FAQ
Photo Check FAQ
These are the most common questions people have before uploading a profile image for a free check.
What does the free scan actually tell me?
The free scan checks whether a face is clearly detectable in the uploaded image and estimates how usable that image may be as a clean biometric reference. It does not run a live search inside Clearview, PimEyes, or other private databases.
Do I need to pay before seeing any signal?
No. The scan is the low-friction first step. It gives you a risk readout before you decide whether to move into paid photo protection.
Will scanning the image make it public?
No. The scan flow is meant to evaluate the image you provide, not publish it. Public exposure happens when you post profile photos to external sites, not when you run the scan itself.
Should I protect a photo even if the scan is only moderate risk?
If the image will be widely public, used professionally, or reused across platforms, protecting it proactively can still make sense even if the first scan is not the worst-case result.
