Responsible use

Goal and impact

Faces in an already recorded video can be made unrecognisable in case this video needs to be viewed by third parties.

Considerations

This algorithm increases the privacy of people on a given video as they are no longer shown recognisably.

Human intervention

After an automatic scan of an already recorded video using the algorithm, the results are displayed. These can be manually removed where additional objects can also be added. After this check, automatic editing/blurring can be performed.

Risk management

All processes are started manually and run once. There are no links to external systems. As a result, there is little risk in use.

Legal basis

Article 5 and Article 25 General Data Protection Regulation

Operations

Data

Image and sound recordings.

Technical design

It is a tool that recognises faces, just like in a photo camera. It looks at shapes icm eyes, mouth etc. to arrive at a result.
