General Questions

What is Face Hunter?

Face Hunter is an advanced facial recognition search service that combines cutting-edge AI technology with human expertise to find where faces appear across the internet. Our service helps individuals protect their digital identity, find unauthorized uses of their images, and reconnect with people through facial matching.

How is Face Hunter different from other facial recognition services?

What sets Face Hunter apart is our hybrid approach that combines advanced AI with human verification. While other services rely solely on automated algorithms, our team of OSINT (Open Source Intelligence) specialists review and enhance every search, providing more accurate results and valuable context about how and where images are being used. This human element ensures you receive the most comprehensive and accurate results possible.

  • Protecting your digital identity
  • Monitoring your online presence
  • Verifying the authenticity of online profiles
  • Finding copyright infringements of images you own
How long does it take to get results?

The actual time may vary depending on the complexity of the search and the current volume of requests. You'll receive an email notification when your results are ready.

Technology

How does Face Hunter's facial recognition technology work?

Our facial recognition technology works through a multi-step process:

  1. Facial Analysis: Our AI analyzes over 1,000 facial data points to create a unique biometric signature of the face in your uploaded photo.
  2. Database Matching: This signature is compared against millions of images across our extensive database of web images, social media platforms, forums, and other online sources.
  3. Human Verification: Our OSINT specialists review the AI-generated matches, verify their accuracy, and provide context about the sources.
  4. Report Generation: A comprehensive report is created with all verified matches, their sources, and recommended actions.

Our technology is designed to recognize faces across different ages, lighting conditions, angles, and even with partial obstructions, providing a high degree of accuracy.

How accurate is Face Hunter's facial recognition?

Our facial recognition technology achieves a 99.7% accuracy rate for verified matches, significantly higher than fully automated systems. This exceptional accuracy is due to our unique combination of advanced AI algorithms and human verification by OSINT specialists.

Our system is designed to minimize false positives while maximizing true matches. The human verification step ensures that only genuine matches are included in your final report.

What types of photos work best for facial recognition?

For optimal results, we recommend uploading photos that are:

  • Clear and in focus
  • Well-lit, showing the face clearly
  • Frontal or slightly angled views of the face
  • Recent (though our technology can match across different ages)
  • Unobstructed (minimal covering of facial features)

That said, our technology is designed to work with a variety of photo qualities and conditions. We can often achieve good results even with older photos, different angles, or varying lighting conditions.

What is the scope of Face Hunter's database?

Our database includes billions of images from across the internet, including:

  • Major social media platforms
  • News websites and media archives
  • Forums and discussion boards
  • Public image repositories
  • Business and professional websites
  • Dating platforms
  • Various other public web sources

Our database is continuously updated to ensure comprehensive coverage of publicly available images. We only search publicly accessible sources and do not access private or restricted content.

Privacy & Security

How does Face Hunter protect my privacy?

We take privacy extremely seriously and have implemented multiple measures to protect your information:

  • All uploaded photos are processed securely and are not permanently stored in our system

  • We do not share your search information with third parties
  • Access to our systems is strictly controlled and monitored

For more details, please review our Privacy Policy.

Can I search for anyone's face?

While our technology can search for any face, we have strict ethical guidelines for its use. You should only upload photos of:

  • Yourself
  • People who have given you explicit consent to search for their face
  • Your minor children or dependents for whom you are the legal guardian
  • People for whom you have a legitimate legal interest in finding (such as missing relatives)

Using our service to stalk, harass, or invade the privacy of others is strictly prohibited and violates our Terms of Service.

What happens to my photos after the search?

Your uploaded photos are automatically deleted from our systems within 48 hours after your search is completed. We do not maintain a permanent database of user-uploaded photos.

During processing, your photos are stored securely with encryption and access controls to ensure they remain private and protected.

How can I remove my face from your database?

We do not maintain a permanent database of faces. We only search publicly available images across the internet. If you want to remove your images from the internet, we can help you identify where they appear and provide guidance on requesting removal from those specific sources.

If you believe your image is being used inappropriately online, our service can help you locate these instances so you can take appropriate action.

If you discover unauthorized uses of your image, we recommend the following steps:

  1. Document Everything: Save copies of the unauthorized uses, including screenshots and URLs.
  2. Contact the Website: Most websites have procedures for reporting unauthorized content. Look for "Contact," "Report," or "DMCA" links.
  3. Use Platform Tools: Social media platforms have specific tools for reporting unauthorized uses of your image.
  4. File DMCA Takedown Requests: If you own the copyright to the image, you can file a Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) takedown request.
  5. Contact Legal Support: For serious cases of identity theft or fraud, consider consulting with a legal professional.
