Worldcoin responded to the previous Hong Kong regulatory investigation. Worldcoin stated that its vision is to help people access and participate in the global digital economy while protecting user privacy. Worldcoin's iris scanning is not intended to obtain personal privacy and is only used to verify user identity. Therefore, any sensitive information used for verification will be immediately deleted by default.

Worldcoin welcomes regulatory agencies and consumers, including the Personal Data Privacy Commissioner's Office (PCPD), to inquire and seek information about its projects through various channels. The Worldcoin Foundation is committed to fully complying with all relevant laws and regulations governing the management of personal data processing in the Worldcoin operating market, including but not limited to the Personal Data (Privacy) Ordinance of Hong Kong.

Previously, according to Hong Kong media reports, the Hong Kong Privacy Commissioner's Office launched an investigation into WorldCoin's alleged illegal collection of customer iris data.
