Privacy

Privacy policy

The short version: your uploaded photo is deleted after your search, we keep as little as possible, and you can erase your data at any time.

What we process

Your search photo. When you upload a photo, we send it to our face-search provider to find matches, then delete it after the search completes. We do not keep a copy, build a profile of your face, or add your photo to any index.

Search results. We store the URLs, site names, and match scores your search returned so you can view them later. These are links to public pages on other websites.

Payment records. If you unlock results, our payment processors (card or crypto) give us a transaction reference. We never see or store your card number or wallet keys.

Removal requests. If you ask us to remove data, we keep your email and the request details so we can act on it and prove we did.

Biometric data

Face search is, by nature, about faces. We use the photo you upload only to run the search you asked for, and we delete it afterwards. We do not create, store, or sell a persistent biometric identifier or face template of you. The results we store are links and scores, not face data.

What we never do

  • Sell or share your searches, photos, or results with advertisers.
  • Keep your uploaded photo after the search completes.
  • Build a searchable database of people's faces.
  • Require an account or track you across the web.

Your rights (GDPR and beyond)

Wherever you live, you can ask us to access, correct, or delete the data we hold about you — and if you are in the EU or UK, the GDPR gives you those rights by law, including the right to erasure, the right to object to processing, and the right to data portability.

To remove your face or data from our results, use the removal form. To exercise any other right, email [email protected]. We honor deletion requests within 72 hours.

Data retention

Uploaded photos are deleted after each search. Search results and payment references are kept so you can revisit what you paid for; you can ask us to delete them at any time. Removal requests and the blocklist entries they create are kept indefinitely — that's what makes the removal stick.

Contact

Questions, requests, or complaints: [email protected]. If you are in the EU or UK, you also have the right to complain to your local data protection authority.
