Portuguese Data Regulator Suspends Worldcoin Biometric Data Collection

葡萄牙数据监管机构暂停世界币生物识别数据收集

Lisbon, Portugal - The Portuguese National Data Protection Commission (CNPD) has issued a statement announcing its decision to temporarily halt Worldcoin's collection of biometric data within the country. This move comes in the wake of concerns raised about the company's practices, particularly regarding the collection of data from minors without proper authorization.

葡萄牙里斯本 - 葡萄牙国家数据保护委员会 (CNPD) 发表声明，宣布决定暂时停止 Worldcoin 在该国收集生物识别数据。此举是在人们对该公司的做法感到担忧之后做出的，特别是在未经适当授权的情况下收集未成年人数据的做法。

According to the CNPD, the suspension will remain in effect until the conclusion of an investigation that was initiated on March 8th. The investigation was prompted by "dozens of reports" received by the CNPD alleging that Worldcoin had collected biometric data from minors without the necessary parental or legal consent.

据 CNPD 称，暂停将持续有效，直至 3 月 8 日启动的调查得出结论。 CNPD 收到的“数十份报告”引发了此次调查，这些报告指控 Worldcoin 在未经必要的父母或法律同意的情况下收集了未成年人的生物识别数据。

"Given the current circumstances, in which there is illegality in the processing of minors' biometric data, associated with potential violations of other GDPR standards, the CNPD understood that the risk to citizens' fundamental rights is high, justifying urgent intervention to prevent serious or irreparable damage," the CNPD stated.

“鉴于目前的情况，未成年人生物识别数据的处理存在非法行为，并可能违反其他 GDPR 标准，CNPD 明白公民的基本权利面临很高的风险，因此有理由采取紧急干预措施，以防止严重或严重的后果。”无法弥补的损害，”国家警察局表示。

Worldcoin, a company founded by Sam Altman, CEO and co-founder of the artificial intelligence developer OpenAI, operates by capturing iris scans of individuals using its Orb devices. These scans are used to generate a digital ID and the company's own cryptocurrency.

Worldcoin 是一家由人工智能开发商 OpenAI 的首席执行官兼联合创始人 Sam Altman 创立的公司，通过使用其 Orb 设备捕获个人的虹膜扫描来运营。这些扫描用于生成数字身份证和公司自己的加密货币。

According to Worldcoin, over 4.5 million individuals in 120 countries have signed up for its service, with Portugal reporting approximately 300,000 participants who have provided their biometric data.

据 Worldcoin 称，已有 120 个国家的超过 450 万人注册了其服务，其中葡萄牙报告称约有 30 万名参与者提供了生物识别数据。

The CNPD's decision adds to a growing list of regulatory challenges faced by Worldcoin. The Kenyan government has maintained a ban on the project, despite reported pressure from the United States to reconsider. Legal authorities in Spain have also ordered Worldcoin to cease operations in the country due to complaints about users' inability to withdraw their consent and allegations of data collection from minors.

CNPD 的决定进一步增加了 Worldcoin 面临的越来越多的监管挑战。尽管有报道称美国施压要求其重新考虑，但肯尼亚政府仍维持对该项目的禁令。由于用户抱怨用户无法撤回同意以及收集未成年人数据的指控，西班牙法律当局还下令世界币停止在该国的运营。

Despite these setbacks, Worldcoin maintains that it operates "lawfully in all of the locations in which it is available" and that its practices are compliant with applicable laws. On March 22nd, the company announced that it would be open-sourcing its software and providing a new "personal custody" privacy feature to enhance user control over their data.

尽管遇到这些挫折，世界币仍坚称其“在所有可用地点合法运营”，并且其做法符合适用法律。 3月22日，该公司宣布将开源其软件，并提供新的“个人保管”隐私功能，以增强用户对其数据的控制。

The CNPD's suspension of Worldcoin's data collection in Portugal serves as a reminder of the importance of data privacy and the need for organizations to adhere to established regulations, particularly when handling sensitive personal information. The investigation into Worldcoin's practices is expected to shed light on the extent of the alleged violations and determine appropriate next steps.

CNPD 暂停世界币在葡萄牙的数据收集，这提醒人们数据隐私的重要性以及组织遵守既定法规的必要性，特别是在处理敏感个人信息时。对世界币行为的调查预计将揭示涉嫌违规的程度，并确定适当的后续步骤。
