The Office of the Data Protection Commissioner (ODPC) has cautioned Kenyans against sharing their details with WorldCoin, a financial public utility that allows the public to easily access digital currencies without the need for a third party to facilitate the transactions.

The Commission pointed out that the platform processes sensitive data such as personal information and warned Kenyans to be careful. 

The public has also been advised to enquire about how their data will be used before accepting terms and conditions.

ODPC confirmed that it is conducting a thorough assessment of WorldCoin’s practices to ensure compliance with the law
