German regulators demand compliance changes from World ID after a biometric data investigation.
German data protection authority, the Bavarian State Office for Data Protection Supervision (BayLDA), has issued corrective measures for the digital identity project World, formerly known as Worldcoin, over its handling of biometric data.
The BayLDA announced on Dec. 19 that it had concluded its investigation into World’s compliance with the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
The authority has ordered World to implement a data deletion procedure that adheres to GDPR standards within one month of the ruling’s effective date.
