The face data can always be found by using a program such as ExifTool which displays all the metadata or desired subsets Most of this metadata is in a standard format and will be correctly interpreted and shown by other desktop photo organizers. Picasa stores most of the user-added info within the metadata of the jpg itself. The Picasa Resources website by Picasa Top Contributors will still exist, and you can find help here for problems you may have.
