The Privacy Difference
Both tools process your face photos on their servers. The difference is what happens next.
SwapDatFace: You can verify
Files auto-delete in 30 minutes. A background worker runs every ~14 minutes. The deletion log at /api/retention is cryptographically signed — anyone can verify that deletion is actually happening. The architecture page documents the entire stack. No AI training, no data selling, no passwords stored. You don't have to trust us — you can check.
FaceSwapper.ai: You have to trust them
Their privacy policy claims "immediate deletion" after download. But there is no way to verify this. No audit log. No retention evidence. No public infrastructure documentation. It's a marketing claim — and for a tool processing face photos with high-powered GPU infrastructure offered completely for free, that should give you pause.
Why is FaceSwapper.ai completely free?
AI face swap processing requires expensive GPU servers. FaceSwapper.ai offers "unlimited free swaps" — but their pricing page literally shows "not available now." A service burning GPU compute with no visible revenue model is almost certainly monetizing through data collection, advertising, or will introduce surprise pricing later. The most expensive things on the internet are the ones that claim to be free.
