Since the Orbs began arriving on the streets of major cities around the world, lines of thousands of people have been waiting to scan their irises and access a handful of Worldcoin tokens. And along with that, privacy alarm bells went off.

However, the Worldcoin team alleges that the project is more private than any of the existing social networks. Even with the risk of scanning the iris. So, in theory, the alert for identity verification does not have so much room.
This is suggested by Tiago Sada, head of product, engineering and design at Tools For Humanity, the company that creates products for the Worldcoin project, one of the most controversial and controversial in recent months.
Sada assured that the cryptocurrency project does not use the biometric information for any purpose other than verifying the humanity of users. And that, in the Orbs, which are the iris scanners, no information is stored.
