Worldcoin 暂停西班牙业务，直至 2024 年底或 GDPR 审计完成

该决定是在西班牙数据保护局 (AEPD) 三月份首次发出暂停令之后作出的。

Worldcoin, a project aiming to create a universal digital identity, has paused its operations in Spain until the end of 2024 or the completion of an audit on its firm by the Bavarian Data Protection Authority (BayLDA). This decision comes after the Spanish Data Protection Agency (AEPD) initially suspended Worldcoin’s operations in March.

Worldcoin 是一个旨在创建通用数字身份的项目，已暂停在西班牙的运营，直至 2024 年底或巴伐利亚数据保护局 (BayLDA) 完成对其公司的审计。这一决定是在西班牙数据保护局 (AEPD) 三月份最初暂停 Worldcoin 的运营之后做出的。

The extension was proposed by Tools for Humanity, a contributor to Worldcoin, to address ongoing data privacy concerns. The project, co-created by OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, seeks to verify human identity online by scanning eyeballs and issuing WLD tokens as proof of humanity.

该扩展是由 Worldcoin 的贡献者 Tools for Humanity 提出的，旨在解决持续存在的数据隐私问题。该项目由 OpenAI 首席执行官 Sam Altman 共同创建，旨在通过扫描眼球并发行 WLD 代币作为人类证明来在线验证人类身份。

This system differentiates between humans and AI-powered agents, which is becoming increasingly crucial as AI becomes more prevalent online. According to Tools for Humanity, these technologies are necessary to maintain online integrity.

该系统区分了人类和人工智能驱动的代理，随着人工智能在网上变得越来越普遍，这一点变得越来越重要。根据 Tools for Humanity 的说法，这些技术对于维护在线完整性是必要的。

BayLDA is overseeing Worldcoin’s compliance with the GDPR. According to Tools for Humanity, they have cooperated with the German authority for over a year and taken several measures to protect biometric data.

BayLDA 正在监督 Worldcoin 遵守 GDPR 的情况。据Tools for Humanity称，他们已经与德国当局合作了一年多，并采取了多项措施来保护生物识别数据。

In March, Worldcoin introduced “Personal Custody,” which prevents new signups from storing and encrypting their biometric data on the company’s servers. As a result, only existing Wordlcoin users can request the deletion of their numeric iris codes. Additionally, the company implemented measures to prevent individuals under 18 from signing up.

三月份，Worldcoin 推出了“个人托管”，防止新注册者在公司服务器上存储和加密其生物识别数据。因此，只有现有的 Wordlcoin 用户可以请求删除其数字虹膜代码。此外，该公司还采取措施阻止 18 岁以下的个人注册。

The AEPD confirmed that Tools for Humanity has legally committed to not resuming operations in Spain until the end of the year or until the audit concludes. The findings of the audit will determine Worldcoin’s future operations in Spain.

AEPD 确认，Tools for Humanity 已合法承诺在年底或审计结束之前不会恢复在西班牙的运营。审计结果将决定世界币未来在西班牙的运营。

Despite the regulatory challenges, public support for Worldcoin in Spain appears to be strong. A recent survey by Tools for Humanity showed that over 80% of the 21,000 World ID users in Spain believe that technologies like World ID are crucial for distinguishing between humans and bots online. Nearly 90% of respondents said they would like to see the project return to Spain.

尽管面临监管挑战，西班牙公众对世界币的支持似乎很强劲。 Tools for Humanity 最近的一项调查显示，西班牙 21,000 名 World ID 用户中超过 80% 认为 World ID 等技术对于区分在线人类和机器人至关重要。近 90% 的受访者表示希望看到该项目重返西班牙。

“While it is encouraging that a significant majority of World ID users in Spain see the importance of our technology, we have voluntarily extended the pause of orb operations to ensure full compliance with data protection regulations,” said Thomas Scott, Chief Legal Officer of Tools for Humanity.

Tools 首席法务官托马斯·斯科特 (Thomas Scott) 表示：“西班牙绝大多数 World ID 用户都看到了我们技术的重要性，这令人鼓舞，但我们自愿延长了 orb 操作的暂停时间，以确保完全遵守数据保护法规。”为了人类。
