Terms of Service

1. What Snoop is — and what it is not

Snoop is an information tool. You give us a photo of a face and we search publicly available images and profiles across the web to surface possible matches. We return links to information that is already public. We do not create, host, or control that information, and we do not vouch for it.

Snoop is not a background-check service, a consumer reporting agency, or an investigator. Results are probabilistic look-alike matches, not confirmed identities, and they may be incomplete, out of date, or wrong. You must independently verify anything before you act on it.

Snoop returns links to information that is already public. It does not give you names, home or contact details, or a dossier on anyone, and a visual match is a probability — never treat it as a confirmed identity.

You may NOT use Snoop, or anything you learn through it, to make decisions about a person’s eligibility for employment, housing, credit, insurance, education, or any similar purpose. Those uses are prohibited.

2. You are responsible — we just provide information

You must be at least 18 years old to use Snoop.

Snoop provides a search tool. What you search for, and what you do with the results, is entirely your decision and your responsibility. You — not Snoop — are solely liable for your use of the service and for any consequences of that use.

By using Snoop you confirm that your use is lawful in your location and for your purpose, and you agree to indemnify and hold Snoop harmless from any claim, loss, or liability arising out of your searches, your uploads, or your use of the results.

3. Acceptable use — no stalking, harassment, or surveillance

Snoop exists for safety, reconnection, and verification. It is strictly forbidden to use it to harm, frighten, or control another person. You agree NOT to use Snoop to:

• Stalk or cyberstalk anyone, or track, monitor, or surveil a person’s whereabouts or activities.
• Harass, intimidate, threaten, defame, blackmail, extort, or dox any person, or to contact someone who has asked not to be contacted.
• Locate, identify, or expose a person who has a reasonable expectation of privacy or who does not want to be found — including survivors of domestic violence, abuse, or trafficking.
• Build a database or profile of a person, or enable any pattern of unwanted attention.
• Target a minor, or use Snoop to find or contact a child.
• Facilitate discrimination, or any of the eligibility decisions listed in Section 1.
• Scrape or harvest Snoop, access it through bots or other automated means, or resell, sublicense, or reverse-engineer the service.

If you are in danger or believe a crime has occurred, contact your local authorities. Snoop is not an emergency service.

4. Photos you upload — rights, consent, and public context

Every time you submit an image, you represent and warrant that:

• You own the photo or otherwise have the legal right to use and submit it.
• You have any permission or consent required by law to search that person’s face.
• The photo was taken lawfully and depicts a person in a public or otherwise lawful context — not obtained through hacking, hidden recording, or trespass.
• The image is not intimate, sexual, or private imagery, is not non-consensual intimate imagery ("revenge porn"), and does not depict a minor.

You keep ownership of what you upload. You grant Snoop only the limited licence needed to process your search (and, where you explicitly choose to use the community-help or follow-a-face features, to store and process that image for those features). Do not upload anything you do not have the right to upload.

5. Legal compliance is your responsibility

Laws about face recognition, biometrics, photographs, and personal data vary widely and change often. Before you use Snoop you are responsible for determining that your use is legal where you are and where the subject is.

This includes, without limitation, biometric-privacy laws (such as the Illinois Biometric Information Privacy Act (BIPA), Texas CUBI, and Washington’s biometric law), data-protection laws (such as the EU/UK GDPR and the CCPA/CPRA), and anti-stalking, anti-harassment, anti-voyeurism, and consent laws. Some jurisdictions restrict or prohibit facial-recognition searches entirely.

Requests about specific people — for example a request to find, remove, or stop processing someone — must be made through lawful channels. We honour valid removal and data requests (see Section 7), and we cooperate with lawful legal process. We may refuse, suspend, or report any use we believe is unlawful or abusive.

Snoop is not offered to users in Illinois, and may be unavailable in other places that restrict facial-recognition or biometric searches. You may not use Snoop from — or to search a person located in — a place where it is prohibited, and you may not attempt to bypass these limits.

6. No warranty; limitation of liability

Snoop is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranty of any kind, including accuracy, completeness, or fitness for a particular purpose. Matches are estimates and may be incorrect.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Snoop and its operators are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages, or for any loss arising from your use of — or inability to use — the service or the results. Where liability cannot be excluded, it is limited to the amount you paid us, if any, in the preceding 12 months.

7. Removing results & data requests

If you appear in Snoop’s results and want them gone, you can have them suppressed — see our Remove my results page, file through faceprivacy.ai, or email [email protected]. If you followed a face, you can stop following it at any time to delete the stored image; community submissions can be removed on request.

8. Changes & contact

We may update these Terms; continued use after an update means you accept the change. Questions about these Terms can go to [email protected].
