In Kenya, the Cabinet Secretary for Health alleged that its Orbs devices pose health risks to users.

Worldcoin Responds to Privacy Concerns

According to a blog announcement on April 8, Worldcoin is introducing the two updates to help build trust, increase transparency, and offer users an “increased level” of personal control.

世界币回应隐私问题根据 4 月 8 日的博客公告，世界币将推出这两项更新，以帮助建立信任、提高透明度，并为用户提供“更高级别”的个人控制。

This includes the ability to “unverify” World IDs via permanent iris code deletion and in-person age verification checks to ensure the project is accessible only to individuals 18 years and older.

这包括通过永久虹膜代码删除和亲自年龄验证检查来“取消验证”世界 ID 的能力，以确保该项目仅适合 18 岁及以上的个人访问。

“Once deletion is requested, the individual‘s World ID will become invalid and a 6-month “cool off” period will be initiated to help protect against fraud by ensuring individuals cannot immediately re-verify their humanness. At the end of this cool off period, their iris code will be permanently deleted and unrecoverable,” the statement read.

Acknowledging that it relied on in-person attestations to prevent underage signups, the project said it would bolster its efforts by performing age verification checks on users before they access registration venues.

“一旦请求删除，个人的世界 ID 将失效，并且将启动 6 个月的“冷静”期，以确保个人无法立即重新验证其身份，从而帮助防止欺诈。冷静期结束后，他们的虹膜代码将被永久删除且无法恢复。”声明中写道。该项目承认依靠亲自证明来防止未成年人注册，并表示将通过进行年龄验证来加强其工作在用户进入注册场所之前对其进行检查。

The project said it would use third-party personnel for age checks so that Worldcoin and its contributors “can ensure that they will not know who an individual is,” demonstrating its commitment to preserving personal privacy.

该项目表示，将使用第三方人员进行年龄检查，以便世界币及其贡献者“可以确保他们不会知道某个人是谁”，这表明了其对保护个人隐私的承诺。

Per the statement, the updates are based on preliminary assessments by Worldcoin’s lead supervisory authority in the EU, the Bavarian State Office for Data Protection Supervision (BayLDA), and were developed in consultation with third-party privacy and security experts.

根据声明，这些更新基于 Worldcoin 在欧盟的主要监管机构巴伐利亚州数据保护监管办公室 (BayLDA) 的初步评估，并与第三方隐私和安全专家协商制定。
