Reuters: Portugal's data regulator bans Worldcoin from collecting biometric data for 90 days
ChainCatcher news, according to Reuters, Portugal's data protection authority CNPD has ordered Sam Altman's iris scanning project Worldcoin to stop collecting biometric data for 90 days.
The CNPD stated that citizens' data protection rights are at high risk, thus there is reason to take emergency intervention measures to prevent serious harm. The CNPD noted that over 300,000 people in Portugal have provided biometric data to Worldcoin.
Worldcoin stated that the company began transitioning to "self-custody" in March, which will allow users to control their own data, including deletion and any future use.
