TFH Developer Portal Terms

Welcome to the developer portal (“Developer Portal”) for World App Miniapps Development (“Miniapps”) and APIs (“APIs”). These Terms between you (“Developers”) and Tools for Humanity Corporation, a Delaware corporation (collectively with our affiliates, "TFH", “we” or “us”) govern your use of and access to Miniapps and the World ID APIs and all of the associated functionality, content, and services we provide to you (the “Miniapps Services”). These Terms are incorporated into and governed by the Tools for Humanity User Terms and Conditions(“User Terms”). Definitions not defined in these terms are defined in the User Terms. In the event of a conflict between the User Terms and these Terms, these Terms shall prevail. Please read these Terms carefully before using or accessing the Developer Portal.

Please note these especially important parts of these Terms:

The Developer Portal and Miniapps Services do not allow for any offers to sell, or the solicitations of offers to buy, any securities or Digital Tokens. You agree you will not use the Developer Portal or Miniapps Services in connection with such activity. The Miniapps Services do not constitute investment advice.

By accepting these terms you are representing that you will not try to use the Developer Portal to sell or offer securities.

Further, you acknowledge that via the Developer Portal and Miniapps Services, TFH is providing a technology platform only connecting users and Developers. At no time does TFH transmit, store, take possession of, custody, or otherwise engage with any traditional or digital currency. TFH does not process transactions, act as a payment processor, or otherwise become involved in processing transactions. All transactions happen separately between users and Developers. All transactions and related liability exist between users and Developers only. TFH has no liability in regards to transactions between users and Developers, and TFH is unable to provide support in regards to transaction problems.

1. Scope of the Terms

1.1 Eligibility. In order to use the Developer Portal, you must comply with these Terms and all applicable laws. You cannot use the Developer Portal to conduct, promote, or help others to carry out any unlawful activity. In addition, you must meet all of the criteria referred to in TFH’s general User Terms. If you do not meet all of these requirements, you are not allowed to access or use the Developer Portal and, accordingly, we may restrict your ability to access or use the Developer Portal.

1.2 Availability. Webpages describing the Developer Portal and Miniapps Services are accessible worldwide, but this does not mean all Services or service features are lawful or available in your country. You must meet the eligibility requirements set forth in 1.1 to access and use the Developer Portal and Miniapps Services. You may not use VPN or similar tools for the purpose of circumventing any restrictions. It is your responsibility to make sure that your use of the Developer Portal and Miniapps Services are lawful where you use them. The Developer Portal and Miniapps Services are not available in all languages.

1.3 Updates. We may make changes to these Terms from time to time. You understand and agree that your continued use of the Developer Portal or Miniapps Services after we have made any such changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated Terms. You can stop using the Developer Portal or Miniapps Services at any time if you do not wish to adhere to these Terms. Because the Developer Portal and Miniapps Services are evolving over time, we may change or discontinue all or any part of the Developer Portal and Miniapps Services, at any time and without notice, at our sole discretion. We hold no liability for how these changes may affect access to and services provided by the Developer Portal and Miniapps Services.

2. Services

2.1 Account and Registration. In order to use the Developer Portal and the Miniapp Services you are required to create an account and register on the Developer Portal.

2.1.1 Entity Level Acceptance. If you are using the Developer Portal on behalf of an entity, you represent and warrant that you have authority to bind that entity to the Developer Terms and by accepting the Developer Terms, you are doing so on behalf of that entity (and all references to "you" in the Developer Terms refer to that entity). You further represent that neither you, nor the entity, or nor those who own or control the entity are the subject or target or any laws of sanctions programs administered by the U.S. Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control or are nationals of, ordinarily resident in, or organized under the laws of Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Russia, Sudan, Syria, or the Crimea, Luhansk, Donetsk, Kherson or Zaporizhzhia regions of Ukraine or any other jurisdiction that may become subject to comprehensive sanctions by the U.S government.

2.1.2 Registration. In order to access certain features of the Developer Portal you may be required to provide certain information (such as identification or contact details) as part of the registration process for the Developer Portal, or as part of your continued use of the APIs. Any registration information you give to TFH will always be accurate and up to date and you'll inform us promptly of any updates.

2.1.3 Developer Credentials. Developer credentials (such as passwords, keys, and client IDs) are intended to be used by you and identify your client. You will keep your credentials confidential and make reasonable efforts to prevent and discourage other clients from using your credentials.

2.2 Miniapps Services. Miniapps is a feature of World App that allows users to access a platform of mini applications that can be accessed (“Apps”) within World App. In this platform, users can discover, purchase, and use Apps created by you; and other users can act as developers of Apps and create, display, and monetize their apps on Miniapps. These Apps are displayed to users within World App. TFH has sole discretion of determining how Apps are presented to users within its platform.

2.2.1 Payments and Transactions related to Miniapps. World App users may pay for products or services related to the Miniapps viewable within World App using the Digital Tokens held in their self-custodial World App wallets.

With respect to any such transactions, you acknowledge that World ID and wallet are non-custodial services. TFH does not store or custody any World App user’s Digital Tokens, and does not transact, transmit, take possession of, or otherwise have any involvement with making any transactions. Digital Tokens are always stored and transmitted on their respective blockchain network. TFH does not guarantee that your transactions will process correctly.

A transaction in Miniapps can only occur between a user’s and your non-custodial wallet. TFH only connects users to third third-parties via the Miniapps platform and is not a party to any transactions. TFH is not able to assist with transaction-related problems. TFH has no role in processing payments and cannot govern refund or cancellation charges.

2.2.2 Third-Party Service. All products and services offered via Miniapps are offered and managed by you, a third-party to TFH. You are also responsible for any continued operation and maintenance for your miniapp viewbale within World App. We are not affiliated with you, and we cannot operate or maintain your miniapp.

You are solely responsible for the content, products, goods, or services made available via your miniapp. For any queries or disputes, World App users shall contact you directly.

2.2.3 App Development and Distribution. By submitting a miniapp to Miniapps, you grant TFH a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to display and promote, if TFH in its sole discretion elects to, your app.

All miniapps must comply with our App Guidelines, which are available on our website. TFH reserves the right to remove any miniapp that violates these guidelines. Also, you must ensure that your miniapp complies with all applicable laws and regulations, including data protection, financial regulatory, consumer protection, and criminal laws.

The ranking of miniapps within Minapps platform is determined by the popularity of the App. TFH reserves its right to highlight some miniapps that are more likely to be downloaded or purchased by Miniapps users.

2.2.4 Reputation Score. When users make transactions via Miniapps, we may allow them to provide feedback on their interaction with you as a Developer, including but not limited to a numerical score of how their interaction went, a ‘thumbs up’ or ‘thumbs down’ feedback score, and written commentary. Such feedback may be posted on your Developer profile for other users to see. We make no guarantees as to the accuracy of such feedback.

2.3 API services

2.3.1 Permitted Access. You will only access (or attempt to access) an API by the means described in the documentation of that API. If TFH assigns you developer credentials (e.g. client IDs), you must use them with the applicable APIs. You will not misrepresent or mask either your identity or your API client's identity when using the APIs or developer accounts.

2.3.2 API Limitations. TFH sets and enforces limits on your use of the APIs (e.g. limiting the number of API requests that you may make or the number of users you may serve), in our sole discretion. You agree to, and will not attempt to circumvent, such limitations documented with each API. Please contact TFH if you would like to use any API beyond these limits.

2.3.3 Security. The APIs are designed to help you enhance your websites and applications. You will use commercially reasonable efforts to protect user information collected by your API client, including personal data, from unauthorized access or use and will promptly report to your users any unauthorized access or use of such information to the extent required by applicable law.

2.3.4 Ownership. TFH does not acquire ownership in your API clients, and by using our APIs, you do not acquire ownership of any rights in our APIs or the data that is accessed through our APIs.

2.4 User Privacy and Terms. You will comply with all applicable privacy laws and regulations including those applying to personal data. You will provide and adhere to a privacy policy for your application built with the help of the Developer Portal that clearly and accurately describes to users of your application what user information you collect and how you use and share such information with third parties. You will provide terms and conditions for your application built with the help of the Developer Portal that clearly and accurately describes your obligations and the users’ rights and adhere to those terms.

2.5 Open Source Software. Some of the software required by or included in our Developer Portal may be offered under an open source license. Open source software licenses constitute separate written agreements. For certain APIs, open source software is listed in the documentation. To the limited extent the open source software license expressly supersedes the Developer Terms, the open source license instead sets forth your agreement with TFH for the applicable open source software.

2.6 Non-Exclusivity. The Developer Terms are non-exclusive. You acknowledge that TFH may develop products or services similar to the applications built with the Developer Portal or any other products or services.

3. Prohibitions

In addition to the prohibited uses stated in our User Terms, when using the Developer Portal, you may not (or allow those acting on your behalf to):

Sublicense an API for use by a third party. Consequently, you will not create an client that functions substantially the same as the APIs and offer it for use by third parties.
Promote or facilitate unlawful online gambling or disruptive commercial messages or advertisements.
Reverse engineer or attempt to extract the source code from any API or any related software, except to the extent that this restriction is expressly prohibited by applicable law.
Use the APIs for any activities where the use or failure of the APIs could lead to death, personal injury, or environmental damage (such as the operation of nuclear facilities, air traffic control, or life support systems).
Use the APIs to process or store any data that is subject to the International Traffic in Arms Regulations maintained by the U.S. Department of State.
Remove, obscure, or alter any TFH terms of service or any links to or notices of those terms.
Unless otherwise specified in writing by TFH, TFH does not intend use of the APIs to create obligations under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, as amended ("HIPAA"), and makes no representations that the APIs satisfy HIPAA requirements. If you are (or become) a "covered entity" or "business associate" as defined in HIPAA, you will not use the APIs for any purpose or in any manner involving transmitting protected health information to TFH unless you have received prior written consent to such use from TFH.

If your employer has rights to intellectual property that you create that includes your Contributions, you represent that you have received permission to make Contributions on behalf of that employer, that your employer has waived such rights for your Contributions, or that your employer has executed a separate contribution license agreement with TFH.

You represent that each of your Contributions is your original creation. You represent that your Contribution submissions include complete details of any third-party license or other restriction (including, but not limited to, related patents and trademarks) of which you are personally aware and which are associated with any part of Your Contributions.

You are not expected to provide support for Your Contributions, except to the extent You desire to provide support. You may provide support for free, for a fee, or not at all. Unless required by applicable law or agreed to in writing, You provide Your Contributions on an “AS IS” BASIS, WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, either express or implied, including, without limitation, any warranties or conditions of TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

Should You wish to submit work that is not Your original creation, You may submit it to TFH separately from any Contribution, identifying the complete details of its source and of any license or other restriction (including, but not limited to, related patents, trademarks, and license agreements) of which you are personally aware, and conspicuously marking the work as “Submitted on behalf of a third-party: [named here].”

You agree to notify TFH of any facts or circumstances of which you become aware that would make these representations inaccurate in any respect.

8.1.4 We are not liable to you or any third party for any modification or termination of the Developer Portal and Miniapps Services, or suspension or termination of your access to the Services.

8.2 LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

8.2.1 We do not exclude or limit our liability to you where it would be illegal to do so. In countries where the below types of exclusions are not allowed, we are responsible to you only for losses and damages that are a reasonably foreseeable result of our failure to use reasonable care and skill or our breach of our contract with you. This paragraph does not affect consumer rights that cannot be waived or limited by any contract or agreement.

8.2.2 To the extent permitted by law, you agree that under no circumstances will we or any of our officers, directors, employees, contractors, agents, affiliates, or subsidiaries (the “TFH Parties”) be liable to you for any indirect, punitive, incidental, special, consequential, or exemplary damages, including damages for loss of profits, goodwill, use, data, or other intangible property, whether such liability is asserted on the basis of tort or otherwise, and whether or not the TFH Parties have been advised of the possibility of such damages arising out of or in connection with: (a) your use or inability to use the Developer Portal and Miniapps Services, your Digital Tokens, or the World network; (b) inaccessibility or termination of the Developer Portal and Miniapps Services; (c) any hacking, tampering, unauthorized access to or alteration of any transaction or your data; (d) any transaction or agreement entered into by you with any third party through the Developer Portal and Miniapps Services; (e) any activities or communications of third parties; (f) the actions of Orb Operators, (g) any loss of the value of any Digital Tokens; (h) any Third-Party Content accessed on or through the Miniapps Services; (i) errors, mistakes, or inaccuracies in our Content; (j) personal injury or property damage of any nature whatsoever resulting from any access to or use of the Developer Portal and Miniapps Services; (k) viruses, trojan horses, or the like that may be transmitted to or through the Services; or (l) the defamatory, offensive, or unlawful conduct of any third party.

IF YOU ARE A CALIFORNIA RESIDENT, you waive the benefits and protections of California Civil Code § 1542, which provides: “[a] general release does not extend to claims that the creditor or releasing party does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release and that, if known by him or her, would have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor or released party.”

9. Suspension and Termination

9.1 Termination. You may stop using our Developer Portal at any time with or without notice. Further, if you want to terminate the Developer Terms, you must provide TFH with prior written notice and upon termination, cease your use of the applicable APIs.

9.3 Surviving Provisions. When the Developer Terms come to an end, those terms that by their nature are intended to continue indefinitely will continue to apply.

10. DISPUTE RESOLUTION, ARBITRATION AND WAIVER OF CLASS ACTION

10.1 PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING PARAGRAPHS CAREFULLY. THEY REQUIRE YOU TO SETTLE DISPUTES WITH US THROUGH INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION BEFORE A SOLE ARBITRATOR, AND NOT AS A MEMBER OF A CLASS ACTION. ARBITRATION PREVENTS YOU FROM SUING US IN COURT OR FROM HAVING A JURY TRIAL, THOUGH YOU MAY BRING A DISPUTE AGAINST US IN SMALL CLAIMS COURT IF YOU QUALIFY.

10.2 We will use our best efforts to resolve any potential disputes through informal, good faith negotiations. If a potential dispute arises, you must contact us by sending an email to legalnotice@toolsforhumanity.com so that we can attempt to resolve it without resorting to formal dispute resolution. If we aren’t able to reach an informal resolution within 60 days of your email, and you elect to bring a federal or state statutory claim, common law claim, claim based in contract, tort, fraud, misrepresentation or any other legal theory, or any other formal proceeding arising out of or relating to these Terms, the Content, or the Services (each, a “Dispute”), then you agree to resolve the Dispute through binding arbitration, on an individual basis according to the following terms (collectively, the “Arbitration Agreement”):

Arbitration will be conducted confidentially by a single arbitrator. The arbitrator will apply applicable statutes of limitation and all applicable law and will honor claims of privilege recognized by applicable law.

The Dispute will be solely and finally settled by arbitration administered by JAMS in accordance with the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules, unless the aggregated amount of the Dispute is $250,000 or more, in which case the JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules will apply. Arbitration will occur in San Francisco, California, unless you and we both agree to conduct it elsewhere. You agree that the federal and state courts in San Francisco, California are the proper forum for any appeals of an arbitration award or for court proceedings in the event that this Agreement’s binding arbitration clause is found to be unenforceable.

In any arbitration, regardless of its location, the parties will not seek discovery from each other, and the arbitrator will not allow parties to engage in discovery; rather, each party will disclose the evidence supporting their positions at a mutually agreeable time and date prior to the final arbitration hearing.

This Arbitration Agreement covers the enforceability, revocability, scope, and validity of the Arbitration Agreement or any portion of the Arbitration Agreement, and all other Disputes arising out of or related to the interpretation or applicability of the Arbitration Agreement; and all such matters will be decided by the arbitrator and not by a court or judge.

If the arbitrator or arbitration administrator imposes filing fees or other administrative costs on you, we will reimburse you, upon request, to the extent such fees or costs would exceed those that you would otherwise have to pay if you were proceeding instead in a court. We will also pay additional fees or costs if required to do so by the arbitration administrator's rules or applicable law.

At the request of either party, all arbitration proceedings will be conducted in utmost secrecy and, in such case, all documents, testimony, and records will be received, heard, and maintained by the arbitrator in secrecy under seal, available for inspection only by the parties, their respective attorneys, and their respective experts, consultants, or witnesses who have agreed, in advance and in writing, to receive all such information as confidential to be used solely for purposes of the arbitration.

Other than class procedures and remedies discussed in this Arbitration Agreement, the arbitrator has the authority to grant any remedy that would otherwise be available in court.

Any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

If the requirement to arbitrate or the prohibition against class actions and other Disputes brought on behalf of third parties contained in this Arbitration Agreement is found to be unenforceable, then only the unenforceable provisions will be deemed to have been removed from these Terms and all remaining obligations in these Terms shall continue in full force and effect.

10.3 30-Day Right to Opt Out. You have the right to opt out and not be bound by this Arbitration Agreement by sending an email from the address you used to set up your application to legalnotice@toolsforhumanity.com with the Subject Line: “ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER OPT-OUT. You must send your email within 30 days of agreeing to these Terms, otherwise you will be bound to arbitrate Disputes in accordance with the terms of this Arbitration Agreement. If you opt out of this Arbitration Agreement, we will also not be bound by the Arbitration Agreement.

10.4 Changes to this Arbitration Agreement. We will provide you 30 days’ notice of any changes to the section of these Terms titled “Dispute Resolution, Arbitration and Waiver of Class Action” by notice to you, and the changes will become effective 30 days after you receive notice from us. Changes to the Dispute Resolution, Arbitration and Waiver of Class Action section will otherwise apply prospectively only to Disputes that arise after the 30th day. If a court or arbitrator decides that the changes to this section are not enforceable or valid, then the changes will be severed from these Terms and the court or arbitrator will apply the terms of the first Arbitration Agreement in effect after you began using the Services. You may exercise your right to opt out of the new Arbitration Agreement terms by following the procedures set forth in the section above titled “30-Day Right to Opt Out.”

This Arbitration Agreement will survive the termination of these Terms, and your use of the Services.

Notwithstanding anything in this Arbitration Agreement to the contrary, either party may bring a lawsuit solely for injunctive relief to stop unauthorized use or abuse of the Services, or infringement of intellectual property rights (for example, trademark, trade secret, copyright, or patent rights) without first engaging in arbitration or the informal dispute resolution process described above.

11. General Provisions

11.1 No Waiver; Severability; Non-Assignability. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of our right to do so later. If a provision is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions of these Terms will remain in full effect and an enforceable term will be substituted reflecting our intent as closely as possible, to the extent permitted by applicable law. You may not assign any of your rights under these Terms, and any such attempt will be void. We may assign our rights to any of its affiliates or subsidiaries, or to any successor in interest of any business associated with the Services.

11.2 Entire Agreement. These Terms constitute the complete and exclusive statement of the agreement between you and us with respect to the Developer Portal and Miniapps Services and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous understandings, agreements, representations, and warranties, both written and oral, concerning the Developer Portal and Miniapps Services. Section headings in these Terms are for convenience only and will not govern the meaning or interpretation of any provision.

11.3 Governing Laws. These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, including any disputes arising out of or related to them. The governing law stated in this section will apply without regard to principles of conflict of laws.

Privacy and Data Usage

We collect personal data to provide you with our Services. Review our Privacy Policy for details on data collection and usage. If you’re a non-EEA resident, you consent to how We handle data.

Prohibited Uses

Subject to our Terms, We grant you a limited license to access and use our Services. We may cancel or suspend this at any time, for any reason. You may not use our Services for:

illegal activity, such as fraud, predatory or deceptive practices, or money laundering;
excessive use, hacking, circumventing (e.g., via VPN), or interfering with our Services;
intellectual property infringement;
harassment, threats, abuse, harm, or impersonation of others; and/or
any other use that would harm the Services or interfere with others’ enjoyment of them.

Overview of Services

World ID App and World App (“the Apps”) offer some or all of the following features, the availability of which varies by country.

World ID. World ID App and World App may provide interfaces for you to securely create, store, verify, and use your World ID to prove that you are a real and unique human without revealing who you are. The World Foundation stewards the World ID Protocol and its separate User Terms govern your access to World ID and other related services.

Usernames. Your World ID App and World App usernames must comply with the Username Policy.

Face Auth. Face Auth helps keep your World ID safe by making sure the person using a World ID is the same person who verified it at the Orb. If you delete your data, you may lose access to features that require Face Auth until you re-verify.

World ID Credentials. World ID Credentials enable you to securely store information from your identity documents on your phone. By using World ID Credentials, you represent that any documents you submit accurately and truthfully represent you, and acknowledge submitting false information may be a criminal offense under applicable law.

Selfie Check. You can choose to use a selfie photograph as an additional check on your World ID (Selfie Check). The photograph is stored locally on your device. The selfie is processed primarily to confirm that a live person is present (liveness), and as a medium-assurance signal to help detect duplicate or automated accounts. Only anonymized data is retained by Us.

Mini Apps. World ID App and World App enable you to access additional mini applications (“Mini Apps”) via the Mini Apps store. We provide a small number of our own Mini Apps (generally labeled “Built by Tools for Humanity” in the World Ecosystem and our Mini Apps store), but most Mini Apps are provided by third-party developers. By using Mini Apps, you agree that:

third-party Mini Apps may be subject to their own terms that you should read and accept;
including a Mini App in the Mini Apps store does not mean We endorse it;
We are not responsible for any problems with payments or transactions in a third-party Mini App: if something goes wrong, you’ll need to work it out with that third-party Mini App’s developer; and
while you may report any Mini App for violating the app store policies, We cannot provide refunds, support, or assistance with third-party Mini Apps.

Wallet. World App includes a self-custodial wallet (“Wallet”) for storing cryptocurrencies and other digital assets (collectively “Digital Tokens”). By using the Wallet, you agree that:

YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR PRIVATE KEY. IF YOU LOSE IT, YOU WILL PERMANENTLY LOSE ACCESS TO YOUR WALLET AND DIGITAL TOKENS;
We strongly recommend that you backup your private key. You may also export your private key any time, but for your safety, exporting keys may take up to 72 hours;
We are not a bank and do not provide investment or financial advice;
Blockchain transactions are irreversible;
We do not take control of or transmit your Digital Tokens at any time;
Your transactions may not be completed or may be delayed. We take no responsibility for the failure of any transaction to be confirmed or processed as expected; and
The Wallet supports certain ERC-20 tokens. You are responsible for confirming which tokens and networks are supported by the Wallet before you deposit tokens. WE ARE NOT ABLE TO RECOVER TOKENS IF YOU SEND UNSUPPORTED TOKENS TO YOUR WALLET, OR SEND TOKENS TO THE WRONG WALLET ADDRESS.

Third-Party Exchanges. World App offers an interface for users to buy, sell, and swap Digital Tokens via third-party exchanges (“Third-Party Exchanges”). By using the services of the Third-Party Exchanges, you agree that:

At no time are your Digital Tokens transferred to us;
We provide access to Third-Party Exchanges as a convenience, We do not control or endorse them, and We are not responsible for your transactions with them;
Third-Party Exchanges may provide access to high risk products and services, including Digital Tokens that may substantially fluctuate in value; and
Any transactions with Third-Party Exchanges are subject to their terms (which you should read and accept). These transactions do not involve Us, and We have no responsibility or liability for any such transactions.

USDC Vault. USDC Vault provides an interface for users to swap certain Digital Tokens using a non-custodial, permissionless, decentralized smart contract. By using this, you agree that:

We do not own or take custody over any Digital Tokens in the USDC Vault; and
We are not responsible for, nor a party to, these transactions.

Promotions

We may offer various claims, incentives, or referral rewards to users; for details check the Apps. We may modify or cancel these offers at any time.

Tools for Humanity Privacy Policy

Version 5.14

Effective July 25th 2026

Tools for Humanity Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how Tools for Humanity Corporation (“We”, “TFH”) processes your data when you use our websites, services and apps – such as World App, World ID and World Money, as may be updated from time to time (“Apps”) – (collectively, our “Services”). We’ve tried to keep this policy simple, and We never sell your personal information.

If you use any TFH Service or an Orb built by TFH to verify your World ID, the first section of this Privacy Policy is relevant to you. Other companies can build apps (“Compatible Applications”) and or Orbs to enable people to create, store, verify, or use their World ID.

World ID and Orb Verification

You can create and store a World ID by using a Compatible Application. Once you have created and stored your World ID, you can choose to verify your World ID.

Creating a World ID

You start by installing a Compatible Application to your phone. The Compatible Application will automatically create a random number, your World ID Secret. It lives on your mobile device and is never revealed to anyone.

Verifying a World ID

To verify your World ID, you then can make an appointment with an Orb. The Orb will: photograph your face and eyes; analyze the images to confirm you’re a unique human; generate an iris code; anonymize that iris code; encrypt the images, iris code, and anonymized data and send them to your phone; and permanently delete all of that data from the Orb. Learn more about the Orb.

Humanness

First, neural networks on the Orb assess the images to determine whether the person in the images is a living human to block deepfake images and photos on a screen that are trying to defraud the Orb.

Uniqueness

Second, we check that you have not already verified a World ID before – ensuring that you are unique. For that purpose, the Orb generates abstractions of the eye images to create an iris code. An iris code is a result of a mathematical representation of your eye images. The iris code is then split into cryptographic shares using a Secret Sharing scheme and distributed across independent nodes in a Multi-Party Computation network—this is called Anonymized Multi Party Computation or AMPC. Learn more about AMPC. After anonymization, uniqueness is verified by cryptographically comparing the AMPC shares against large databases of other AMPC shares, that cannot be linked to an individual, to see whether the new AMPC shares are in fact unique.

Age Assurance

In some verification or safety flows, TFH may use facial analysis or age-estimation technologies to assess whether a person appears to satisfy minimum age requirements or to detect potentially underage users. These systems are used solely for safety, legal compliance, and fraud prevention purposes and are not used to identify individuals.

Custody

The images, the iris code, and the AMPC shares are cryptographically signed and encrypted so they can be securely transmitted and stored on your phone. The data is then permanently deleted from the Orb. This means you alone have a copy of your personal data. Learn more about Personal Custody. You can use the images on your phone for face authentication. Face authentication matches a selfie of your face to the cryptographically signed images taken by the Orb to ensure that you are the rightful owner of the World ID. Face authentication also takes place fully on your phone. Learn more about Face Authentication.

How is the data anonymized?

The encryption into AMPC shares is random–even if you attempt to verify twice, the shares will be completely different each time. The special method by which AMPC shares are calculated allows that they can still be used to determine uniqueness, but nothing else. Storing the AMPC shares with universities and other parties that enjoy public trust ensures that AMPC shares will not be recombined or used for any other purpose besides the uniqueness test. This way, no personal data is retained or accessible by any World protocol contributor or participant, or any third party.

Using World ID

If your Orb verification was successful, the hash of your World ID secret (a random number) is added to the public list of verified World ID hashes without ever learning who you are, or what data was collected on the Orb. When you use your World ID, you prove from your phone that you have the World ID secret to one of the hashes in the Hash Tree without revealing which one. A Zero Knowledge Proof (ZKP) ensures that you don’t reveal which of the hashes you are relying on. Instead, the ZKP creates a nullifier hash for the specific action that can be best described as an action specific, disposable World ID. This allows you to use World ID anonymously. This means if you log into two different services using your World ID and those services try to identify you by sharing your nullifier hash, they cannot identify you. This does not solve or stop them identifying you through other means historically used by online platforms, but over time could help address the problem of online tracking. Learn more about ZKPs.

Personal Data We Collect And Use

We collect your personal data when you provide it to us and when you use our Services. In limited cases, We also receive personal data from third parties. As explained further below, you can access, correct, or delete your personal data at any time.

Personal data you provide us

In some circumstances, and depending on the App functionality, we may request data from you, or you may provide data to us on your own initiative. You can change your mind and modify or delete it at any time in the settings of our Apps.

You can add your phone number. This helps your contacts to find you and interact with you. You can also use your phone number to restore backups and rely on our referral system (see our partnership referrals).
You can sync your contacts. This allows you to see which of your contacts have added their phone number to their App so that you can more easily connect and interact with them. We do not store your contacts.
You can create a username, which you can change at any time. Your username is only linked to your app and not to your World ID.
You can share your geo-location with us, for instance, to find an Orb near you and help us understand where We should make Orbs available in the future.
You will be asked to enter your date of birth. Your date of birth is not retained or stored and is only used on your device to determine if you meet the minimum age requirements to use the Services.
If you contact us, for example for help or support, We will process messages and communication with you which can contain your personal data. If you provide feedback through surveys, We will use your feedback to improve our services.
If you are using chat functionalities We cannot see or access your chat messages. The messages and related metadata are end-to-end encrypted and We cannot decrypt or otherwise access them. We only route the encrypted messages through our server from the sender of a message to its recipient.
You can choose to allow us to analyze information about your interactions with our Apps to help us find bugs and improve our products.
You can choose to provide your data to improve World ID for everyone. To ensure that World ID is secure, reliable, and inclusive, the models powering it require training data from a diverse population. You can optionally share your Orb images and Face Authentication photos to help train those models.
You can add Credentials like a passport to some of our apps. We will check the validity of your credential, confirm your face matches the photograph on the credential and then store your credential’s data securely on your device. We never have access to the personal information contained on your credential.
You can choose to verify your World ID with a selfiephotograph (Selfie Check). The photograph is stored locally on your device. The selfie is processed to ensure uniqueness and humanness and only anonymized data is retained by TFH.
On certain third party platforms (e.g. video conferencing and video chat apps) you can choose to use our Deep Face features to help protect your accounts against impersonation, deepfakes, replay attacks, and other fraudulent activity. When enabled, facial images, selfies, short video captures, or related biometric verification data may be processed to assess humanness, liveness, and whether content appears to be authentic or synthetically generated. All biometric data is processed locally on your device and only anonymized data is retained by TFH.

Information We collect when you use our Services

When you use our Apps We collect information about your connection, such as your IP address, browser type, and related data to provide our Services and tailor them to the country you are in. We collect further device metadata like your screen resolution, operating system, carrier, language, memory, apps installed, battery level, and device number to ensure your app functions well on your device and complies with our Terms and Conditions. We also use this information to detect and prevent fraud.
We collect further information about your interactions with our Apps to ensure they work the way you expect (e.g., store your settings and your verification level to show you the appropriate interface).
The first time you open World App on your phone it randomly generates a crypto wallet including a wallet address for you. We process that wallet address to enable transactions involving your wallet. The corresponding private key to the wallet is only stored on your device and We never have access to it.
To comply with legal obligations and to provide an interface for blockchain transactions, we collect up to date copies of the state of public blockchains which can contain your previous, public transactions.
Our websites use Cookies. Cookies are small text files stored on your device that online services use to identify your device and/or preferences. We use functional Cookies to ensure a functioning website experience to you, and optional Cookies to analyze and improve how our websites are used. For a full list of the Cookies and your options to reject non-essential Cookies please see our Cookie Policy.

Information We may receive from third parties

If you need to use our support portal to verify your age, We request confirmation from a third party that has independently verified your age that you are at least the age of majority in your country. We do not receive any other information from this third party.
To prevent fraud and illicit activities on our Services, We receive information from third-party providers about devices and blockchain wallets linked to potential fraud and or illicit activity.

Sharing Personal Data

Within TFH, only team members who need to access or see personal data to perform their tasks can do so, and We have strict access controls in place to ensure this. We only outsource data processing to trusted and secure vendors and service providers. These service providers include certified cloud service providers, software as a service providers, and IT security firms. Please find here the complete list of our outsourced processors.

We may share your data to comply with legal requirements or respond to lawful requests from Law Enforcement authorities. If your actions violate our Terms and Conditions, or pose a risk to our or other’s rights, we may give your information to relevant authorities. We will share your personal information with your consent or at your direction.

TFH and the World ID protocol are designed to minimize the personal data shared with those parties. When you use World ID with third-party applications, websites, or services (“Relying Parties”), Relying Parties do not receive your face or eye images, iris code, World ID Secret, or other underlying biometric data. Instead, they receive cryptographic proofs or verification outputs generated using zero-knowledge proof technologies, that are designed to confirm specific facts — such as that you are a unique human, hold a valid credential, or have not previously performed a specific action — without revealing your identity or underlying biometric information. Depending on the context and applicable law, certain verification signals, identifiers, or related metadata may constitute personal data. Relying Parties are generally independent controllers of any personal data they process in connection with their own services, and their processing is governed by their respective privacy notices.

How Long We Keep Personal Data

Generally, We retain your personal data as follows:

personal data you provide us, We retain for as long as you use our Services, or until you decide to modify or delete it;
information We collect when you use our Services, We keep for no longer than two years. Your previous interactions with World App (that we require to keep the app functioning), We retain for the duration of your use of Services, or until you delete your account;
face authentication data is stored only on your device and remains there until you delete the World App or remove the data from your device.
wallet data is permanently published on the public blockchain, of which We frequently retrieve an updated copy; and
information We may receive from third parties (typically to prevent fraud and keep you and others safe while using our Services), We keep for one year unless you have violated our Terms then We keep it for five years.
We will automatically delete your App personal information – including your profile details, optional analytics data, push notification preferences, and any images donated for training – if your account remains inactive for a period of 24 months. Please note that you won't be additionally notified of this deletion.

If required by law, We will retain your personal data as necessary to comply with our legal and regulatory obligations, including fraud monitoring, detection, and prevention, as well as tax, accounting, and financial reporting obligations.

For detailed information regarding the specific legal grounds and purposes for our data processing activities, please refer to the chart below, which explains the data We collect, what We use it for, and how long it is retained.
