The Buenos Aires consumer protection organization discovered unfair provisions included in the user's terms of service. We are talking about the “Terms of Use”, “Privacy Policy” and the “Data Processing Consent Form” that users accept when using the Worldcoin service. One of the conditions that violates the rights of users is the ability to suspend the provision of services to clients without a refund.
Accepted terms force users to waive collective claims. In addition, according to the documents, possible disputes must be resolved by arbitration in California, and this violates Argentine law, the Organization noted.
Deputy Minister of Commercial Development of Buenos Aires Ariel Aguilar said that the complexity of Worldcoin contracts and the lack of detailed information about them do not allow us to fully understand the activities of the crypto project. It is also confusing that the company has not made any public statements prohibiting minors from registering in the Worldcoin system. So Aguilar is concerned that minors might be involved in the project. Worldcoin faces a fine of more than $1 million for the alleged violations.
Earlier this year, similar questions regarding Worldcoin were raised by the Spanish Data Protection Agency (AEPD), prompting a Spanish court to order the project to cease operations.
