Terms of Service

Last updated: May 10, 2026

1. Acceptance

By downloading, installing, or using Unscanny ("the app", "the service"), you agree to these Terms of Service. If you do not agree, do not use the service.

2. Face Search — Permitted Use

The face search feature may only be used to search for yourself or for individuals who have given you explicit permission to search on their behalf. By initiating a face search, you represent and warrant that:

  • The photo you submit is of yourself, or
  • You have obtained the explicit consent of the person depicted in the photo

Searching for another person without their consent is strictly prohibited and may violate applicable laws including but not limited to the Illinois Biometric Information Privacy Act (BIPA), the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and various state and national privacy laws.

3. Prohibited Uses

You may not use Unscanny to:

  • Stalk, harass, or surveil any person
  • Identify individuals without their knowledge or consent
  • Collect or aggregate information about third parties
  • Violate any person's right to privacy
  • Use results in any discriminatory manner
  • Engage in doxxing or any form of targeted harassment
  • Violate any applicable local, national, or international law or regulation
  • Submit images containing minors for face search
  • Attempt to reverse-engineer, scrape, or abuse the service's APIs

4. Account Suspension

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate access for any device we reasonably believe is being used in violation of these terms, without prior notice. Abuse reports may be submitted to privacy@unscanny.com.

5. Accuracy of Results

Face search results are probabilistic and may be inaccurate. A match does not confirm identity. You must not make decisions affecting any person's rights, employment, housing, credit, or safety based solely on face search results. We make no warranty as to the accuracy, completeness, or reliability of any search result.

6. Third-Party Services

Face search results are provided by FaceCheck.id. We are not responsible for the accuracy, availability, or content of results provided by third-party services. Use of those results is subject to FaceCheck.id's own terms of service.

7. Disclaimer of Warranties

The service is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including but not limited to merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the service will be uninterrupted or error-free.

8. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, we shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of or inability to use the service, even if advised of the possibility of such damages. Our total liability for any claim shall not exceed the amount you paid us in the 12 months preceding the claim.

9. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Unscanny and its operators from any claims, damages, losses, or expenses (including legal fees) arising from your use of the service in violation of these terms or applicable law.

10. Governing Law

These terms are governed by and construed in accordance with applicable law. Users in the European Union retain all rights granted under EU consumer protection law regardless of any governing law clause.

11. Changes to Terms

We may update these terms at any time. Material changes will be communicated via in-app notice with reasonable advance notice. Continued use of the service after the effective date constitutes acceptance.
