Your photo never leaves your browser

When you select a photo, it is read by your own browser into a local object URL and passed to a face-landmark model that was downloaded to your device. The measurement runs there. No network request carries the image, and this site has no server-side component that could receive one.

Nothing is saved. Close or refresh the tab and the photo and the result are gone. There is no history, no result link and no way to retrieve a past scan - including for us.

The face-landmark runtime and model file are fetched from public CDNs (jsDelivr and Google's model host) the first time you run a test. Those providers see a request for a file from your IP address, the same as any other web asset. They do not receive your photo - the file travels to you, not the other way round.

None that identifies you. No account, no email, no sign-up, no result storage. Standard web-server request logs may exist at the hosting provider; they contain no facial data because no facial data is ever transmitted.

Facial geometry is treated as biometric data under laws including Illinois BIPA, Texas CUBI and the GDPR. Those regimes turn on the collection, storage or transfer of biometric identifiers. This site performs none of those: the measurement happens on your device and the derived numbers are never transmitted or retained.

This site is intended for adults. It is not designed for children, and appearance-scoring tools are a bad fit for anyone still forming a relationship with their own face - which is the honest reason for the limit, rather than a legal one.
