As you would expect, all the processing is done on the phone on a secure chip. No data is sent to Apple.
In the dark the device sends out a little flashlight to light up your face, along with IR “dots.” Apple says they’ve trained FaceID to not be fooled by masks. No person can unlock the iPhone X with their face.
