| Researchers use video to record real-world behaviour, interactions, or experiments in detail, for example, tracking how people move, communicate, or perform tasks over time. It is important to de-identify this type of data, because videos can easily reveal faces, voices, or surroundings, and leaving those visible can reveal participants’ identities. | Researchers use videos or images to record real-world behaviour, interactions, or experiments in detail, for example, tracking how people move, communicate, or perform tasks over time.

For images, tools like Paint or [[https://www.adobe.com/nl/products/photoshop.html|Adobe Photoshop]] can be used to blur or pixelate personal identifiable information. ++++ |

| ++++ (Click) Face and body masking |[[https://github.com/MaskAnyone/MaskAnyone|MaskAnyone]] is a de-identification toolbox for videos that allows you to remove personal identifiable information from videos, while at the same time preserving utility. It provides a variety of algorithms that allow you to de-identify or even anonymize videos (video & audio). | |

| Even after de-identifying video data so it's unrecognizable to people or machines, metadata, such as timestamps or location tags, can still indirectly reveal participants’ identities. | Even after de-identifying video data so it's unrecognizable to people or machines, metadata, such as timestamps or location tags, can still indirectly reveal participants’ identities. |
