Question is how does the app got all the personal data of the miners?
After installing the app 'Pi Network' users has to register on the app before using it through the third party app called Yoti. They have to perform KYC verification on Pi Network to use it with any of their personal identification document.
Pi Network moderator said!
Apps doesn't collects any data and its impossible to leak any kind of data through the app the KYC process also conduct by a third party app. Yoti app verifies users data across (62) countries & territories but Vietnam is not available in the list.
Also Pi Network user said!
Pi Network neither receives nor collects any ID cards, kyc is done by Yoti which is a third party app and it only accepts passport from Vietnamese. Pi Network is out there. No matter how hard you try to attack.
Earlier this year Vietnamese have experienced major data leaked around 3,00,000 personal information.
