Notes

Source detail pages are citation records, not standalone analysis. Related topic, entity, and archive links are editorial context and do not upgrade placeholder records into published claims.

One or more related archive entries remain research leads or placeholders. Source-backed writing is still required before those entries become published research.

Official regulator source for a provisional, Spain-specific measure issued March 6, 2024. It does not establish current availability, global legality, or later compliance.

Why this matters

Published claims

  • Published claim · cited evidence

    AEPD's March 6, 2024 precautionary measure required Tools for Humanity to stop collecting and processing special categories of personal data for Worldcoin in Spain and block data already collected for at most three months; AEPD later reported a legally binding commitment not to resume until the end of 2024 or, if applicable, until BayLDA adopted a final resolution.

    This claim records AEPD's own description of two 2024 Spain-specific actions. It does not establish current availability, global legal status, or the outcome of later proceedings.
