FaceCheck.ID is a face-search engine that matches an uploaded photo to images and profiles of a person online. Like other facial-recognition tools, removing your face limits how easily someone can identify you from a single picture.
Your face linked to photos and profiles across the web (facial-recognition search), often used to identify strangers.
Why removing yourself from FaceCheck.ID matters
On FaceCheck.ID, anyone can look you up — often for just a few dollars — and pull your face linked to photos and profiles across the web (facial-recognition search), often used to identify strangers. That is more than enough to target you with spam and phishing, fuel robocalls, or in the worst cases enable stalking, doxxing or identity theft. Removing your FaceCheck.ID listing cuts off one of the easiest public sources of that data about you.
Opting out of FaceCheck.ID is more involved than most opt-outs — it works via photo removal request, and removal times vary. It is free: under U.S. privacy laws FaceCheck.ID has to honor opt-out requests, so never pay a "removal" fee. Because FaceCheck.ID is one of the more stubborn sites to remove from, keep a copy of your request and be ready to follow up if your profile reappears.
How to opt out of FaceCheck.ID, step by step
Go to facecheck.id/Face-Search/RemoveMyPhotos.
Follow the prompts to identify the images of you to remove (you’ll need a reference photo).
Submit the removal request.
