No facial recognition of children. Ever.
Most platforms scan kids’ faces to sort photos. We built ours to never do that — and here’s exactly how.
We sort by time, not by face.
There’s no facial recognition anywhere in the matching process. It works on something simple and reliable: when each photo was taken.
- 01
Mark the moment
During the shoot, the mobile app records the time window for each student.
- 02
Read the timestamps
Every photo carries the exact time it was taken (EXIF) from your camera.
- 03
Match by time
Photos line up with the right student by when they were taken — no face scan needed.
What our culling AI does — and doesn’t do.
Yes, there’s AI. It helps you pick keepers. No, it doesn’t recognize anyone — and it runs on your machine, not the cloud.
It does
- Detects whether a face is present, on your computer
- Scores sharpness, eyes-open, and gaze to pick keepers
- Deletes nothing and uploads nothing to analyze
It never
- Build a faceprint or identity template
- Recognize or match who a child is
- Send photos to the cloud for face analysis
Nothing for your district to inherit.
Because we never collect biometric data on students, there’s no biometric liability passed to the school — and the paperwork is handled.
- FERPA-ready master DPA, signed by magic link
- Per-state addenda across 50 states + DC + territories
- Per-student directory-information opt-out, enforced
- Every action audit logged
Built for where the rules are heading.
From April 2026, the updated COPPA rule treats facial-recognition data as personal information requiring verifiable parental consent before collecting it from children under 13. Platforms built on face-matching kids have to retrofit consent. We simply don’t collect it in the first place.
This isn’t legal advice — it’s the principle the product is built on.
Picture day shouldn’t mean scanning kids’ faces.
A modern platform that gets families their photos — without the biometrics.
