The company emphasized that World ID’s identity verification process does not store users’ personal data. Instead, users retain full control over their biometric information, which TFH and Worldcoin claim is inaccessible even to the company itself. Worldcoin uses a proprietary device called the Orb to scan a person’s face and eyes and convert that data into a unique digital identity. This biometric data − which can include fingerprints, voice patterns, facial scans, iris images, or even DNA − is securely stored within the World App, not on the Orb device.
