Facial recognition databases like Clearview AI, PimEyes, and others crawl the open web to index facial biometric data. When intimate images are hosted on publicly accessible platforms, facial recognition systems may index your biometric data from those images. This creates a secondary privacy harm beyond the intimate image itself. ScanErase's biometric scan finds every accessible hosting platform, so you can file your own removal requests and reduce the source data that facial recognition systems can crawl. For existing biometric records in facial recognition databases, ScanErase's exposure report supports CCPA and GDPR erasure request documentation.

Frequently asked questions

Can ScanErase remove me from Clearview AI or PimEyes?

ScanErase finds where your images are hosted so you can request removal yourself. For facial recognition database opt-outs, you can submit individual erasure requests to Clearview AI (LEA-only access) and PimEyes directly. Your ScanErase exposure report documentation supports these requests.

Does removing images from the internet remove my face from facial recognition databases?

Removing images removes them from future indexing but may not remove biometric records that were indexed before removal. Facial recognition database opt-out requests address existing records.
