This is such a cool angle for lead gen. Just the other day, I saw some kids using those Ray-Ban/Meta glasses through Instagram Live feeds to grab publicly available data from people almost in real time. It blew my mind. Sure, this kind of tech will probably go through a lot of scrutiny and for good reason, but whether it’s a consumer product or a custom internal tool, it’s happening. Excited to see where this goes.
In the FAQ you could explain how its not going to be a useful tool for stalkers because that's where my mind goes, maybe I watch too many DateLines.
I think you need a FAQ. In the FAQ you could explain how its not going to be a useful tool for stalkers because that's where my mind goes, maybe I watch too many DateLines.
Exactly - this won't be useful for stalkers. We don't crawl or index social media pictures.
Will add FAQ section.

You might want to look up Clearview AI, who also took publicly available images, performed biometric recognition on them and ended up with a €30.5 million fine: https://blog.barracuda.com/2024/10/23/clearview-ai-fine-gdpr...
I just did research on this. Clearview vs Introthem: - Clearview does photo-to-photo matching. We don't do that, and I don't think I will ever build that. - You have to provide the name, then we build the faces collection for analyzing at search time and delete it. - We don't retain any face collection once the search is done. I still don't know if I am breaking any laws, but here is how Introthem works.
How much have you investigated the legality of this? In the EU biometric data is 'special category data' under the GDPR [0] and can only be processed in very limited circumstances unless you have the consent of the data subject [1] [0] https://www.dataprotection.ie/en/organisations/know-your-obl...

Thanks for the info. We don't use any private data, only publicly available images. So it won't be a problem, in my opinion. I will contact my lawyer and double check this.

You should definitely find out if you are breaking any laws.
