Privacy Policy

1. Summary

Face Insight is a client-side browser extension that performs facial landmark detection locally inside your browser using MediaPipe models shipped with the extension. We design the extension so processing happens on your device and we do not transmit images or extracted facial data to our servers by default.

2. Data we may process

The extension may handle the following types of data when you use face-detection features:

• Images you select or that appear on webpages: these are converted into an internal format for analysis.
• Derived facial landmarks and numeric metadata: e.g., x/y coordinates, blendshape arrays generated by the MediaPipe models.
• Local settings: small configuration options stored in the browser extension storage (e.g., detection preferences).

3. How we use data

All image processing and model inference occur locally inside an offscreen document within the extension (no external APIs are called by default). We use the processed data to:

• Detect faces, facial landmarks and generate results for visual overlays or user-facing features.
• Respect user preferences saved in browser storage to improve UX.

4. Do we share your data?

By default, no. The extension does not upload images, landmarks, or other derived biometric data to third-party servers.

5. Models and resources

The MediaPipe models and WebAssembly binaries required for detection are included with the extension or loaded from extension resources. These model files are not shared externally by the extension itself.

6. Security

We aim to follow best practices to protect local data. The extension stores only minimal configuration in the browser's extension storage. Images and derived data are processed in-memory in an offscreen document and not persisted unless you explicitly save or export them.

7. Retention

Temporary image data used for processing is kept only in memory and discarded after analysis. Persistent storage is only used for non-sensitive settings unless you explicitly save results to disk.

8. Third-party libraries

The extension depends on third-party libraries (for example, MediaPipe). Those libraries run locally. Please refer to the upstream library licenses and privacy statements for additional information:

• MediaPipe (Google)

9. Children

The extension is not intended for use by children under 16. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has used the extension to share personal data, contact us (see below).

10. Your rights

You may:

• Control what images you process with the extension.
• Remove the extension at any time via your browser's extension management UI.

11. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy occasionally; we will update the "Last updated" date at the top. Substantive changes will be communicated in the extension's release notes.
