We never mine your photos
We do not look at them, analyse them, sell them or share them. The only thing we store about you is your email address and how many photos you have protected.
Your face. Your rules.
We build one thing: a simple way to post a photo of yourself without giving face-recognition systems a permanent way to track you.
Why we started
Posting a photo shouldn't cost you your privacy.
Scanning a face costs almost nothing now. Undoing it is impossible — once your photo has been collected and matched, it stays matched. That imbalance is the problem we set out to fix.
So we built something anyone can use in under a minute, with no technical knowledge, that changes what those systems see before your photo ever goes online.
Our principles
What we promise
Three commitments that shape how we build, not just how we advertise.
We only build defence
The same techniques could be used to attack people. We use ours in one direction only — to protect the person in the picture.
We keep nothing
Your photo is never written to our hard drives. The protected copy sits in memory for 15 minutes so you can download it, then it is gone for good.
Our team
The people behind it
