trust & responsible use
Built for lawful, consented biometric use.
Face recognition is powerful and sensitive. SightRadar is designed for teams who process biometric data with consent and a lawful basis — and our product, data handling, and Terms are built around that, not bolted on.
Consent is your responsibility — and we make it the default
You are the controller of the faces you index; we are the processor. Our Terms require that you have a lawful basis and the consent needed to process the biometric data you send. We build for that workflow, not around it.
We never train on your data
Your images and faceprints are used only to serve your own API calls. They are never used to train, fine-tune, or improve any model — yours or anyone else's.
Tenant isolation
Every collection is scoped to your account. Searches only ever match within your own collections; one customer can never see, search, or reach another customer's faces.
Deletion on request
Delete a collection and its faceprints are removed. We support data-subject deletion and export requests so you can honour GDPR Article 15/17 and BIPA obligations to the people in your data.
Plain, purpose-written legal terms
Our Terms and Privacy Policy are written specifically for a biometric processor — controller/processor split, biometric-consent obligations, prohibited uses — not generic SaaS boilerplate.
Prohibited uses, enforced
Mass or covert surveillance, tracking people without consent, and any unlawful use are prohibited by our Terms. This isn't a marketing line — it's a condition of using the API.
What we don't do
Being clear about the lines we won't cross is part of being trustworthy.
- We don't sell or share your data, and we don't build a cross-customer face database.
- We don't support covert surveillance, or identifying people without their consent.
- We don't train models on your images or faceprints.
- We don't publish made-up accuracy benchmarks or fake customer metrics — when we show numbers, they're measured and reproducible.
