Privacy

A passport photo is one of the most sensitive images you own. This page explains, without hedging, what happens to it.

Where your photo is processed

The camera stream, the face measurements, the pixel measurements and the final crop all run inside your browser, on your device. The face detection model is downloaded to your browser once and then runs locally. Your camera frames are not streamed to a server for analysis.

Working copies of your photos are kept in your browser's session storage so you can move between the review, checkout and download screens without losing them. Closing the tab clears them.

What we never do

  • We never use your photo to train AI models.
  • We never sell, rent or share your photo with advertisers or data brokers.
  • We never apply generative AI, beautification, background replacement or retouching to your face.
  • We never require an account, an email address or a phone number to take a photo.

Analytics

We use privacy-friendly, aggregate page analytics to understand which pages people visit. Analytics never receive your photo, your camera stream or any measurement taken from your face.

Payments

This deployment runs a demonstration checkout: no card details are collected and no payment is taken. In a live deployment, payment details would be handled entirely by the payment processor and would never touch our servers.

Your control

You can delete everything at any time by closing the tab or clearing your browser storage. Because we do not require an account, there is no profile to request or erase.
