Tools for Humanity appealed ruling upholding suspension of financial compensation grants
On 6 March 2025, Tools for Humanity appealed the National Data Protection Authority (ANPD) ruling, which suspended the granting of financial compensation for any WorldID created through iris collection from data subjects in Brazil. The appeal included an improvement letter, which detailed technical solutions adopted in response to Decision Dispatch PR/ANPD No. 6/2025, aiming to revoke the preventive measure in force, along with a change in the legal basis for processing personal data, intending to resume offering financial benefits to data subjects who provided biometric data for WorldID.
