For research & academia

De-identify research imagery — to meet your ethics & GDPR obligations.

Privacy Keeper de-identifies people and vehicles across your 360° datasets while preserving the EXIF and GPS your analysis depends on. Everything runs offline on lab hardware, and each run is logged for your IRB or data-protection review.

The compliance requirement

De-identification can’t destroy the data your study relies on

The usual trade-offs

Ethics boards require identifiable people to be de-identified
Many datasets can’t legally be uploaded to a cloud service
Stripping metadata breaks reproducibility and spatial analysis
Manual de-identification doesn’t scale to large datasets

With Privacy Keeper

Faces and plates de-identified automatically across the dataset
EXIF, GPS and timestamps preserved so analysis stays reproducible
Batch large datasets, or script the CLI for HPC and lab pipelines
Every run is audit-logged for your IRB / ethics board records

Why research teams choose it

Built for compliant, reproducible research

Analysis metadata stays intact

GPS, heading and timestamps survive untouched, so de-identified imagery stays usable for spatial and longitudinal analysis.

Stays on lab hardware

No cloud, no telemetry — ideal for datasets that ethics approval or data agreements forbid sending off-site.

Scales to big datasets

Batch thousands of frames, or apply a saved workflow JSON via CLI on lab servers and HPC clusters.

Documentation for your IRB

Each run writes a detailed log you can submit to your ethics board or data-protection office as proof of de-identification.

Real results

Real output — hover to see what the detector caught and de-identified.

Research questions

Common questions

Will I keep the metadata my analysis needs?

Yes. EXIF — GPS, heading, camera model, timestamps — is copied byte-for-byte to the de-identified output, so your spatial and longitudinal analysis stays reproducible.

Can I document this for my ethics board?

Yes. Every run writes a detailed audit log — settings, per-image results, performance — that you can submit to your IRB, ethics board or data-protection office.

Can I run this on a lab server or HPC?

Yes. The CLI applies your saved workflow JSON headlessly, so you can de-identify large datasets unattended on lab servers or HPC clusters.
