Terms of Service
Please read these terms before using Face Privacy.
By using our website and services, you agree to these Terms of Service.
Important: What Face Privacy Is — and Is Not
Face Privacy is a privacy rights compliance and data removal service. We help you exercise your existing privacy rights by submitting opt-out and removal requests to third-party facial recognition databases.
Face Privacy is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice, legal representation, or act as your attorney. We are not a credit monitoring service. We are not an identity theft protection or identity restoration service. Our service is limited to submitting data removal and opt-out requests to facial recognition databases where such processes are available.
1. Acceptance of Terms
By accessing or using Face Privacy (“we”, “us”, “our”), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use our services.
2. Description of Service
Face Privacy is a privacy rights compliance and data removal service. We help users exercise their existing privacy rights by submitting opt-out and removal requests to third-party facial recognition databases where such processes are available. We do not guarantee removal from every database or from public articles and public databases. Face Privacy does not provide legal advice, legal representation, credit monitoring, or identity restoration services.
3. Scope of Removal — What We Can and Cannot Do
Face Privacy submits opt-out and removal requests to third-party facial recognition databases (such as PimEyes, Precheck.ai, FaceCheck.ID, Lenso.ai, Clearview AI, and others) where such processes are made available by those operators. Where a database accepts and processes our request on your behalf, the result is typically the removal or de-listing of your face from that specific database’s search index.
We are not the host of the underlying photos. We do not control the websites, social media platforms, news outlets, blogs, public records, or any other source where the original photo of you is hosted. Face-search engines index publicly available images from across the internet; removing a face from a face-search index does not remove the underlying photo from the website that originally posted it.
Please take into account that we are not liable for the origin of any photo of you, nor are we able to take a photo down from the website it was posted on. All questions and liabilities about the origin, purpose, lawfulness, and data collection practices of any third-party website hosting an image of you must be directed to the operator of that website. If you wish to have an underlying photo removed from a source website, that request must be made to the operator of the source website, not to Face Privacy.
We do not guarantee removal from every database, source website, news article, public record, archive, or cached copy. Removal results vary by jurisdiction, by the policies and practices of each individual face-search engine, and by the legal basis available to you for each specific request. Some databases may decline a request, may re-index a removed face after subsequent crawls, or may not respond at all.
4. Eligibility
You must be at least 18 years of age, or the person you are submitting requests for must be at least 18 years of age, to use our services. By using Face Privacy, you represent that you meet this requirement.
5. Your Responsibilities
You agree to provide accurate information, to use the service only for lawful purposes, and not to misuse or attempt to gain unauthorized access to our systems or data. You are responsible for keeping your account credentials secure. You represent that any photograph or document you upload either depicts you, or that you have the legal right to submit removal requests on behalf of the person depicted.
6. Intellectual Property
Face Privacy’s name, logo, and all related materials are our property or our licensors’. You may not use them without our prior written permission.
7. Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Face Privacy shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages arising from your use of our services. Our total liability shall not exceed the amount you paid us in the twelve months preceding the claim.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing: Face Privacy is not liable for the existence, origin, lawfulness, or content of any photograph of you that appears on any third-party website, in any third-party database, in any face-search engine’s index, or in any other location outside Face Privacy’s direct control. Face Privacy is not liable for the actions, policies, response times, or removal decisions of any third-party face-search engine, data broker, search engine, social media platform, or other website.
8. Changes
We may update these Terms from time to time. We will post the updated Terms on this page and update the “Last updated” date. Continued use of our services after changes constitutes acceptance of the new Terms.
