Worldcoin responded to allegations of violating privacy regulations, stating that it does not profit from personal information

ChainCatcher news, Worldcoin responded to the "Hong Kong Privacy Commissioner’s ruling that Worldcoin violated privacy regulations," stating that it does not attempt to understand, share, or profit from personal identities or personal information, but only to verify that they are human and unique. This is the core premise behind World ID, which is a secure private digital passport that allows individuals to prove they are human online.

It is reported that the steps taken by Worldcoin in 2024 to improve transparency, enhance privacy and security, and improve user choice and control at all levels of the project include: in March of this year, Worldcoin implemented personal custody; in April, Worldcoin announced that World ID holders can now choose to unverify their World ID. This includes permanently deleting their iris code; in May, Worldcoin launched its secure multi-party computation (SMPC) system.
