The German data protection authority, the Bavarian State Data Protection Supervisory Authority (BayLDA), has issued corrective measures regarding the processing of biometric data by the digital identity project World (formerly Worldcoin). The regulator announced that it has completed its investigation into World's compliance with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and ordered World to implement a GDPR-compliant data deletion procedure within one month of the ruling. In response, the World Foundation appealed the decision, asking the regulator to provide judicial clarification on whether the World network's privacy-enhancing technology (PET) meets the EU's legal definition of anonymization.
