德國命令世界幣在調查後實施更嚴格的隱私措施

巴伐利亞州資料保護監管辦公室 (BayLDA) 結束了對 Worldcoin (WLD) 生物識別資料實踐的調查，並指示該公司在一個月內建立符合通用資料保護規範 (GDPR) 的資料刪除流程。

German authorities have ordered crypto firm Worldcoin to implement stricter privacy measures following an investigation into the company’s practices.

在對加密貨幣公司 Worldcoin 的做法進行調查後，德國當局已下令該公司實施更嚴格的隱私措施。

The Bavarian State Office for Data Protection Supervision (BayLDA) concluded its investigation into Worldcoin’s (WLD) biometric data practices and instructed the firm to establish a General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)-compliant data deletion process within a month.

巴伐利亞州資料保護監管辦公室 (BayLDA) 結束了對 Worldcoin (WLD) 生物識別資料實踐的調查，並指示該公司在一個月內建立符合通用資料保護規範 (GDPR) 的資料刪除流程。

The order also mandates the company to obtain explicit user consent for specific data processing activities and delete previously collected data that lacked a sufficient legal basis.

該命令還要求該公司就特定數據處理活動獲得明確的用戶同意，並刪除先前收集的缺乏充分法律依據的數據。

The BayLDA investigation began in April 2023, focusing on Worldcoi's use of iris-derived biometric data to create unique digital identities through its World ID system for authentication purposes. The investigation was conducted in collaboration with other European data protection authorities, adhering to the GDPR framework.

BayLDA 調查於 2023 年 4 月開始，重點關注 Worldcoi 使用虹膜衍生的生物識別數據，透過其 World ID 系統創建獨特的數位身份，以實現身份驗證目的。該調查是與其他歐洲資料保護機構合作進行的，遵循 GDPR 框架。

“With today’s decision, we are enforcing European fundamental rights standards in favor of the data subjects. All users who provided Worldcoin with their iris data will now have the unrestricted right to demand the erasure of their data,” said Michael Will, President of BayLDA.

「透過今天的決定，我們正在執行有利於資料主體的歐洲基本權利標準。所有向 Worldcoin 提供虹膜資料的用戶現在都將擁有不受限制的權利要求刪除其資料。

The investigation identified compliance gaps and highlighted the need for alignment with European data protection standards.

該調查發現了合規性差距，並強調了與歐洲資料保護標準保持一致的必要性。

“Now it is up to Worldcoin to implement the measures ordered by the State Office quickly and completely. We will monitor compliance closely,” Will added.

「現在，世界幣有責任快速、徹底地執行國家辦公室下令的措施。我們將密切監控合規情況，」威爾補充道。

The ruling spans additional concerns beyond data deletion and consent, including safeguarding minors and addressing potential administrative violations.

除了資料刪除和同意之外，該裁決還涉及其他問題，包括保護未成年人和解決潛在的行政違規問題。

Worldcoin’s technology is designed to provide a secure and reliable method for verifying individual identities through a process known as proof-of-humanity. This protocol leverages advanced biometric and cryptographic techniques to ensure that each individual is uniquely identified and that their identity remains secure.

世界幣的技術旨在提供一種安全可靠的方法，透過稱為「人性證明」的過程來驗證個人身份。該協議利用先進的生物識別和加密技術來確保每個人的身份都是唯一的，並且他們的身份保持安全。

However, Worldcoin has faced mixed reception from countries, with a swath of concerns being raised.

然而，各國對世界幣的反應褒貶不一，引發了一系列擔憂。

In September, South Korea’s Personal Information Protection Commission, the national data protection authority of South Korea, imposed a fine of KRW 1.1 billion on the Worldcoin Foundation and Tools For Humanity (TFH).

9月，韓國國家資料保護機構－韓國個人資訊保護委員會對世界幣基金會和Tools For Humanity（TFH）處以11億韓元的罰款。

The investigations began in February after users complained that the company may be engaging in biometric collection and offering users tokens in return.

在用戶抱怨該公司可能從事生物識別收集並向用戶提供代幣作為回報後，調查於二月開始。

Singapore is also still examining the project for data collection and potential financial misconduct. Moreover, Singapore Deputy Prime Minister Gan Kim Yong advised the public against trading their “digital payment token wallet or World ID as these accounts could be misused by third parties.”

新加坡也正在審查該項目的數據收集和潛在的財務不當行為。此外，新加坡副總理顏金勇建議大眾不要交易他們的「數位支付代幣錢包或世界ID，因為這些帳戶可能被第三方濫用」。

Yong made the remarks in response to parliamentary questions concerning Worldcoin’s Singapore operations.

Yong 是在回答議會有關世界幣新加坡業務的問題時發表上述言論的。

“The police are investigating seven subjects for their suspected involvement in offering the services of buying or selling Worldcoin accounts and tokens, which constitute offences under the Payment Services Act 2019,” Yong added.

Yong 補充說：“警方正在調查 7 名涉嫌參與提供買賣 Worldcoin 帳戶和代幣服務的嫌疑人，這構成了《2019 年支付服務法》下的犯罪行為。”

In Kenya, Worldcoin’s operations were initially suspended over privacy and security concerns, but the investigation concluded without penalties, contingent on adherence to local regulations.

在肯亞，世界幣的運作最初因隱私和安全問題而暫停，但調查結束時沒有受到處罰，這取決於當地法規的遵守情況。

Meanwhile, MIMOS, the applied research and development arm of the Malaysian Government, signed an MoU in August with the Worldcoin Foundation, Tools for Humanity (TFH), and e-government services provider MyEG to integrate Worldcoin technology into the country’s digital infrastructure.

同時，馬來西亞政府的應用研究和開發部門MIMOS 於8 月與世界幣基金會、Tools for Humanity (TFH) 和電子政府服務提供商MyEG 簽署了一份諒解備忘錄，將世界幣技術整合到該國的數位基礎設施中。

The partnership is part of Malaysia’s broader strategy to modernize its digital infrastructure and adopt innovative solutions that address emerging challenges in digital identity management. By implementing Worldcoin’s system, Malaysia aims to enhance the security and efficiency of its national identification processes.

此次合作是馬來西亞更廣泛策略的一部分，旨在實現數位基礎設施現代化，並採用創新解決方案來應對數位身分管理中新出現的挑戰。透過實施世界幣系統，馬來西亞旨在提高其國家身分識別流程的安全性和效率。

In September, Worldcoin officially expanded World ID to Malaysia, Guatemala, and Poland. "Against this backdrop, interest in proof of humanness has been steadily expanding," Worldcoin stated.

9 月，Worldcoin 正式將 World ID 擴展到馬來西亞、瓜地馬拉和波蘭。世界幣表示：“在這種背景下，人們對人類性證明的興趣一直在穩步增長。”
