巴伐利亚数据监管机构命令 Worldcoin 删除生物识别数据巴伐利亚州数据保护监管办公室 (BayLDA) 在根据通用数据保护条例 (GDPR) 标准对该公司处理敏感虹膜数据的情况进行调查后，已命令 Worldcoin 删除特定的生物识别数据。

On Dec. 19, the BayLDA mandated Worldcoin, now operating under the name World, to create a data deletion procedure compliant with GDPR. The company has been given one month to comply with this ruling.

12 月 19 日，BayLDA 要求 Worldcoin（现在以 World 名义运营）创建符合 GDPR 的数据删除程序。该公司已被给予一个月的时间来遵守这一裁决。

The BayLDA launched an investigation into Worldcoin in 2023 over the methods used to collect and store biometric data for its World ID verification system. This development raises critical questions about GDPR compliance in the digital identity sector.

BayLDA 于 2023 年针对 Worldcoin 对其 World ID 验证系统收集和存储生物识别数据的方法发起了调查。这一发展引发了有关数字身份领域 GDPR 合规性的关键问题。

Worldcoin appeals for clarity on anonymization standardsIn response to the ruling, the World Foundation appealed for clarity on whether its Privacy Enhancing Technologies (PETs) align with EU anonymization standards. The foundation highlighted the absence of a consistent definition of anonymization under GDPR.

世界币呼吁澄清匿名标准作为对裁决的回应，世界基金会呼吁澄清其隐私增强技术（PET）是否符合欧盟匿名标准。该基金会强调 GDPR 中缺乏一致的匿名定义。

In May 2024, Worldcoin stated that it had deleted all previously collected data linked to its old iris data collection system to meet regulatory requirements. However, the current directive includes stricter measures.

2024 年 5 月，Worldcoin 表示已删除所有先前收集的与其旧虹膜数据收集系统相关的数据，以满足监管要求。然而，当前的指令包括更严格的措施。

According to the foundation, data anonymization plays a crucial role in protecting user privacy. The organization stressed that clear guidelines are needed to balance compliance and technological advancement.

该基金会表示，数据匿名化在保护用户隐私方面发挥着至关重要的作用。该组织强调需要明确的指导方针来平衡合规性和技术进步。

Bavarian regulator strengthens user rights“All users who have provided Worldcoin with their iris data will in future have the unrestricted opportunity to enforce their right to erasure,” said BayLDA President Michael Will in the ruling.

巴伐利亚监管机构加强用户权利 BayLDA 总裁迈克尔·威尔 (Michael Will) 在裁决中表示，“所有向 Worldcoin 提供虹膜数据的用户将来都将有不受限制的机会行使其删除权。”

The regulator’s decision aims to ensure that Worldcoin users can fully exercise their right to delete personal data. Additionally, the BayLDA now requires Worldcoin to obtain explicit consent from users for specific data processing activities in the future.

监管机构的决定旨在确保世界币用户能够充分行使其删除个人数据的权利。此外，BayLDA 现在要求 Worldcoin 就未来的特定数据处理活动获得用户的明确同意。

Worldcoin ordered to delete non-compliant dataThe directive also includes the deletion of data collected during the project’s initial phase in summer 2023, which the BayLDA found was not processed in accordance with the GDPR. This involves the removal of iris codes collected without a sufficient legal basis.

Worldcoin 下令删除不合规数据该指令还包括删除 2023 年夏季该项目初始阶段收集的数据，BayLDA 发现这些数据未按照 GDPR 进行处理。这涉及删除在没有充分法律依据的情况下收集的虹膜代码。

While the current decision focuses on GDPR compliance, other user complaints, such as concerns about the protection of minors, remain unresolved. The BayLDA clarified that these issues will be handled in separate proceedings.

虽然当前的决定侧重于 GDPR 合规性，但其他用户投诉，例如对未成年人保护的担忧，仍未得到解决。 BayLDA 澄清，这些问题将在单独的程序中处理。

The World Foundation reiterated its stance that anonymization, alongside data deletion, is essential to safeguarding user privacy in the digital era. As the debate over compliance progresses, Worldcoin must implement the required measures within the specified timeframe.

世界基金会重申其立场，即匿名化和数据删除对于保护数字时代的用户隐私至关重要。随着合规性争论的进展，世界币必须在规定的时间内实施所需的措施。
