Protect the person.
FaceVault helps authorised people review potentially relevant lookout information from an image enquiry, without publishing a searchable database of people.
Human review always A similarity result is a lead for careful review, never proof of identity.
The FaceVault approach
Information is released in a controlled path.
An authorised image enquiry can return qualified candidates. Unrelated people, low-scoring candidates, and the complete lookout database remain protected.
Image enquiry
The image is submitted through a controlled Telegram workflow and securely processed.
Candidate search
Only eligible lookout records meeting the configured similarity rule are considered.
Human review
Potential candidates are shared privately with clear warnings and supporting context.
What makes it different
Not a public people finder.
FaceVault does not expose a searchable list of names, images, or reasons. It is a privacy-preserving information-release mechanism for approved use cases.

Built-in safeguards
Careful by default. Accountable in practice.
01
Similarity is not identity
Scores describe visual similarity only. They do not establish identity, guilt, involvement, or wrongdoing.
02
Access stays controlled
Consent, approved accounts, server-side access checks, result limits, and audit history protect sensitive information.
03
People have rights
Correction, restriction, deletion, and removal requests are supported through a documented rights process.
Important distinctionEvery result is an investigative lead or candidate only. Human verification and appropriate supporting information are required. Do not take adverse action based solely on a similarity result.
