After the investigation, the privacy watchdog confirmed that the Worldcoin Foundation and TFH collected information such as iris scans of South Koreans without a legal basis for processing, according to the announcement. PIPC said that almost 100,000 South Koreans downloaded Worldcoin’s application, with almost 30,000 using iris authentication. However, the privacy watchdog said the company failed to comply with the requirements of the PIPA.
