It will try to recognize you but you will not be in the database, so it will say match not found. Presumably nothing would be stored about you in that interaction

Given how prevalent the tracking of users is, anonymous or otherwise, I'd be extremely pessimistic about this assumption.

Same here. I don't want the system to even try to recognize me. No one's doing this stuff on site, which means that they'd be uploading my face to a cloud provider and using their system, which means they'd be doing the things people are having a problem with in the first place.

And no one would ever lie about such things for a profit.
