Have you read the data consent form of this company?

For RM670, you are selling:

• High resolution images of your irises and eyes

• Images of your face in multiple spectrums, including 3D depth images

• Email, First name, Last name, Year of Birth, First letter of first name of both parents

This is way more personal data collected than your typical registrations.

1. In Worldcoin’s previous consent form, they even collected your heartbeat, breathing, and vital signs.

This was removed later because the company said it “never implemented vital sign detection techniques”.

Then why was this written in the first place?

2. More importantly, what are they doing with all this data?

In Worldcoin's Data Collection Agreement, it said that they’re training an AI to differentiate between humans and bots.

To do that, they need your irises as “proof of uniqueness and humanness”.

3. As of March, Worldcoin has collected the data of over 4.5 million people in 120 countries.

A member of the European parliament raised serious questions.

Iris scans are high risk becasue they can be used to identify individuals much more reliably than fingerprints.

4. Worlcoin has also been involved in many controversies.

- It was banned in Kenya in 2023

- It was fined US$829,000 by the South Korean personal information watchdog

- Hong Kong has directed it to cease operations

All of this is due to data collection and privacy concerns.

5. But MYEG has partnered with Worldcoin right?

Yes, MYEG signed an agreement with the organization in August.

But do you trust the government in collecting and storing your personal data safely?

6. In Worldcoin’s user information page,

it states that the organization relies on third parties (ie. MYEG) to process some of the data it collects.

This means that if MYEG does not protect your data properly, there will be breaches and improper access.

7. All of this data will then be sold on the dark web.

This was exactly what happened in 2022 with the mySPR system.

But now, instead of your myKad information, they have HD images of your irises, eyes, and 3D face.

8. With this information, scammers could do way more than producing a deepfake video.

And you're willing to sell this for RM670?

No thanks. 🙅‍♂️🙅‍♀️

Thanks for reading.

Follow us if you found this helpful.

If you've registered and are looking for ways to delete your data, Worldcoin has provided a step by step process on how to do so.

But as for your iris code, that can't be deleted.
