US- and Germany-based technology company Tools For Humanity (TFH) has deleted all data it collected from Kenyans in 2023 for its Worldcoin cryptocurrency project, according to the Office of the Data Protection Commissioner (ODPC).
This follows a May 5, 2025, High Court order directing the firm, co-owned by OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, to permanently discard all Kenyans’ data that it collected with its eyeball-scanning orbs for more than four months without approval. The court gave the company seven days and directed the ODPC to supervise the deletion.
