The French Data Protection Agency (CNIL) has conducted inspections at Worldcoin's Paris office due to concerns about the company's biometric data collection practices.

Worldcoin, co-founded by ChatGPT CEO Sam Altman, scans users' irises in exchange for a digital ID and the promise of free cryptocurrency.

The Worldcoin Foundation, incorporated in the Cayman Islands, has expressed its willingness to undergo the review and affirms its commitment to complying with regulatory requirements.
