Selfie Systems hands its searches to Spokeo
Searches on this domain are passed to Spokeo, which assembles the report and sells the subscription, and a removal filed with Spokeo is what clears a result found that way. The domain also serves people pages of its own, showing a person's name, street address and birth year, and names no source for them. Nothing on the site offers a removal, a contact address or a privacy policy.

Selfie Systems
- Hands off to Spokeo
- Posts its own people pages
- Redact removes listings automatically
Behind the promise of selfies and face scans, its search is Spokeo's. Enter a name and you arrive on Spokeo's results page, while its own subdomains carry people pages that make no mention of Spokeo. The domain promises selfies, contact details and facial recognition scans, and a visitor arriving from a search result has no way to tell that from the page. A result from its search is Spokeo's, so that's where its removal has to be filed. The people pages it posts itself name no source, and nothing on the site offers a way to take one down.

Each broker is scored 1 to 4 across the six dimensions above; higher means more exposure, and the overall gauge is their average.
Re-listing frequency is not established for this broker, so it is left out of the gauge rather than averaged in as a number nobody researched. The figure above is the average of the other five dimensions.
What each dimension means
- Data published: how much and how sensitive the personal data they put out.
- Re-listing frequency: how quickly you reappear after opting out.
- Complaint record: the volume and pattern of complaints across BBB, Trustpilot, and Sitejabber. No listing, or a listing with no reviews, counts against the broker.
- Opt-out friction: how hard the removal process is to complete.
- Operator opacity: how hidden the operating company and its principals are.
- Prior data incidents: history of breaches or leaks of the data they hold.
- What it presents as
selfies, contact details and facial recognition scans

Background
Background
Behind the promise of selfies and face scans, its search is Spokeo's. Enter a name and you arrive on Spokeo's results page, while its own subdomains carry people pages that make no mention of Spokeo.
The home page lists contact info, court records, dating profiles, net worth and divorce records, above a set of Prohibited Uses that rules out employment screening, harassment and sharing embarrassing photos. Its people pages give a name, a street address and a birth year with a facial recognition accuracy figure and teaser counts, and no source for any of it. Archived copies of the site go back to June 2021.
Like Profile Systems and Selfie Network, it runs from a server in Amsterdam on the same template and Google Analytics account, and its domain was registered in the same second as theirs, on January 23, 2020. No operator, privacy policy, contact address or removal form appears anywhere on it, and it's missing from the list of sites on Spokeo's California filing.
A search result here carries Spokeo's history, not this domain's. The Spokeo profile has the ownership, the complaint record and the litigation behind it. The people pages the site serves itself aren't attributed to anyone.

FAQ
Q & A
How do I remove my information from Selfie Systems?
A result from its search is Spokeo's record, and our Spokeo removal guide is the process that clears it. The people pages the site posts itself are another matter. They name no source, and the site has no removal form, contact address or privacy policy, so there's nobody on it to ask.
Is Selfie Systems a data broker?
It isn't on California's data-broker register, and it names no operator, so there's no filing to check it against. Its search belongs to Spokeo, and its own pages show a person's name, street address and birth year without saying where the data comes from.
Why does Selfie Systems exist?
To catch searches for people's photos and pass them to Spokeo. The people pages draw visitors from search engines, and the search takes them the rest of the way. Whether Spokeo pays for them isn't stated anywhere on the site.
