I would be very careful with sending data here as the website has no Privacy Policy. We don't know how this data is being used.

This website however, present a Privacy Policy: https://selfie2anime.com/

I am not promoting one site or another. I did not read the PP of the selfie2anime.com either.

You can check the other implementations here (currently only two):

The public sidewalk has no privacy policy, either, and I show my face there all the time. Same goes for the airport, restaurants, every ATM, and every convenience store that takes videos of my face.

Face imagery isn’t secret.

Hmm, I just tried this with a few pictures, including one of mine. I forgot about all the "your selfies are being data-mined by the bad guys!" stories.

Ever heard of browser fingerprinting? If this site is doing it, now it has my IP, my browser fingerprint, and my face (as well as some friends' faces...). Search for my face on Facebook and they have my name too. Sell to marketer.

Spoiler: Clearview already did this. And possibly others we haven't yet heard of because they've been smart.
