Abstract
Methods and systems for preserving user privacy in captured content are disclosed. A device may capture content in a location. A user located at or near the location may not want to be depicted in the content. The user may be associated with a user device comprising a privacy setting (e.g., an opted-out device). The opted-out device may receive content features associated with the content. The opted-out device may determine if the user is depicted in the content by comparing the content features to a local content feature stored on the opted-out device. If the content features correspond to the local content feature, the opted-out device may determine that the user is depicted in the content. The opted-out device may protect the privacy of the user by causing the device to obfuscate the identity of the user in the content.
