Privacy

Short version: your photos, the faces in them and the names you give never leave your computer.

What happens to your photos

When you choose a folder, your browser gives the app permission to read it. Photos are opened and analysed inside the browser tab. There is no server that receives them, and the app makes no network request containing photo data.

What is saved, and where

To make later visits fast, scan results are saved in your browser's own storage on your computer: the positions of faces, small face thumbnails, the numeric fingerprints used to compare faces and photos, the names you type, and your accuracy settings. Clearing the site's data in your browser settings removes all of it.

When files are changed

Scanning never changes a file. Renaming, moving, copying or deleting only happens after you choose the files, see a preview and confirm, and the browser asks separately for permission to edit the folder. Deleting is permanent because browsers cannot move files to the Trash.

What the website itself loads

The app downloads its own code and the face-recognition models from this site, and parts of its drawing engine and its interface font from Google's static file servers (gstatic.com). No analytics or advertising scripts are loaded. The site is served by Google Firebase Hosting, which, like any web host, sees standard request information such as your IP address.
