it is clarified whether the activity complies with the law.
Since the summer, Worldcoin has collected high-resolution photographs of the irises of 400,000 users in exchange for money. The agency demands the immediate cessation of the collection and processing of biometric data from the company Tools for Humanity Corporation, which works for WorldCoin.
