The Information Commissioner's Office said it will be making inquiries into OpenAI CEO Sam Altman's project, Worldcoin.

The Information Commissioner’s Office, the UK’s data protection regulator, said it would inquire into OpenAI CEO Sam Altman’s project, Worldcoin.

Worldcoin's launch raises questions about user data protection. Organizations must perform a Data Protection Impact Assessment if they are involved in processing high-risk biometric data, according to the ICO. Should the risks identified be too high to mitigate, consultation with the ICO becomes mandatory.

“Organizations also need to have a clear lawful basis to process personal data. Where they are relying on consent, this needs to be freely given and capable of being withdrawn without detriment,” the ICO said.Worldcoin said it complies with local laws, including Europe’s General Data Protection Regulation incorporated into UK law following Brexit.

According to Worldcoin’s website FAQs, “Worldcoin never collects any biometric data from any user without that user’s explicit consent.” The page also states that no personal data needs to be shared for a user to download its World App, and any personal data shared with Worldcoin is encrypted in transit and at rest.
