Abstract
Methods, systems, and software are disclosed herein for protecting the privacy of users in images and to prevent or mitigate the occurrence of privacy breaches. In an implementation, a biometric privacy service identifies a biometric marker in an image of a scene, such as a fingerprint, a retina, or an iris. The service then identifies one or more features of the biometric marker to be modified. The biometric service also identifies one or more modifications to make to the one or more features of the biometric marker and generates a modified version of the biometric marker that reflects the modification(s). The image is updated by the service with the modified version of the biometric marker, so that the biometric marker can no longer be used for unwanted purposes, whether they be malicious in intent or benign.
