Is face print safe?

Apple says on its website that privacy is among Apple's top priorities. Face ID data, including mathematical representations of the face, is encrypted and protected with a Secure Enclave. This data is refined and updated with the use of Face ID, to improve your experience, including upon successful authentication. Face ID also updates this data when a match is detected, but a passcode is entered after it to unlock the device.

Face ID data never leaves your device, and it's never backed up to iCloud or anywhere else. Only if you want to provide Face ID diagnostic data to AppleCare for support will this information be transferred from your device. Even then, the data is not automatically sent to Apple; You can first review the diagnostic data before sending it.
