Hong Kong bans Worldcoin’s data collection over alleged privacy violations
Hong Kong’s Office of the Privacy Commissioner for Personal Data (PCPD) has prohibited Worldcoin from collecting data in the region due to privacy violation concerns, according to a May 22 notice. The privacy regulator alleged that Worldcoin collected iris and facial images from 8,302 residents using an iris-scanning device. This data collection aimed to verify user identity and generate iris codes in exchange for WLD tokens. Worldcoin has repeatedly affirmed that biometric data is hashed, meaning no images of Iris scans are stored.
