Can it even store biometric data for you if it doesn't know who you are? I was under the assumption that it's only stored if your profile is linked with your face in a photo.

That's a weirdly phrased question, since your biometric data is, by definition, part of "who you are".
I was under the assumption that it's only stored if your profile is linked with your face in a photo.
My comment has more do with the base concept of "don't want to be tracked, don't use their service" as a general concept for any service, rather than FB specific (which is why I gave a non-FB example). That said, I don't know if the rumors of "shadow profiles" are true or not. There is no technical reason why an image with two people in it (one of him which they already have) tagged with a comment of "Me and my wife on our honeymoon", couldn't be parsed given current NLP and face recognition capabilities.
Sure, you can create a set of 'face templates' that may or not be linked to a profile, and then match against them as long as you have some meaningful way to use the matching templates without a profile.
