Authorities in Argentina have become the latest government officials to probe cryptocurrency project Worldcoin over privacy concerns.<\/p>\n
In an Aug. 8 announcement, Argentina\u2019s Agency for Access to Public Information (AAIP) said it was investigating Worldcoin over its collection, storage and use of customer data to ensure it complies with security and privacy regulations. Worldcoin (WLD) launched its token project in July with the goal of verifying users through retinal scans, leading to concerns from many regarding privacy.<\/p>\n
\u201cCitizens have the right, whenever personal data is provided, to have clear and accessible information in relation to the assignment, use and purpose for which the data is collected and processed, especially with regard to sensitive data, such as biometric data,\u201d said the AAIP.<\/p>\n
