The Biometrics was collected for face overlays.

Want to look like a lion? They scan your face, use their algorithm to stretch the lion face on you, and because you're moving, it's a compute intense thing so done more in the cloud than on-device.

But as it's off device biometrics, it falls into the Illinois BIPA category (only focused biometrics law in the USA) so they collect consent up front.
