The Office of the Data Protection Commissioner (ODPC) has confirmed the complete deletion of all biometric data collected from Kenyan citizens by Worldcoin's parent company, Tools for Humanity.

• The deletion was confirmed in a public notice dated January 20, 2026, following a compliance audit.
• The regulator stated that Worldcoin fully complied with government directives to delete iris scan data, which led to the suspension of Worldcoin's operations in 2023.
• This action sets a precedent for multinational digital firms in Kenya, reinforcing Section 25 of the Data Protection Act, 2019.
• Future data processing by Worldcoin, if operations resume, will be subject to strict legal compliance.
