Privacy policy

Last updated 21 October 2026

Your portrait stays on your device

5iveHead processes your photo in your web browser. Your portrait is not uploaded to our servers, is not stored by us and is not shared with anyone.

What we collect

This website does not use cookies or analytics, and we do not ask you to create an account. If you join a waiting list, we will store the email address you provide for the sole purpose of contacting you about 5iveHead.

Browser extension

The 5iveHead browser extension reads the portraits on the pages you visit so that it can process them on your device. Images are not sent to us. The extension stores your settings (the level you choose and whether it is on) in your browser's own sync storage. It does not record the pages you visit.

Video calls

When video calls are switched on, the extension processes your camera image on your device, on Google Meet, Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Webex and Whereby. Video is not recorded, stored or sent to us. You can switch this off from the extension's toolbar menu at any time.

5iveHead for Websites

If a website you visit uses our script, the portraits on that page are processed in your browser. Your browser downloads the script from 5iveHead and the model and code library described below. No images are sent to us.

Data stored in your browser

Some features keep information in your browser's local storage, for example certificates you have generated and your preferences. It stays on your device and can be cleared from your browser settings.

Third-party services

To detect faces, your browser downloads a model file from Google and a code library from jsDelivr when you use the tool. These requests do not include your photo.
