Face ID Search

What Face ID Search is

Face ID Search takes a photo and searches for matching or similar faces across social media, dating platforms and public records, returning links, similarity ratings and a report.

What you can do with it

• Check whether a profile image appears elsewhere
• Look for reuse of your own photographs
• Review what public sources show for a face
• Produce a report documenting findings
• Support an impersonation or fraud complaint

Who it is for

• People verifying online identities
• Users checking misuse of their own photos
• Investigators working with consent

What to watch out for

• Using this on someone without their knowledge turns it into tracking, which can support harassment or stalking and may breach biometric privacy law
• Similarity scores are not identity proof; two different people can score highly
• Reports compiling public records about a person can be deeply invasive if shared
• Do not use it on minors, or to check up on partners, employees or people you merely suspect
