How to remove yourself from Clearview AI
Clearview AI (clearview.ai) is a face search company. Face search companies scrape photos from the web, so anyone with a picture of you can find your other photos and profiles. Under GDPR they have to delete your data for free when you ask. HenryProtect handles that entirely for you, together with dozens of other companies, and keeps checking every week.
We do this for you. You don't have to do anything.
- Autopilot sends the request to Clearview AI, plus dozens of other data brokers that likely hold your data.
- We send the reminders, handle the replies and keep track of the one-month deadline.
- We rescan you every week. If your data comes back, we send a new request.
- All you do is enter your name, confirm your email and give us permission. Free during the beta.
What Clearview AI may hold about you: photos of your face.
Where to send the request: legal-requests@clearview.ai.

Prefer to do it yourself?
You can. It takes about five minutes for Clearview AI, plus the follow-ups if they don't answer.
- Fill in your name and email below. Use the email Clearview AI most likely has, such as your work email.
- Click Open in my email. The letter is ready, addressed to legal-requests@clearview.ai.
- Keep your sent email. Clearview AI must answer within one month.
- If they ask for a copy of your passport, you usually don't need to send one. Give only what they need to find you, and black out your ID number and photo.
- No answer after a month? Send a reminder, then complain to your data protection authority if needed.
Your letter
We do all the work for you, free
Enter your name and we find where your data shows up. Autopilot then sends the removal requests in your name, chases companies that don't answer, handles their replies and rescans you every week. You don't have to do a thing.
Questions
Can HenryProtect do this for me?
Yes, that's exactly what we do. Autopilot sends the request to Clearview AI and other data brokers in your name, follows up and rescans every week. You only enter your name and confirm your email.
Is it free to remove myself from Clearview AI?
Yes. Under GDPR, Clearview AI has to handle an erasure request free of charge.
How long does it take?
Companies must answer within one month (Article 12(3) GDPR). For complex requests they can extend by two more months, but they have to tell you within the first month.
What if Clearview AI doesn't answer?
Send a reminder after a month. If they still stay silent, you can complain to your data protection authority, for example the Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens in the Netherlands or the ICO in the UK.
Can Clearview AI add my data again later?
It can happen, because these companies keep collecting from new sources. That's why the letter also objects to further processing (Article 21). HenryProtect rescans every week and sends a new request if needed.
