Worldcoin Expands ID Verification to Vienna
Worldcoin provides a digital identity verification system that uses biometric data. The World ID system is designed to offer secure and accessible identity verification without collecting excessive personal information. The key biometric data collected is an iris scan. It uniquely verifies an individual’s identity while ensuring their privacy.
Tools for Humanity is committed to complying with the stringent European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). The company consulted with the Austrian data protection authority to ensure compliance with local privacy and security standards. This compliance underscores Worldcoin’s dedication to protecting user data and maintaining transparency in its operations.
