I believe them as well from a very literal perspective. The video will be deleted but the metadata that is created from the video will not.

100% this. The fingerprint is what they use for reidentification.

I've spoken to a number of companies in this space while searching for one that uses a ZKP and a user-held VC of the fingerprint vs the server storing it (for use with a Linux Foundation labs project). I ended up rolling my own using FOSS face models.
