"facial recognition exe" doesn't say anything about a "face image database" as this post title claims.

What the hell else could they be doing with the data? Scanning a face without a database is absolutely pointless.

The linked article tells you: Recognize when someone stands in front of the vending machine.

"the data" is interpreted. Not stored or matched.
