Welcome to Face Search AI. We value your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard the data you provide when using our app, especially with regard to face data.
By using Face Search AI, you consent to the collection and use of your data as described in this Privacy Policy.
Face Search AI collects the following personal information from users:
The app also includes a search history screen, which shows users the date, time, and total number of searches performed. This history is stored locally on the user's device and is not shared or transmitted to our servers. If the app is uninstalled, this history will be lost.
Face Search AI collects facial biometric data from photos uploaded by users. This includes facial features, landmarks, and unique identifiers necessary to perform image searches for similar faces across the internet. Specifically, the app analyzes aspects such as eye positioning, facial structure, and other identifiable facial characteristics.
The collected face data is used exclusively to conduct image searches to find similar images of the user's face across the internet. The process involves analyzing the uploaded photo to extract facial features, which are then used to search for matching images online. The face data is not used for any other purposes, such as profiling, marketing, or analytics.
Please note: We provide users with links to external websites where similar images are found. We do not retain or store the images or data from those external sites.
To enhance the efficiency and accuracy of our services, we utilize third-party services and APIs that assist in processing face data and improving search results. These services help streamline the image search process, ensuring a more reliable and user-friendly experience.
Additionally, we utilize Firebase as a third-party SDK to help with storage. Firebase does not collect facial biometric data but handles account-related information. Firebase is renowned for its robust security measures, ensuring that your account data is protected. You can review Firebase's privacy practices at Firebase Privacy Policy.

The face data is temporarily stored on secure AWS servers during the processing required to perform the search. Once the search is completed, the uploaded photos and extracted face data are permanently deleted from our servers. Face data is retained only for as long as necessary to provide the search service and is deleted immediately after the service is complete.
We use advanced processing techniques to enhance the accuracy and efficiency of our search functionalities, ensuring a seamless and reliable user experience.
We do not sell or rent face data to any third parties. However, we engage trusted third-party service providers to process face data solely for the purpose of conducting image searches.
