FacePrivacy

FacePrivacy is a deep search people tool that gets your face out of facial recognition databases and keep it out. FacePrivacy files and re-files removal requests with major facial recognition databases so your face is harder to find from a single photo.

FacePrivacy is a removal service aimed at a specific and growing problem: commercial facial recognition databases have already scraped public photos of most people and turned their faces into searchable numeric fingerprints. The company submits opt-out requests on a subscriber's behalf to face search engines it supports, including Clearview AI, PimEyes, FaceCheck.id, EyeMatch.ai, Corsight.ai, Lenso.ai and Social Catfish. It also handles the follow-up work, because those engines crawl the public web repeatedly and can re-index someone months after a successful removal. The process is deliberately thin on setup. A subscriber uploads two photos, one frontal and one from the side, through the mobile app camera or the web file picker, and the images are encrypted on arrival. From there FacePrivacy files deletion requests with the databases that offer a removal path and re-files as necessary for as long as the subscription stays active. A dashboard logs every removal and reply, so the record of what was requested and what came back lives in one place. Monthly progress reports summarise where things stand. The service leans on data protection law where it applies, citing GDPR, CCPA and other privacy frameworks as the basis for eligible requests. That makes it most relevant to people in jurisdictions with workable opt-out rights, and less useful where no legal removal path exists. It suits public-facing professionals, people who have dealt with stalking or doxxing, and anyone who would rather not be findable from a single photograph. It is not a blocker: the product does not prevent cameras from capturing a face or stop a new database from appearing. Compared with one-off manual opt-out forms or DIY approaches such as infrared glasses and anti-detection makeup, FacePrivacy trades a recurring fee for someone else handling paperwork and repeat filings. Two practical caveats shape the value. Coverage is limited to the databases the company supports, and eligibility and results vary by provider, so no removal is guaranteed. Cancelling stops re-filing, which means future re-indexing goes unaddressed. In practice the tool is a subscription to ongoing maintenance rather than a one-time erasure, and it should be judged on that basis.
