FAQ

Face Detection questions.

Is face detection biometric processing?
Detection alone locates faces without identifying anyone, so it's usually lower risk. Once you create templates to identify or verify people, biometric rules apply.
Can I use detection to blur faces?
Yes — a common privacy pattern is detecting and blurring bystanders before storing footage.
Does it count as a request?
Yes, each call counts as one request against your plan.
