How We Approach Privacy

We built MambaPanel with privacy as our top priority. Unlike other facial recognition services, we don't create permanent biometric profiles or store facial data that could be used to track you.

Our Core Promise

No biometric storage • Process in memory only • Automatic deletion • Links not images • Privacy first • Complete transparency

Think of us like a search engine for faces. When you search Google, they don't store your personal documents - they just help you find what's already public. That's exactly how we work, except with faces instead of text.

What makes us different: Most facial recognition systems build permanent databases of your facial features. We process everything temporarily and throw it away immediately after your search completes.

What We Actually Store

We get this question a lot, so let's be crystal clear about what happens to your data:

We NEVER Store These

  • Your facial features: No mathematical representations, measurements, or biometric templates that could identify you
  • Photos you upload: We process them in memory and delete them immediately after your search
  • Facial measurements: No geometric data, landmarks, or any way to recreate your face
  • Personal details: No race, religion, politics, health info, or anything sensitive about you
  • Found images: We show you where images are, but don't store copies of them

We DO Store These

  • Website links: Just the URLs where public images appear online (like bookmarks)
  • Your account info: Username, email, and subscription details so you can use our service
  • Search history: Basic logs in your dashboard (automatically deleted after 30 days)
  • System logs: Technical data to keep our service running and secure
  • Payment info: Billing details handled by secure payment processors like Stripe

The Big Difference

We're not building a surveillance system. Think of us like a search engine that finds publicly available photos, not a government database that tracks people. Every search is independent and temporary.

Legal Compliance

We follow all the major privacy laws including GDPR in Europe, CCPA in California, and similar regulations worldwide. Here's how we do it:

How We Follow The Law

  • Legal basis: We only process data when we have a legitimate reason and legal right to do so
  • Minimal data: We collect and use only what's absolutely necessary for our service
  • Clear purpose: Everything we do has a specific, legitimate purpose that we explain upfront
  • Privacy by design: We built privacy protection into our system from day one
  • Extra protection: Special safeguards for anything that could affect your privacy

Why we can do this legally:

  • Service delivery: We need to process data to provide the face search service you signed up for
  • Legitimate interests: Running and improving our service, balanced against your privacy rights
  • Your consent: When required, we ask for clear permission before doing certain things
  • Public information: We index publicly available content, similar to how search engines work

Biometric Laws

In places with strict biometric laws (like Illinois), our approach avoids most restrictions because we don't collect, store, or keep permanent biometric identifiers or templates.

Your Rights

You have complete control over your personal data. We make these rights easy to use through simple tools and direct contact:

See Your Data

View all personal information we have about you, including where it came from and why we use it.

Fix Mistakes

Correct any wrong information and add missing details to your account.

Delete Everything

Request complete deletion of your personal data when you have legal grounds to do so.

Limit Processing

Restrict how we use your data in specific situations while keeping basic records.

Take Your Data

Object to Processing

Stop us from using your data for legitimate interests or marketing purposes.

How We Protect Your Data

We use enterprise-grade security to protect your information throughout our entire system:

Technical Protection

  • Encrypted connections: All data transfers use the latest TLS 1.3 encryption with perfect forward secrecy
  • Encrypted storage: Sensitive data is encrypted on our servers using military-grade AES-256 encryption
  • Access controls: Multi-factor authentication and strict limits on who can access your data
  • Network security: Firewalls, intrusion detection, and isolated systems protect against attacks
  • 24/7 monitoring: Automated systems watch for threats and respond immediately

Human security:

  • Trained staff: Everyone who handles data gets regular privacy and security training
  • Legal agreements: All staff are legally bound to protect your data
  • Regular testing: Independent security experts test our systems for vulnerabilities
  • Incident response: Clear procedures for handling any security issues quickly
  • Continuous improvement: We constantly update our security as new threats emerge

Reality Check

We use the best security available, but no system is 100% perfect. We stay vigilant and keep improving our defenses against new threats as they develop.

Removing Your Data

We make it easy to control and remove your data. You have several options depending on what you want to delete:

Account Control

Delete search history, update personal info, or close your account completely through your dashboard.

Face Removal

Remove your face from our searchable database so no one can find it in future searches.

Automatic Cleanup

Our systems automatically remove old data and clean up broken links to keep everything current.

How to remove your face:

  1. Visit mambapanel.com/removeface
  2. Fill out the simple removal form

  4. We review and process your request within 5-10 business days
  5. Get confirmation when removal is complete

Our Removal Promise

We process all legitimate removal requests quickly and completely. Face removal is permanent and affects our entire system. It's completely free and we make it as simple as possible.

How long we keep different data:

  • Search history: Deleted automatically after 30 days
  • Account data: Kept while your account is active, deleted immediately when you close it
  • System logs: Kept for 20-120 days for security and troubleshooting
