Everything we believe about your privacy, in fifteen plain-English points. Nothing marketing-speak, nothing legalese. Just what we do and what we don't.
No continuous video. No screenshots saved. No stored frames. Nothing on disk. Your live camera feed stays in your browser, it is never streamed, recorded, or uploaded. The only time a single frame leaves your device is when you explicitly ask a visual question (like "what do you see?"). That one frame is sent to the AI for that one answer, analyzed in seconds, and discarded immediately. Nothing is kept on our side.
FaceWTF uses face detection to locate your face and track movement, the same way your phone camera focuses on you. It does not use face recognition. It cannot identify who you are, compare you to anyone, or store any identity data. It sees a face. It never knows whose face.
Face Detection answers one question: is there a face on screen? It finds the position and basic movement of a face. Your phone does this every time you take a photo. It has no idea who you are. Face Recognition is completely different. It scans your face, builds a unique biometric map, compares it against a database, and identifies you by name. That is what airports and surveillance systems use. FaceWTF uses Face Detection only. We never identify you. We never could, even if we wanted to.
Voice is converted to text locally in your browser. Only the text is sent to the AI. Your voice is never recorded, uploaded, or stored.
Camera processing, face tracking, and voice recognition all run locally. Close the tab and everything is gone. There is nothing to recover because nothing was saved.
Press F12 on your keyboard. Open the Network tab in Chrome DevTools. You will see zero video or audio uploads. Don't trust us. Check it yourself.
We don't have your face, your voice, or your camera data. We can't hand over what we never collected. The only data we hold is your email and signup date.
FaceWTF uses the same AI providers that power thousands of apps. Text conversations are processed by these services under their privacy policies. Audio never leaves your browser, your voice is converted to text locally, and only the text is sent. The only time a camera frame is sent to the AI is when you explicitly ask a visual question (like "what do you see?"), one frame per question, analyzed once, discarded. You always know when it happens, because you just asked for it.
You can connect your own OpenAI or Anthropic API key. This way, conversations go directly from your browser to your provider. Your choice, your control, your cost.
You must explicitly enable it. The browser will ask for permission. FaceWTF cannot activate your camera without your consent. Your privacy is the default, not an option.
Since no facial data is ever captured or stored, there is nothing that could be used to generate a deepfake of you. No data means no risk.
Language learning, companionship, focus buddy, always having a cup of coffee with someone when you're home alone. FaceWTF adapts to how you need it.
Most companies get hacked and leak your photos, your voice, your biometrics. We can't leak any of that. You can't steal what was never there.
TikTok records full video of your face, your home, your children, uploads it to remote servers, and makes it permanently public. Instagram runs facial recognition on your photos to sell ads. You gave them your camera, microphone, location, and contacts without thinking twice. FaceWTF takes a single frame when you ask "what do you see?", analyzes it, and discards it immediately. No storage, no upload, no permanence. When a product is free, you are the product. Your data is what they sell. FaceWTF charges a subscription because our business is the entertainment service, not your data. If you have TikTok installed and you're worried about FaceWTF, you might want to rethink your priorities.
Don't have a camera? Don't want to use one? Don't want a microphone? You can type. But here's the difference: the chat box is invisible by default. Move your mouse to the bottom of the screen and it slides up. Type your message. Press enter. It disappears. If you stop typing for two seconds and your mouse leaves the area, it also disappears. Why? Because if you suddenly stopped typing, maybe somebody just walked behind you. We don't know who, but the safest thing is to make sure they can't read what you were about to send. And there is no chat history. What you typed is gone. Not stored locally, not sent to a server, not waiting in a database. Gone. Like a conversation in a private room with someone who has no memory.
