Processing of Image Data

We provide an image-similarity search service and are committed to protecting user privacy in how image data is handled. We do not create, store, or process biometric data used for the unique identification of individuals. Our technology does not extract or generate facial biometric templates or identifiers.

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

Uploaded images are transformed into non-invertible visual descriptors used only for technical comparison. These descriptors cannot be used to reconstruct the original image and are retained only as needed for system functionality and security.

User Control

Users can request an instant removal of specific images or results from our database at any time through our takedown request form.
