Full Privacy Policy

This privacy policy outlines the privacy practices for FaceDigger. This policy applies exclusively to information collected through this website and service. It will inform you about:

Information Collection, Use, and Sharing

FaceDigger does not collect or share any personally identifiable information about users.

FaceDigger does not log IP addresses of visitors. Uploaded photos are used solely to extract facial features for search purposes. The original photo is immediately discarded after feature extraction. A low-resolution thumbnail of the extracted face is deleted within 24 hours along with all cached search results. We do not index, publish, or share uploaded photos with any third parties.

About the FaceDigger Database

FaceDigger indexes and caches small, low-resolution cropped thumbnails and URL links from public, readily available web pages including public news sites, social media profiles, and blogs. We do not store additional information such as names, locations, or details about any activities or incidents. FaceDigger's AI system is specifically trained not to index or search images of children.

Cookies

We use cookies on this site. Cookies are small pieces of data stored on your device to help improve your experience and identify repeat visitors. Cookies help us enhance site functionality but do not track personally identifiable information.

Third-Party Links

This website may contain links to external sites. Please note that we are not responsible for the content or privacy practices of these sites. We encourage users to review the privacy policies of any site that collects personally identifiable information when leaving FaceDigger.

Security

We take extensive precautions to protect all information processed through our service. When you submit information via the website, it is protected both during transmission and at rest.

🔒 All data transmitted to us is secured via SSL encryption. You can verify this by checking for a lock icon in your browser's address bar and ensuring the URL begins with "https."

While we use encryption to protect data transmitted online, we also maintain security measures offline. We do not collect personally identifiable information beyond what is necessary for service functionality.

Processing of Image Data

FaceDigger provides an image similarity search service and is deeply committed to protecting user privacy in all aspects of image data handling. We do not create, store, or process biometric data used for unique identification of individuals. Our technology does not extract or generate facial biometric templates or identifiers that could be used for personal identification.

Our system employs similarity analysis to compare visual features of images and locate visually similar photos across the web. This process evaluates visual patterns only and does not perform personal identification or recognition. Search results link exclusively to publicly available web pages containing visually matched images. The system does not associate, infer, or connect these images with specific persons or personal identities.

Uploaded images are converted into non-invertible visual descriptors used solely for technical comparison purposes. These descriptors cannot be reverse-engineered to reconstruct the original image and are retained only as long as necessary for system functionality and security purposes, with automatic deletion within 24 hours.

User Control and Rights

Users may request immediate removal of specific images or search results from our database at any time through our takedown request system. We are committed to processing all legitimate removal requests promptly.
