In one embodiment, a computer-implemented method includes identifying one or more subjects appearing in an image captured by a mobile device. One or more approval statuses are determined, and an approval status is associated with each of the one or more subjects appearing in the image. Determining the one or more approval statuses includes searching, by a computer processor of the mobile device, within stored data for a blanket approval status applicable to the image for each subject in the image. A blanket approval status specifies an approval status to be applied for images captured in certain circumstances. The one or more approval statuses of the one or more subjects are displaying in association with the image, on the mobile device. It is determined whether the image is approved for publication based on the one or more approval statuses of the one or more subjects in the image.
