The Worldcoin project has reached a legal agreement to cease its operations in Spain until the end of the year, according to the Spanish data protection authority. The Spanish Agency for Data Protection (AEPD) disclosed that Tools for Humanity Corporation, the company behind Worldcoin, will temporarily halt data collection and processing until the culmination of 2024 or the resolution of ongoing investigations. Currently, the Bavarian data protection authority, BayLDA, in Germany, is conducting inquiries into Worldcoin's management of personal user data. The investigations are in progress, with an anticipated decision from BayLDA aligned with European supervisory authorities, including those in Spain who had mandated Worldcoin to halt data collection and processing activities in the country. Responding to the scrutiny, Worldcoin has reinforced security measures, such as releasing its biometric data system as an open-source and implementing stricter controls for user verification and iris code removal. Despite facing challenges in various countries like Spain and Germany, Worldcoin has showcased growth by reaching milestones of 10 million users and 70 million transactions in April 2024. Additionally, the project launched its 'human-centric' blockchain network, World Chain, to prioritize user needs and efficiency, and it plans to increase its token supply by up to 19% in the next six months.
