#Worldcoin has been at the center of several controversies in Chile. The National Consumer Service (#SERNAC ) has been investigating the company due to complaints about the collection of biometric data without proper consent from consumers.
One of the main concerns is that Worldcoin has been collecting iris data from people, including minors, without clearly informing them about how this data will be used ¹. This has raised concerns about consumer privacy and security.
In addition, SERNAC has detected at least three violations of the Consumer Law by Worldcoin, which could result in a fine of up to 900 UTM (about 60 million pesos).
In response to these complaints, Worldcoin has announced plans to expand its operations in Chile, which has raised even more concerns about the protection of personal data.
It is important to note that SERNAC has been working to protect consumer rights in Chile and has urged Worldcoin to work closely to address these concerns.
