Summary:Data privacy in photos is an important subject that is a major concern in today's world, especially given the compromising data it can contain or the rate at which the information can flow through the Internet. In this paper, we are proposing an approach that can mitigate the danger of sharing things like documents or personal images on the Internet. Our solution to this problem would be to obfuscate these images and documents with a set of randomly generated steps that would alter their content until the owner wants to access them again. Initially, the proposed solution can automatically identify faces, and has support for custom obfuscation on multiple defined areas. After that, it offers the possibility to export the keys separately for each of these areas, allowing at the time of deobfuscation access only to the desired areas.
