Kenya Higher Court deleted deleted biometric data to

In an important decision, the Supreme Court of Kenya ordered that the WorldCoin Foundation and its representatives have to "delete" all biometric data collected by citizens. This decision is followed by concerns about data protection and the safety of the information collected.

The decision of the court illustrates the growing challenges in the field of data protection and the need to protect personal data from citizens. At a time when biometric data such as fingerprints and facial recognition are increasingly used for different applications, it is crucial that the conditions and dealing with such sensitive information are transparent and legal.

The order of the court is seen as a significant step in the struggle for the rights of citizens in relation to their personal data. It shows that the judiciary in Kenya is willing to actively take measures to ensure the protection of privacy and ensure compliance with laws in the field of data protection.

This decision could also have far -reaching consequences for other organizations that collect or use similar data, and could create a precedent for future legal disputes in the field of technology data and data protection. In a world in which digital identity and personal data are becoming increasingly valuable, it is becoming increasingly important to create guidelines that promote both innovation and the protection of civil rights.
