Clarity & insights

Face reading questions

No. Face reading (Mukha Samudrika Shastra) is a traditional and cultural practice. It does not measure character, intelligence, health or future events, and it must never be used to judge a person or to make decisions about them. Treat it as reflection and curiosity.

It is processed in memory on our server (location data in the photo is removed), sent to our analysis provider and never saved by us. The provider documents no way for us to delete it afterwards, so it may keep it according to its own policy. That is why we ask for your explicit consent first.

A face photo is sensitive personal data, so face readings are limited to people aged 18 or over, and only with their own photo.

Judging health or skin tone from a face can be misleading and unfair, so we leave those out.

The analysis needs a clear, well-lit, front-facing photo of one face. Remove sunglasses, masks and filters, and try natural light.
