South Korea's Personal Information Protection Commission (PIPC) has fined Worldcoin Foundation and Tools for Humanity (TFH) for violating the Personal Information Protection Act and decided to issue correction orders and make improvement recommendations.
Worldcoin Foundation was fined 725 million won (about $546,000) for improperly handling sensitive information and transferring it abroad. Tools for Humanity (TFH) was fined 379 million won (about $285,000) for violating regulations on the overseas transfer of personal data.
The investigation began in February due to complaints that Worldcoin collected biometric data without permission to provide cryptocurrency services. (ZDNet Korea)
