It does seem a bit lacking additional guidance. I take it that the term "database" implies you can retrieve the scraped photos, like searching for real photos taken from CCTV footage or the internet using a photo of someone's face.
But building a model that can do facial recognition, and scraping a bunch of photos of faces to train that model I think would be fine.
I think the idea is so you cannot find someone from their face. Like if I have your photo, and I could find other photos/footage of say where you were last seen.
For example, I think you could still train face recognition models, and deploy them on Google Photos to find you and your friends amongst your own photos.
