One of Germany’s top privacy regulators began investigating Worldcoin’s data collection practices in November 2022, and the probe is still ongoing, Reuters reported on July 31.
The Bavarian State Office for Data Protection Supervision President Michael Will told the newswire that the regulator had concerns over the project’s aim to process “sensitive data at a very large scale.”
Will said that the German watchdog is leading the investigation into Worldcoin’s data collection and storage practices under European data protection rules because Tools for Humanity — the company behind the Worldcoin project — has a subsidiary in the country.
He added that several other European authorities are also interested in Worldcoin and have made requests for information as it falls under the German regulator’s direct oversight.
