The French data protection authority inspects the Worldcoin office in Paris

ChainCatcher news, the French National Commission on Informatics and Liberty conducted an "inspection" of the Worldcoin Paris office. A spokesperson for the commission stated, "The inspection took place at the Worldcoin Paris office," but the French regulator declined to provide further details.

As an independent regulatory body in France, the commission's task is to ensure that French data privacy laws apply to the collection, storage, and use of personal data. In July of this year, the company stated that it was investigating Worldcoin due to the "questionable" legality of its biometric data.
