Face recognition comes to Google's Picasa E-mail

The more people use web albums, the more likely they are to order prints and other items that incorporate those images. And when that happens, presumably Google gets a cut.

But do you trust them not to exploit the underlying data you've provided?

I know I'd need to trust a desktop application to not 'phone home' (a firewall isn't much help if you want the app to be able to upload images for sharing), but I'd be much more comfortable with a face recognition and photo tagging application that actually ran on my computer, not on someone else's servers in a possibly unknown jurisdiction.
