Privacy at Fahz

Effective November 13, 2026. Written by a person, in plain English, and kept short on purpose.

Fahz turns photos of faces you love into a vase. That means you trust us with something personal, so here is exactly what we do with it. The short version: we use your photos to make your vase and show it off on its own page, then we delete them 30 days after it arrives, unless you ask us to keep them. We never sell your likeness, and your photos never leave us. The only thing we send out is your vase's design, to the partner who prints it. We are in the vase business, not the data business.

What we collect

Photos you upload. The face outline we trace from each photo. The design choices you make, like size and which face goes where, and the vase model we build from them. If you order, the usual order details: your name, shipping address, and email, which are handled through our checkout provider, Shopify. If you join the waitlist, your email address.

What we do with your photos

We trace each side profile, turn the outlines into a vase, and show it to you. If you order, we send the finished design file to our printing partner, Slant 3D, so they can print it and mail it to you. That file goes to them for one reason: your vase can't exist without your faces, because your faces are the vase. We also use faded images of the faces on your vase's online page, described below.

Some things we never do: we don't run facial recognition, we don't use your photos to train AI, we don't build profiles, and we don't sell or license your likeness.

Your vase's online page

Every Fahz gets its own page. You'll find the link in your order confirmation, and the code on the card in the box opens it too. It isn't listed anywhere or searchable, so only people with the card or the link can see it. On the page, your vase spins with its faces glowing softly around it, and anyone who visits can order a Fahz of their own.

For the first 30 days after your vase is delivered, the page shows the faces from your photos. After that, the faces turn into soft gray shapes, still in exactly the right places, and your photos are deleted. The page itself stays, so you can visit, share, and reorder your vase anytime.

Keep my photos (only if you ask)

If you'd like the real faces to stay on the page for good, tap "Keep my photos" from the link in your order confirmation. Only the person who placed the order can make that choice. If someone you gave a Fahz to wants the faces to stay, the page lets them copy a short note to send you.

Kept photos stay as long as you want them. Delete them anytime: just email us and a person will do it. If we haven't heard from you in three years, we delete them for you.

What we keep, and for how long

• Your photos and the face images made from them: deleted 30 days after your vase is delivered, unless you choose to keep them. If you design a vase and never order it, we delete everything 30 days after you last touched it.
• Your vase model, its design file, and the traced outlines: kept so your page, reorders, and future changes to your design keep working. Ask us anytime to delete them, and your page goes with them.
• Order records, like what you bought and where it shipped: kept the way any shop keeps them.

Our backups are built the same way: customer photos are excluded from them, so deleted means deleted.

Payments

Shopify handles checkout. We never see or store your card number.

Faces that are not yours

Most Fahz vases hold several faces, and usually someone in there didn't press the upload button. Please upload photos of people who would be glad to end up on your shelf. Photos of children are welcome when their grown-up is the one ordering; the ordering itself is for adults. If you're in someone's Fahz and aren't comfortable with its page, write to us and a person will help.

The boring but honest details

We keep basic records of how the design tool is used, such as which steps succeed or fail, so we can make it better. Those records don't contain your photos or your email.

Questions, requests, deletions

Email us at info@fahzface.com. You'll get an answer from an actual person, and if you ask us to delete something of yours, we will, promptly, and confirm it. Wherever you live, you can ask to see, correct, or delete what we hold about you.

Changes

If this policy changes, we'll update it here with a new date. We won't quietly make it worse.

Shopify

Our checkout runs on Shopify, which handles some of your information under its own rules. You can read them in Shopify's privacy policy (https://www.shopify.com/legal/privacy/app-users), and opt out of Shopify sharing your data for advertising here (https://shop.fahzface.com/pages/data-sharing-opt-out).

Fahz is made by Desbiens Design Research LLC. It's your face, in a vase.
