These terms govern your use of the FaceGate website (the “Site”). The Site is operated by Matthew Haskins, ABN 86 371 005 483, based in Western Australia. The FaceGate mobile app is subject to the in-app notice, any applicable end-user terms, and any written agreement entered into for a pilot, evaluation, or commercial engagement.
The Site
The Site is provided to describe FaceGate, explain the product’s intended use, outline its privacy and trust posture, and allow prospective organisational customers to make an enquiry. The Site does not create user accounts, process payments, provide a self-service subscription, or itself operate the FaceGate mobile app.
Who FaceGate is for
FaceGate is designed for authorised organisational use, including schools, institutions, and business teams that manage photos for promotional, publicity, or external publication purposes. It is intended to support an organisation’s publication review workflow by helping identify whether a photo may contain a person marked as excluded from that type of publication.
Website enquiries
Submitting a contact form or sending an enquiry does not create a customer relationship, licence, pilot, service agreement, or obligation to supply the app. Any pilot, evaluation, paid engagement, onboarding, support arrangement, or commercial use must be agreed separately.
Acceptable use of the Site
You agree not to:
- Attempt to interfere with the Site’s operation, availability, or security.
- Use automated tools to scrape the Site or its API endpoints beyond ordinary browsing.
- Submit content through the contact form that is unlawful, misleading, harassing, malicious, or impersonates another person or organisation.
- Use the Site to transmit malware, spam, phishing content, or other harmful material.
Responsible use of FaceGate
FaceGate is intended to be used as a consent-aware publication screening tool. Any organisation using the app is responsible for its own legal basis, consent records, internal policies, device security, staff training, review workflow, and publication decisions.
An organisation using FaceGate should not use it:
- for covert surveillance or secret identification;
- for public-space monitoring;
- for law enforcement, investigation, or policing purposes;
- for access control, identity proofing, or eligibility decisions;
- to make fully automated decisions about a person without human review;
- to collect, retain, scan, or compare a person’s image without the required consent or other lawful authority;
- in a way that unlawfully discriminates against, harasses, targets, or profiles a person or group.
Operator responsibility
The operating organisation controls the people profiles, enrolment images, consent categories, scanned images, app settings, exports, audit logs, and final publication decisions. FaceGate can assist with screening and review, but it does not decide whether an organisation is legally permitted to hold an image, create a biometric template, publish a photo, or disclose material externally.
No guarantee of perfect classification
FaceGate uses statistical face-recognition technology and configurable threshold logic. Results can be affected by image quality, lighting, pose, occlusion, threshold settings, enrolment-photo quality, and other factors. FaceGate does not guarantee that every excluded person will be detected or that every detected person will be correctly identified. Operators must review results before publication.
No advice
Information on the Site, including the Privacy & Trust page and legal pages, is provided in good faith for general information. It is not legal, privacy, child-safety, compliance, technical, procurement, or risk-management advice for any particular organisation. Organisations should make their own assessment of whether FaceGate is appropriate for their use case.
Intellectual property
Unless otherwise stated, the Site’s text, design, layout, graphics, product names, branding, and other content are owned by or licensed to FaceGate. You may view the Site for ordinary business evaluation purposes, but you must not copy, reproduce, modify, publish, or reuse substantial parts of the Site without permission.
Third-party links
The Site may link to third-party websites or resources. Those links are provided for convenience only. FaceGate is not responsible for the content, availability, accuracy, or privacy practices of third-party websites.
Availability and changes
The Site may be updated, changed, suspended, or withdrawn at any time. Information about FaceGate may change as the product, security controls, app features, commercial terms, or deployment model evolve.
Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, FaceGate is not liable for any loss arising from your use of, or reliance on, the Site. The Site is provided for general product information and enquiry purposes only. It does not provide the FaceGate mobile app, process payments, create user accounts, or make publication decisions.
Where liability cannot be excluded, FaceGate’s liability is limited to AUD $100.
Nothing in these terms excludes, restricts, or modifies any consumer guarantee, statutory right, or remedy that cannot be excluded, restricted, or modified under applicable law, including the Australian Consumer Law.
Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of Western Australia. You and FaceGate submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Western Australia and the courts competent to hear appeals from them.
Changes to these terms
These terms may be updated from time to time. Material changes will be reflected in the “Last updated” date at the top of this page.
