Worldcoin agrees to suspend activities in Spain until the end of the year or until a resolution is reached by the German data authority in ongoing data protection investigations.
The Spanish data watchdog announced that Worldcoin has legally agreed not to resume its activity in Spain until the end of the year.
On June 4, the Spanish Agency for Data Protection (AEPD) said that Tools for Humanity Corporation, the company behind the human identity and financial network Worldcoin, will not resume collecting and processing data until the end of 2024 or until final resolutions of an ongoing investigation.
Currently, the data protection authority of Bavaria, Germany, Bayerische Landesamt für Datenschutzaufsicht (BayLDA), is investigating the organization regarding its treatment of personal user data.
