If you appear in a photo
Corpus compliant
Someone photographed you at an event and used SHAREFT to hand out the pictures. Here is what happens to your image — in plain words, in one page.
What we do with your image
When a photographer uploads their pictures, our system looks at each face and turns it into a string of numbers. That string is not a picture and cannot be turned back into one, but it identifies you, so the law treats it as sensitive. It exists so that someone at the event can take a selfie and get their own photos back without scrolling through hundreds of strangers.
Even if you never look for your photos
This happens for everyone in the photographs, including people who never visit this site. You are not asked first, because we have no way to reach you before the photographer uploads. That is precisely why this page exists, and why you can ask us to remove your data at any time.
Who is responsible
Two parties, together. The photographer chose to photograph the event and to publish the pictures. We chose the recognition technology, the settings, and how long things are kept. You can address either of us — and if you write to us, we will not redirect you to the photographer.
How long it lasts
Your facial template is kept for as long as the event's photographs are kept, and is deleted with them. If you take a selfie to find your pictures, that selfie is deleted the moment the search has run — it is never kept, and it is never shown to the photographer.
What you can ask for
You can ask what we hold about you, ask us to correct it, and ask us to delete it. You can object to your face being processed at all. You do not have to give a reason, and it is free. Write to {privacyEmail} and tell us which event you were at — the name or the date is enough for us to find it.
If you are not satisfied
You can complain to a data protection authority without going through us: ARTCI in Côte d'Ivoire, the supervisory authority where you live in the European Union, or your state's attorney general in the United States.
