How does FaceTrue's face search work?

FaceTrue utilizes advanced and efficient face recognition, retrieval algorithms and AI Agent technology to perform deep scans of global public web pages, social media, and news archives. Our index currently exceeds 4.2 billion records and is dynamically updated in real-time (excluding Mainland China). By matching high-dimensional vectors based on the uploaded facial features, the system helps you precisely identify where your own images appear on the internet.

What is a Digital Identity Audit?

A digital identity audit is a professional, in-depth report generated using multi-dimensional algorithms and AI Agent technology. The system performs intelligent verification and source correction to effectively avoid interference from incorrect information sources (such as associated images posted by non-original accounts), ultimately generating a detailed and authoritative personal digital identity report to help users manage their digital footprint and portrait sovereignty.

Is my uploaded image stored or shared?

FaceTrue follows a strict 'Minimum Retention' policy. To allow you to view results and download reports after a search, your uploaded photos and audit records are retained on encrypted servers for 14 days. Users can manually delete them immediately via the console records at any time. After 14 days, the system automatically performs a physical purge to ensure no privacy footprint remains.
