Facial recognition doesn't store your photo. It stores a vector — a few hundred numbers that describe the geometry of your face. Once that vector exists, anyone with a picture of you can search for every other picture of you. FacePrivacy removes you from facial recognition services — you send a photo, we submit the removal requests.
The demo below runs entirely in your browser. Nothing is uploaded and nothing is stored.
Nothing leaves your device. Nothing is stored. The face model runs inside this browser tab. Your photo, your camera frames and the faceprint computed from them are never uploaded, never sent to a server and never written to disk — this page is static HTML with no backend to receive them. Close the tab and they are gone. The only network request is the open-source model download (~6 MB) coming to you. Nothing is sent back. No cookies, no analytics, no storage.
An open-source face recognition model runs locally in this tab and returns the actual 128-number faceprint — the same kind of vector the databases store.
Demonstration only. Everything in the panel above is an educational demonstration of how facial recognition software turns a face into a vector. It shows what facial recognition services do — not what FacePrivacy does. FacePrivacy does not vectorize, encode or generate anything; it submits removal requests. The panel is not connected to any database or search service, and no result shown in it reflects any real record. Nothing you put into it is collected, transmitted, stored or used for any purpose — it exists only in your browser's memory until you close the tab. FacePrivacy's service is the removal of your face from facial recognition services.
Your face was scraped from a profile photo, a group shot, a news article, a friend's post. It was converted into a vector and filed away in indexes you never opted into — and unlike a leaked password, you can't rotate it.
Consumer face-search sites take one uploaded photo and return every indexed image that matches it — with the links attached.
Stalking, doxxing, impersonation and deepfakes all start the same way: with someone connecting your face to your name and your location.
Indexes re-scrape the open web on an ongoing basis. A face deleted today can be re-ingested next quarter from a photo you don't control.
You send a photo of your face. FacePrivacy submits the removal requests to facial recognition services on your behalf and keeps monitoring in case your face gets re-indexed. We don't vectorize anything. We don't generate anything. We don't build a database. Just removals, while you relax.
FacePrivacy's technology is the subject of a pending patent application.
Removal requests and monitoring span the major facial recognition and face-search providers, plus the people-search sites that feed them.
Send a photo. FacePrivacy submits the removal requests to facial recognition services and keeps watching for your face coming back. Nothing else.
