GDPR Article 5(1)(c) requires data minimization: collect and process only personal data adequate and necessary for your purpose. For video, that means blurring identifiable faces, plates, and PII when the specific identity isn't essential to your use case.
Identify personal data in video: faces, plates, documents, readable text.
Built for EU-based businesses, multinationals with EU operations, and compliance officers managing video data.
Identify personal data in video
Locate faces, plates, documents, and readable text that constitute personal data under GDPR.
Apply blur to minimize identifiable information
Blur regions per GDPR Article 5 data minimization—only obscure what's necessary for your use case.
Document blur decisions
Record blur decisions in your processing records and DPIA if applicable before publication.
What this example demonstrates
GDPR fines averaged €4.8M in 2026 with enforcement targeting unnecessary personal data retention. Video blur is a technical measure demonstrating good-faith compliance when combined with legal documentation and consent frameworks.
Why teams use this pattern
Blur is not a silver bullet—GDPR compliance also requires lawful basis, data subject rights, retention policies, and DPIAs—but it's a visible, auditable step controllers can implement before publication.
Common use cases
Teams reach for this workflow when public space recordings for marketing in eu markets; cctv footage shared externally for investigations; event coverage with attendees in eu jurisdictions; corporate training videos with eu employee data. BGBlur automates detection so these scenarios stay publishable without days in a timeline.
Built for EU-based businesses and organizations and Multinational corporations with EU operations
Ideal audiences include EU-based businesses and organizations, Multinational corporations with EU operations, Marketing teams targeting EU audiences, Data protection and compliance officers. Pair this example with your policy review when footage is sensitive or public-facing.

常见问题解答与说明
- 模糊能满足GDPR的同意要求吗？
- 模糊是一种最小化技术，而不是合法依据的替代；依照第6条，你仍需要同意、合法权益或其他合法依据。
- 在GDPR里，模糊处理后的面孔算不算“匿名”？
- GDPR 附录 26提到：如果任何人都无法重新识别个人，相关数据就属于匿名数据。那种“强而且不可逆”的模糊，或许有机会符合要求——但务必和律师确认你遇到的具体情况。
- GDPR 数据主题访问请求该怎么做？
- 如果有人要求删除他们的影像，模糊后的替代方案可以在影片情境需要时做到完全删除；同时把你的理由记录下来。
