Face scanning data is stored on password-protected servers hosted by Google and Amazon. The data is covered by the most stringent privacy regulations.
No. Neither Greiche & Scaff nor Topology can externally share your data, and we have strict controls internally over who can access a face scan, when, and for what reason.
