The complete video privacy checklist before sharing or publishing

A reusable checklist covering scope, face redaction, other identifiers, export QA and controlled delivery.

Practical outcome: Reduce missed identifiers and wrong-file releases with one consistent approval gate.

01

Scope and source control

Confirm purpose, audience, necessary time range and authorised source. Preserve an untouched original where the use case requires it and work from a controlled copy.

  • Correct source and time range.
  • Approved local storage.
  • Named operator and reviewer.
  • Defined release destination.

02

Visual and audio review

Detect and track faces, then inspect the timeline for misses and false positives. Continue beyond faces: screens, documents, vehicle plates, distinctive names and spoken information may also identify people.

  • Frame edges and scene cuts.
  • Profiles, occlusion and low light.
  • Reflections and embedded screens.
  • Audio, badges and documents.

03

Export and release

Review the final encoded file at intended resolution. Check duration, audio, mask strength and continuity. Use a clear protected filename and release only from the approved folder.

Record the minimum operational facts needed to prove the review occurred, then apply the organisation’s retention rule.

Apply the workflow

Review real footage locally.

CensorFlow detects and tracks visible faces on your Windows PC, then lets a person correct and approve the result before export.
