Abstract
Provided is a data protection system that operates to shield private data from detection or communication over a network. In an embodiment, the system includes a shielding device that, when active, provides a shielding output that shields, e.g., obscures, detection of private data by sensors of smart devices. The shielding may be selectively activated such that active sensors of the smart devices may operate or detect environmental events normally during times outside of the shielding. A data protection tool of the system may remove or shield private data generated by a user device, e.g., by modifying captured image data.
