California-style video privacy and minimization
Definitions of ‘personal information’ can include imagery. Many publishers blur by default before repurposing UGC or street footage in ads.
Practical publishing hygiene
Treat recognizable plates and faces in monetized compilations as higher-risk than the same pixels in private training archives.
Document which clips are blurred, when, and by whom—privacy programs love receipts.
One-click alternative with BGBlur
Upload a clip and preview automatic face, plate, background, or prompt-based blur—no keyframes or nested timelines.

- Employees in B-roll?
- Workplace notices and HR policies still govern; blur reduces incidental exposure.
- Minors?
