1. Overview of Our Architecture
FaceIn is built on a zero-knowledge architecture. This is the foundational principle of our Service and is critical to understanding how we handle your data:
- Biometric data (face geometry, fingerprint templates, iris scans) is processed and stored exclusively on your device. It is never transmitted to, received by, or accessible to FaceIn's servers.
- Your device's built-in biometric hardware and operating system (Apple Face ID / Touch ID, Android BiometricPrompt) handle all biometric matching locally.
- FaceIn's servers receive only cryptographic verification results — a signed assertion confirming that you successfully authenticated on your device. We never see, store, or process the underlying biometric data.
- This architecture means that even in the event of a breach of FaceIn's servers, no biometric data could be compromised, because we never possess it.
This is not a policy choice — it is an architectural constraint. Our systems are designed so that it is technically impossible for us to access your biometric data.
2. Information We Do NOT Collect
To be clear and unambiguous, FaceIn does not collect, store, transmit, receive, or process any of the following:
- Facial geometry or face maps (e.g., Face ID data, facial recognition templates)
- Fingerprint templates or fingerprint images (e.g., Touch ID data, fingerprint minutiae)
- Iris scans or retinal imagery
- Voiceprints or voice recognition data
- Any other biometric identifiers or biometric information as defined by the Illinois Biometric Information Privacy Act (BIPA), the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA/CPRA), the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), or any other applicable law
- Your passwords or credentials stored in the Password Vault feature (these are encrypted locally on your device with keys derived from your biometric authentication; we cannot access them)
- The content of websites or applications you authenticate with using FaceIn

5. Legal Bases for Processing (EEA/UK Users)
If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA), United Kingdom (UK), or Switzerland, we process your personal data on the following legal bases under the GDPR:
| Legal Basis | Data Processed | Purpose | |-------------|---------------|---------| | Contract Performance (Art. 6(1)(b)) | Account information, authentication data, payment data | Necessary to provide the Service you requested | | Legitimate Interests (Art. 6(1)(f)) | Device information, usage data, log data, crash reports | Service security, fraud prevention, analytics, product improvement | | Consent (Art. 6(1)(a)) | Marketing communications (if any), optional analytics | Where we specifically request your consent | | Legal Obligation (Art. 6(1)(c)) | Records required by tax, financial, or other laws | Compliance with applicable legal requirements |
Regarding biometric data: Because FaceIn's zero-knowledge architecture means we never collect, receive, or process biometric data on our servers, Article 9 of the GDPR (special categories of personal data) does not apply to FaceIn's server-side data processing. All biometric processing occurs locally on your device under your device operating system's privacy framework (Apple's LocalAuthentication, Android's BiometricPrompt), which are governed by the respective device manufacturer's privacy policies.
6. Biometric Data and Consent
6.1 How Biometric Authentication Works in FaceIn
When you use FaceIn to authenticate:
- You initiate authentication by tapping the FaceIn button on a website or within the App.
- Your device's operating system prompts you for biometric verification (Face ID, Touch ID, fingerprint, etc.) using your device's built-in biometric hardware.
- Biometric matching occurs entirely on your device. Your device's secure enclave (iOS) or Trusted Execution Environment (Android) compares your live biometric input against the stored template. This process is managed by Apple or Google, not by FaceIn.
- Your device sends a cryptographic assertion to FaceIn confirming that you were successfully verified. This assertion contains no biometric data — only a signed confirmation.
- FaceIn issues a JWT token to the requesting website confirming your identity.
At no point does FaceIn receive, transmit, store, or process your actual biometric data.
6.2 Consent
Before enabling biometric authentication, you will be presented with a clear disclosure explaining:
- That your device will use biometric authentication (face recognition, fingerprint)
- That biometric data remains on your device and is never sent to FaceIn
- That you can disable biometric authentication at any time through the App's settings or your device's settings
- That alternative authentication methods are available
Your use of biometric authentication with FaceIn is voluntary. You may disable biometric authentication at any time without losing access to your account.
6.3 Revocation of Consent
You may revoke your consent to biometric authentication at any time by:
- Disabling biometric login in the FaceIn App settings
- Removing FaceIn's access to biometrics in your device settings
- Deleting the FaceIn App (which removes all locally-stored biometric associations)
- Contacting us at mazy@facein.id to request account deletion
Upon revocation, no biometric processing will occur in connection with FaceIn, as all biometric data is stored and controlled by your device.
7. The FaceIn SDK: Data Flow for Developers
This section is for developers integrating the FaceIn SDK and their end users.
7.1 What Developers Receive
When a user authenticates on a developer's website using the FaceIn SDK, the developer receives only the following:
| Data | Description | |------|-------------| | JWT Token | A signed JSON Web Token containing: user identifier (pseudonymous), verification status (success/failure), authentication method used, confidence score, token expiration timestamp | | Verification Status | A boolean indicating whether the user successfully authenticated | | User Identifier | A pseudonymous, application-specific identifier — NOT the user's FaceIn account email or personal details |
7.2 What Developers Do NOT Receive
Developers integrating the FaceIn SDK never receive:
- Biometric data, biometric templates, or biometric identifiers of any kind
- The user's FaceIn account email or password
- The user's credentials stored in the FaceIn Password Vault
- Device biometric hardware information
- Other users' data or authentication results
7.3 Developer Obligations
Developers using the FaceIn SDK agree (under our Terms of Service) to:
- Maintain their own privacy policy disclosing the use of FaceIn for authentication
- Not attempt to reverse-engineer, de-anonymize, or correlate FaceIn user identifiers with biometric data
- Handle JWT tokens and user identifiers in compliance with applicable privacy laws
- Not use the SDK for surveillance, tracking, or any purpose other than user authentication
- Promptly delete user data upon user request in accordance with applicable law
8. Password Vault
8.1 How the Password Vault Works
FaceIn includes an optional Password Vault feature that allows you to store website credentials (usernames and passwords) and auto-fill them after biometric authentication.
- All credentials are encrypted locally on your device using AES-256 encryption with keys derived from your biometric authentication.
- Encrypted credential data may be stored in your device's secure keychain (iOS Keychain, Android Keystore) for persistence across app sessions.
- FaceIn's servers never receive, store, or have access to your stored credentials. The encryption keys are derived from device-local secrets that never leave your device.
- Auto-fill functionality operates through standard platform APIs (iOS AutoFill Credential Provider, Android Autofill Framework) and standard browser autofill mechanisms.
8.2 Credential Sync (If Applicable)
If we offer cross-device credential synchronization in the future:
- Credentials will be encrypted end-to-end before leaving your device
- FaceIn's servers will store only encrypted blobs that we cannot decrypt
- Decryption will only be possible on your authenticated devices
- We will update this Privacy Policy before enabling any sync functionality
9. Information Sharing and Disclosure
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We share information only in the following limited circumstances:
9.1 Service Providers
We engage trusted third-party service providers who process data on our behalf to help us operate the Service. These providers are contractually bound to use your data only for the purposes we specify and in accordance with this Privacy Policy. Categories of service providers include:
- Cloud Infrastructure: Hosting and data storage
- Payment Processing: Subscription billing and payment handling
- Analytics: Aggregated usage analytics (e.g., crash reporting, performance monitoring)
- Communication: Email delivery for transactional messages (e.g., account verification, billing receipts)
- Customer Support: Help desk and ticketing systems
9.2 Developers Using the FaceIn SDK
When you authenticate on a third-party website using FaceIn, we share your verification status and a pseudonymous user identifier with that website's developer, as described in Section 7. We do not share biometric data, personal account information, or stored credentials.
9.3 Legal Requirements
We may disclose your information if we believe in good faith that disclosure is necessary to:
- Comply with applicable law, regulation, legal process, or governmental request
- Enforce our Terms of Service or other agreements
- Protect the rights, property, or safety of FaceIn, our users, or the public
- Detect, prevent, or address fraud, security, or technical issues
9.4 Business Transfers
If FaceIn is involved in a merger, acquisition, reorganization, bankruptcy, or sale of assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will notify you via email and/or a prominent notice on our Service of any change in ownership or uses of your information, as well as any choices you may have regarding your information.
9.5 With Your Consent
We may share your information with third parties when you have given us explicit consent to do so.
10. Data Retention and Deletion

10.2 Biometric Data Retention
Because FaceIn does not collect or store biometric data, there is no biometric data to retain or delete on our servers. Biometric templates stored on your device are governed by your device manufacturer's retention policies (Apple, Google) and can be deleted through your device settings at any time.
The device public key and enrollment record that FaceIn does hold (which contain no biometric content) are deleted within 7 days of account deletion or device removal. Consistent with the destruction standard in the Illinois Biometric Information Privacy Act (BIPA) Section 15(a), the associated records are destroyed when the initial purpose for their collection has been satisfied (such as account or device deletion, within 7 days) or within three years of the individual's last interaction with us, whichever occurs first.
10.3 Account Deletion
You may request deletion of your account and associated data at any time by:
- Using the "Delete Account" feature in the FaceIn App settings
- Emailing mazy@facein.id with the subject line "Account Deletion Request"
Upon receiving a verified deletion request, we will:
- Delete the device public key and enrollment record within 7 days
- Delete or de-identify your remaining account information within 30 days
- Remove your data from active systems within 30 days
- Remove your data from backup systems within 90 days
- Retain only data required by law (e.g., billing records) for the legally mandated period
Deletion of your FaceIn account does not affect biometric data stored on your device, which remains under your control.
11. Data Security
We implement industry-standard technical and organizational measures to protect your information, including:
- Encryption in Transit: All data transmitted between your device and our servers is encrypted using TLS 1.2 or higher
- Encryption at Rest: All data stored on our servers is encrypted using AES-256

- Infrastructure Security: Our infrastructure is hosted on SOC 2-compliant cloud providers with physical security, redundancy, and disaster recovery
- Security Monitoring: Continuous monitoring for unauthorized access, anomalous activity, and potential threats
- Incident Response: Documented incident response procedures with defined notification timelines
- Regular Audits: Periodic security assessments and penetration testing
Despite these measures, no method of electronic transmission or storage is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security, but we are committed to protecting your information using commercially reasonable measures consistent with industry standards.
12. International Data Transfers
FaceIn is operated by WBX3 Holdings, Inc., a company incorporated in Delaware, United States. If you access the Service from outside the United States, your information may be transferred to, stored in, and processed in the United States or other countries where our service providers operate.
Important: Because biometric data never leaves your device, there is no international transfer of biometric data. Only account information, usage data, and authentication logs may be transferred internationally.
For transfers of personal data from the EEA, UK, or Switzerland to the United States, we rely on:
- Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) approved by the European Commission
- UK International Data Transfer Addendum where applicable
- Supplementary measures including encryption and access controls to ensure an adequate level of data protection
By using the Service, you consent to the transfer of your non-biometric information to the United States and other countries as described in this section.
13. Third-Party Services
The Service may contain links to or integrate with third-party websites, applications, or services that are not operated by FaceIn. This Privacy Policy does not apply to such third-party services. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party services you access.
When you authenticate on a third-party website using FaceIn, that website's own privacy policy governs how they handle the verification data they receive from FaceIn.
We currently use the following categories of third-party services:
| Category | Purpose | Data Shared | |----------|---------|-------------| | Cloud Hosting | Infrastructure and data storage | Encrypted account data, logs | | Payment Processing | Subscription billing | Billing address, payment method (tokenized) | | Analytics | Usage analytics and crash reporting | Anonymized/aggregated usage data, crash logs | | Email Services | Transactional email delivery | Email address, message content | | CDN | Content delivery for SDK | SDK files (no personal data) |

17. Illinois Residents (BIPA)
If you are a resident of Illinois, the Biometric Information Privacy Act ("BIPA") provides you with specific rights regarding biometric identifiers and biometric information.
17.1 FaceIn's BIPA Compliance Statement
FaceIn does not collect, capture, purchase, receive through trade, or otherwise obtain biometric identifiers or biometric information as those terms are defined under BIPA (740 ILCS 14/10). Specifically:
- FaceIn does not collect or store retina or iris scans, fingerprints, voiceprints, scans of hand or face geometry, or any other biometric identifiers.
- All biometric matching is performed locally on your device by your device's operating system and hardware. FaceIn's servers receive only a cryptographic verification result (success or failure) — never the underlying biometric data.
- Because FaceIn does not possess biometric identifiers or biometric information, BIPA's requirements regarding written consent, retention schedules, and destruction guidelines are addressed at the device operating system level (Apple, Google), not at the FaceIn application level.
17.2 Data Destruction
Although FaceIn does not store biometric data, we maintain a data destruction schedule for all personal information as described in Section 10. Biometric templates on your device can be deleted at any time through your device's settings.
17.3 Prohibition on Sale of Biometric Data
FaceIn does not and will not sell, lease, trade, or otherwise profit from any biometric identifiers or biometric information.
17.4 BIPA Contact
For any BIPA-related inquiries, please contact us at mazy@facein.id.
18. European Economic Area, United Kingdom, and Switzerland Residents (GDPR)
If you are located in the EEA, UK, or Switzerland, you have additional rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and equivalent local laws.
18.1 Data Controller
The data controller for information processed in connection with the Service is:
WBX3 Holdings, Inc. Email: mazy@facein.id
18.2 Your GDPR Rights
In addition to the rights listed in Section 15, you have the right to:
- Lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority (a list of EEA data protection authorities is available at https://edpb.europa.eu)
- Withdraw consent at any time where processing is based on consent, without affecting the lawfulness of processing before withdrawal
- Object to processing based on legitimate interests, including profiling
18.3 Data Protection Impact Assessment
Because FaceIn does not process biometric data on its servers, a Data Protection Impact Assessment (DPIA) for biometric processing is not required at the server level. However, we have conducted a DPIA for our overall data processing activities and maintain it as part of our compliance documentation.
18.4 Biometric Data Under the GDPR
Biometric data is classified as "special category data" under Article 9 of the GDPR when processed for the purpose of uniquely identifying a natural person. Because FaceIn's zero-knowledge architecture ensures that no biometric data is processed on our servers, Article 9 does not apply to FaceIn's server-side processing. The biometric processing that occurs on your device is governed by your device manufacturer's privacy policies and the biometric frameworks they provide (Apple's Face ID/Touch ID, Google's BiometricPrompt).
19. Other U.S. State Privacy Rights
Residents of Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Indiana, Iowa, Montana, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Oregon, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, and Virginia may have additional privacy rights under their respective state privacy laws. These rights generally include:
- The right to access, correct, and delete personal data
- The right to data portability
- The right to opt out of targeted advertising, sale of personal data, and certain profiling
- The right to appeal a denial of a privacy request
FaceIn does not sell personal data, engage in targeted advertising, or profile users for decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects. To exercise any rights under your state's privacy law, contact us at mazy@facein.id.
Texas Residents: Under the Texas Capture or Use of Biometric Identifier Act (Tex. Bus. & Com. Code § 503.001), FaceIn does not capture biometric identifiers. All biometric processing occurs on your device. FaceIn does not sell, lease, or disclose biometric identifiers.
