Challenge

The company held a vast repository of images and videos containing sensitive client information. With the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) compliance deadline approaching, ensuring the protection of Californian customers' personal data became a critical priority. CCPA mandates strict privacy controls, including the anonymization of identifiable information in media content. Non-compliance would result in significant legal and financial repercussions, making this an urgent and sensitive issue for the company.

Solution

Our AI engineers collaborated closely with the company to develop an automated solution that applied advanced object detection techniques to identify and anonymize sensitive customer data in images and videos. Leveraging supervised Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), we implemented a system capable of detecting faces and other personally identifiable information (PII), automatically applying blurring or redaction to meet CCPA requirements.

We designed and implemented a robust pipeline that began with data ingestion and included the identification and anonymization steps before storing the processed data in their storage systems. This solution allowed the company to safely use anonymized data for research and development purposes without compromising privacy.
