葡萄牙監管機構暫停山姆奧爾特曼的世界幣數據收集

Sam Altman 的 Worldcoin 遭遇重大挫折，葡萄牙資料監管機構以資料保護和未經授權收集未成年人資料的擔憂為由，下令虹膜掃描專案停止生物辨識資料收集 90 天。此舉是在西班牙、肯亞和德國等多個國家進行投訴和調查後做出的。

Portuguese Data Regulator Orders Sam Altman's Worldcoin to Suspend Data Collection

葡萄牙數據監管機構命令山姆奧爾特曼的世界幣暫停數據收集

Lisbon, Portugal - On Tuesday, the Portuguese data protection authority, the Comissão Nacional de Protecção de Dados (CNPD), issued an order suspending the data collection activities of Sam Altman's iris-scanning project, Worldcoin. The order, effective immediately, prohibits Worldcoin from collecting biometric data for a period of 90 days while the regulator conducts further investigations.

葡萄牙里斯本 - 週二，葡萄牙資料保護機構國家保護委員會 (CNPD) 發布命令，暫停 Sam Altman 的虹膜掃描項目 Worldcoin 的資料收集活動。該命令立即生效，在監管機構進行進一步調查期間，禁止 Worldcoin 在 90 天內收集生物辨識資料。

The decision by the CNPD stems from concerns about the privacy and ethical implications of Worldcoin's data collection practices. The project, which involves scanning individuals' irises using handheld "orb" devices, has raised alarms among privacy advocates and regulators worldwide.

CNPD 的決定源於對 Worldcoin 資料收集實踐的隱私和道德影響的擔憂。該計畫涉及使用手持「球體」設備掃描個人虹膜，已引起全球隱私倡導者和監管機構的警惕。

According to the CNPD, the regulator has received numerous complaints in recent weeks alleging unauthorized collection of data from minors, insufficient information provided to individuals, and the inability to erase data or revoke consent. These allegations have prompted the CNPD to intervene to prevent potential harm to citizens' data protection rights.

據 CNPD 稱，監管機構最近幾週收到了大量投訴，指控未經授權收集未成年人資料、向個人提供的資訊不足以及無法刪除資料或撤銷同意。這些指控促使 CNPD 進行幹預，以防止公民的資料保護權利受到潛在損害。

Over 300,000 individuals in Portugal have already provided their biometric data to Worldcoin, raising concerns about the scope and potential misuse of this sensitive information. The CNPD stressed that the suspension of data collection is a temporary measure while it thoroughly investigates these allegations and determines whether Worldcoin is fully compliant with Portuguese data protection laws.

葡萄牙已有超過 30 萬人向 Worldcoin 提供了他們的生物識別數據，引發了人們對這些敏感資訊的範圍和潛在濫用的擔憂。 CNPD 強調，暫停資料收集是一項臨時措施，同時將徹底調查這些指控並確定 Worldcoin 是否完全遵守葡萄牙資料保護法。

Responding to the CNPD's order, Jannick Preiwisch, data protection officer at the Worldcoin Foundation, stated that the project "fully complies with all laws and regulations governing the collection and transfer of biometric data." Preiwisch acknowledged the CNPD's report as the first official communication regarding these matters and asserted that Worldcoin has zero tolerance for underage sign-ups and is working to address any instances of non-compliance.

世界幣基金會資料保護官員 Jannick Preiwisch 回應 CNPD 的命令，表示該專案「完全符合管理生物識別資料收集和傳輸的所有法律法規」。 Preiwisch 承認 CN​​PD 的報告是有關這些問題的第一份官方通訊，並聲稱 Worldcoin 對未成年註冊採取零容忍態度，並正在努力解決任何違規情況。

The Worldcoin project has faced regulatory scrutiny in multiple countries. Spain's data protection agency recently imposed a three-month ban on Worldcoin following similar complaints. In August, Kenya suspended Worldcoin's operations altogether. The Bavarian state regulator in Germany, where Worldcoin's parent company, Tools For Humanity, has a subsidiary, is also investigating the project under the European Union's data protection framework.

世界幣項目已面臨多個國家的監管審查。在收到類似投訴後，西班牙資料保護機構最近對 Worldcoin 實施了為期三個月的禁令。 8 月，肯亞完全暫停了 Worldcoin 的營運。德國巴伐利亞州監管機構（Worldcoin 的母公司 Tools For Humanity 在德國設有子公司）也在歐盟資料保護框架下調查此專案。

The suspension of Worldcoin's data collection in Portugal marks a significant setback for the project, which has touted itself as a groundbreaking initiative aimed at promoting financial inclusion. However, the concerns raised by regulators and privacy experts have cast doubt on Worldcoin's commitment to user data protection and ethical data collection practices.

世界幣在葡萄牙的數據收集暫停標誌著該計畫的重大挫折，該計畫自詡為旨在促進金融包容性的突破性舉措。然而，監管機構和隱私專家提出的擔憂使人們對 Worldcoin 對用戶資料保護和道德資料收集實踐的承諾產生了懷疑。

As the investigation into Worldcoin's activities continues, it remains to be seen whether the project will be able to address the concerns of regulators and regain public trust. The suspension of data collection in Portugal serves as a reminder that companies must prioritize data privacy and transparency when handling sensitive personal information.

隨著對世界幣活動的調查仍在繼續，該項目是否能夠解決監管機構的擔憂並重新獲得公眾信任還有待觀察。葡萄牙暫停資料收集提醒企業在處理敏感個人資訊時必須優先考慮資料隱私和透明度。
