What GDPR says about images
An identifiable face is personal data under GDPR. Publishing or keeping a photo where people are recognizable requires a legal basis (often consent). Anonymizing the photo removes the personal nature of the data and lifts that constraint.
Which areas to anonymize?
Beyond faces: license plates, name badges, screens showing data, documents, addresses on a storefront. Make Blur lets you mask each area manually or via automatic face detection.
Why local matters
Tools that upload your photos hand personal data to a third party. Make Blur processes the image in your browser: no data leaves your device, which dramatically simplifies compliance.
