AI Photo Searcher – Search Photos by Face Feature Usage Agreement
This Agreement applies only to the "Search photos by face" feature in AI Photo Searcher.
1. Feature Overview
Once enabled, the album will provide a facial recognition entry. Visitors can use their device's camera or upload a reference photo to search for photos in the album containing their own face.2. Purpose and Scope
This feature is solely intended to help visitors quickly find photos of themselves in the album. It does not support access to or searches for unrelated photos.3. Face Recognition Service and Validity Period
Enabling this feature uses—and, if not already active, activates—the Face Recognition Service used to process facial feature data. The service status is shared and synchronized across other facial-recognition-based album features. Each feature remains separately controlled and subject to its own agreement; agreeing to this Agreement does not constitute agreement to any other feature.For users with an active membership ("Members"), the Face Recognition Service remains active for 30 days; for Non-members, it remains active for 7 days. If the album already contains photos, the period starts when the service is activated or reactivated. If the album is empty, the period starts when the first photo is uploaded. Enabling another feature while the service is active does not restart or extend the current period.
When the period expires, related facial feature data is automatically deleted in accordance with the Piufoto Privacy Policy, and the shared service status will appear as expired in all features that use it. You may reactivate the service. After activation or reactivation, the system may need time to process album photos before recognition results are fully available.
4. Authorization Responsibility
Before enabling the facial recognition feature, you must provide all notices and obtain the explicit, informed authorization required by applicable law from individuals appearing in the uploaded photos, including written consent where required. Event notices through posters, screens, or other appropriate means are recommended as an additional transparency measure.5. Privacy and Data Protection
Enabling this feature involves processing sensitive personal information, including facial feature data. For detailed rules on how Piufoto collects, uses, stores, protects, and deletes data, please refer to the Piufoto Privacy Policy.6. Email Collection and Use
If a visitor chooses to provide an email address while using AI Photo Searcher, we will use it only to send the related photos or videos to that address. Providing an email address does not constitute account registration. The email address will not be linked to other personal account data or used for other purposes.7. Important Notice
If you have not obtained the necessary authorization from the individuals in the photos, do not enable or use this feature. Any legal responsibility arising from unauthorized use of this feature will be your responsibility, and Piufoto will not be liable to the extent permitted by applicable law.8. Recognition Accuracy
Facial recognition results may vary due to photo quality, lighting, face angle, occlusion, or other factors. Piufoto does not guarantee that every individual will be accurately recognized or matched.9. User Control and Responsibility
You may disable "Search photos by face" at any time in the settings. Disabling this feature does not necessarily end or reset an active shared Face Recognition Service period if another separately enabled feature continues to use the service.You are responsible for the content you upload and your use of this feature. Piufoto is not liable, to the extent permitted by applicable law, for consequences arising from recognition errors, omissions, or usage disputes.
