How to remove yourself from FaceCheck.ID
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.
To remove yourself from FaceCheck.ID, submit the official opt-out request at facecheck.id (Photo removal request; takes about Varies, difficulty: Hard). Removal is free — you never have to pay a broker to take your listing down. Brokers re-scrape public records, so re-check in a few months or use monitoring that re-removes new listings automatically.

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.

Go to facecheck.id/Face-Search/RemoveMyPhotos.
