Trust Center
Powerful technology. Built with principles.
How CatchAFace protects privacy, expects responsible use, and prevents misuse — while helping people stay informed.
Transparency
We explain how our technology works and what we search.
Privacy
Photos are encrypted, processed securely, and deleted after every search.
Human first
Every design decision starts with protecting people and their rights.
Responsible use
What CatchAFace is — and isn't — for
Built for moments where knowing what's already public helps you make a safer decision. Misuse is prohibited and can cost someone access.
Built for
- Dating safety — verify that profile photos are authentic
- Identity verification — confirm someone is using their own public images
- Reconnecting — find publicly available photos of yourself
- Protecting loved ones — check if photos are being misused
- Research & journalism — support reporting in the public interest
- Personal security — see where your public photos appear online
Not for
- Harassment or bullying
- Stalking or monitoring people without permission
- Employment screening
- Credit, lending, or financial decisions
- Housing decisions about tenants, buyers, or neighbors
- Mass surveillance or bulk tracking
Permission first
Search with permission. Always.
CatchAFace searches publicly indexed content only — and every search should start with a reason you'd be comfortable explaining.
You should search only
- Your own photos
- Photos you have permission to use
- Situations involving safety or a legitimate purpose
You should not search for
- Curiosity or entertainment
- Content involving others without consent
- Illegal or unethical purposes

Uploaded search photos are permanently deleted after processing.
Public web only
Only publicly indexed content is searched.
No search sales
Your search history is never sold or shared.
Privacy controls
Privacy controls stay in your hands.
Permission first
Every feature begins with permission.
