Why this matters
Published claims
Published claim · cited evidence
World and Tools for Humanity currently describe Orb verification as photographing a person's face and eyes, generating an iris code, sending encrypted verification data to the person's phone, deleting that data from the Orb, and distributing anonymized iris-code shares for uniqueness checks.
This is an attributed summary of current vendor product and privacy-policy statements as accessed July 29, 2026. It is not independent validation of the implementation, privacy properties, security, or compliance.
