 These days, yes. 

And more importantly, your fingerprints. 

Which is why I don't post my face or my hands on anything public.

 Do you use fingerprint or faceunlock on your phone?

 Pfft. No.
Even if I did, it's not phoning home to Google, so...

 But the apps in the backgroud collect the data for google ;)
Most people are not aware of this.

 Yes, but not on my phone. It's de-googled. More people need to do that.

 Also, at least in the US biometric data is not protected. Passwords still are. After I learned that, I stopped using fingerprint readers and have never used facial unlocking.
