Privacy Policy
We believe trust is earned through transparency. Here's exactly how we handle data, images, and user privacy at faceapp — in plain language.
How We Handle Your Data
At faceapp, we handle personal data of any user in a lawful, transparent, and secure way. If you upload any image, it is used solely for the purpose of performing a face search and recognition.
Uploaded images and any related biometric data are deleted automatically after the search finishes or within a short, defined time. We do not store them permanently unless you explicitly allow it.
Core Promise: faceapp does not sell, rent, trade, or share user-uploaded images or biometric data with third parties. Uploaded images are not used for training machine learning models without explicit user consent.
What We Collect (and What We Don't)
✓ What We Collect
- Basic, non-personal usage data (feature usage and performance metrics)
- Email or account details — only if you voluntarily sign up
- Payment information via trusted third-party processors (we never store card details)
✕ What We Don't Collect
- Personal identity information
- Cross-website user tracking
- Stored uploaded images
- Data sold or shared with advertisers
- Biometric databases from user uploads
Our goal is simple: provide the service, not harvest your data. And we mean it.
How Images Are Processed
When you upload an image, here is exactly what happens — nothing more, nothing less:
Temporary Processing
Processed securely for the specific AI analysis or search request only.
Auto-Deleted
Automatically deleted after processing is complete. We don't need it, so we don't keep it.
Never Indexed
Never indexed, stored, reused, or added to any database — ever.
Your Ownership
Your images remain yours, always. Full stop.
GDPR & CCPA Compliance
faceapp complies with applicable data protection laws including GDPR and CCPA. This means you have the right to:
- Access your data at any time
- Request deletion of your data
- Know exactly how your data is handled
- Use our platform without forced data collection
