Golden Finance reported that Brazil’s national data protection agency ANPD issued a notice indicating that it is actively monitoring the activities of World (formerly Worldcoin) in Brazil. Given the risks of handling biometric data, the agency requested information on the tasks performed by the company and launched an investigation into the company's internal operations and the destination of private biometric data. World launched operations in Brazil last November and says more than 150,000 people have participated in the program.
