Privacy

Privacy-first by default

FaceCheap is positioned as a lightweight API with straightforward handling. The privacy promise should be simple, visible, and easy to understand before a user signs up.

No image storage by default

Images are intended to be processed for results, not kept as a product feature.

Clear integration model

Use API keys, documented limits, and direct request examples without extra onboarding friction.

Built for fast testing

Start with the free plan, validate your use case, and move up only if usage justifies it.

Docs stay close to the product

Users should be able to jump from the landing page to usable examples immediately.
