At SocialFinder (https://socialfinder.ai), we are committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy outlines the types of information we collect, how we use and protect it, and your rights regarding your personal data.

1. About Our Service

SocialFinder is a search aggregation service that queries third-party APIs and search engines to return publicly available results. SocialFinder does not host, upload, store, or control any of the content that appears in search results. All search results originate from external third-party sources. We act solely as an intermediary that facilitates access to publicly available information.

2. Information We Collect

- Personal Data: When you create an account and purchase a package, we collect your name, email address, and payment information.
- Uploaded Photos: When you use our facial search service, you upload a photo which is processed through third-party facial recognition APIs. By uploading a photo, you represent that you have the legal right and consent to use that photo, including consent from the person depicted if it is not yourself.
- Non-Personal Data: We collect non-personal information through the use of web cookies, which helps us improve your experience on our website.
- IP Addresses: SocialFinder does not log the IP addresses of its visitors.

3. Use of Information

- Personal Data: The personal information you provide is used to process your transactions, manage your account, and deliver the services you have requested.
- Uploaded Photos: Photos are transmitted to third-party search APIs solely for the purpose of returning search results. SocialFinder does not use uploaded photos for any other purpose. Uploaded photos are not permanently retained by SocialFinder.
- Non-Personal Data: Web cookies are used to enhance your browsing experience, analyze site traffic, and improve our services.

4. Processing of Image Data

SocialFinder does not create, store, or process biometric data used for the unique identification of individuals. Our technology does not extract or generate facial biometric templates or identifiers. Our system uses similarity analysis to compare visual features of images and find visually similar photos. The process evaluates visual patterns only and does not perform personal identification or recognition. Search results are linked solely to publicly available web pages containing the matched images. Uploaded images are transformed into non-invertible visual descriptors used only for technical comparison. These descriptors cannot be used to reconstruct the original image.

5. Third-Party Services

SocialFinder uses third-party APIs and services to provide search results. When you use our service, your search queries (including uploaded photos) are processed by these third-party providers. SocialFinder does not control and is not responsible for the privacy practices or content of these third-party services. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party services that may be involved.

6. Data Sharing

We do not sell your personal data to third parties. Your information may be shared with third-party service providers solely as necessary to deliver the search services you have requested (e.g., transmitting a photo to a facial recognition API to return search results).

7. User Consent for Photo Uploads

By uploading a photo to SocialFinder, you confirm that you have obtained any required consent from the individual depicted in the photo. You agree not to upload photos of individuals without their consent for any unlawful purpose, including harassment, stalking, or invasion of privacy.

8. Children’s Privacy

SocialFinder does not knowingly collect any data from children under the age of 18. If we become aware that a child has provided us with personal information, we will take steps to delete such information from our records. SocialFinder’s AI is trained not to index or search children’s faces. Our systems are designed to exclude images of minors from search results.

9. Data Security

We implement appropriate security measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. All information is transmitted to us securely via SSL encryption. You can verify this by looking for a lock icon in your browser’s address bar and “https” at the beginning of the URL. While we use encryption to protect sensitive information transmitted online, please be aware that no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure.

10. Data Removal Requests

Users can request the removal of specific images or results from our search results at any time by submitting a request through our DMCA takedown form at https://socialfinder.ai/dmca. All removal requests are reviewed to verify the claim is legitimate before processing. Please note that removal from SocialFinder does not remove content from its original third-party source.

11. Content Disclaimer

All search results displayed by SocialFinder are sourced from third-party services and publicly available information. SocialFinder does not host, create, or control this content and is not responsible for its accuracy, legality, or availability. If you believe content in our search results infringes your rights, please visit our DMCA Policy at https://socialfinder.ai/dmca.

12. Updates to this Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make significant changes, we will notify you by updating the “Effective Date” at the top of this policy. Your continued use of SocialFinder after any changes to this policy constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
