Read guideOur editorial approach
FindFace publishes evidence-first guidance. We distinguish exact-image search from face matching, cite primary sources where they materially support safety or technical claims, and avoid claims that a similarity score confirms identity. Guides are reviewed when the product workflow, provider behavior, or authoritative safety guidance changes.
