Selectively obscuring private information based on contextual information

A computing device comprising:

• at least one processor;
• and
• a memory comprising instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to:
• determine, based at least in part on a type of information to be displayed at a display device associated with the computing device, a privacy level for the information to be displayed;
• determine whether the privacy level satisfies a threshold privacy level;
• and responsive to determining that the privacy level satisfies the threshold privacy level:
• determine, based on sensor data generated by at least one sensor associated with the computing device, whether an individual not associated with a currently active user account of the computing device is proximate to the display device;
• responsive to determining the individual not associated with the currently active user account is proximate to the display device:
• determine, based at least in part on the sensor data, an estimated speed of the individual not associated with the currently active user account relative to the display device;
• determine whether the estimated speed satisfies a threshold speed;
• responsive to determining that the estimated speed satisfies the threshold speed, output, for display at the display device, the information such that at least a first portion of the information is obscured;
• and
• responsive to determining that the estimated speed does not satisfy the threshold speed, output, for display at the display device, the information.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium encoded with instructions that, when executed by at least one processor of a computing device, cause the at least one processor to:

• determine, based at least in part on a type of information to be displayed at a display device associated with the computing device, a privacy level for the information to be displayed;
• determine whether the privacy level satisfies a threshold privacy level;
• and
• responsive to determining that the privacy level satisfies the threshold privacy level:
• determine, based on sensor data generated by at least one sensor associated with the computing device, whether an individual not associated with a currently active user account of the computing device is proximate to the display device;
• responsive to determining the individual not associated with the currently active user account is proximate to the display device:
• determine, based at least in part on the sensor data, an estimated speed of the individual not associated with the currently active user account relative to the display device;
• determine whether the estimated speed satisfies a threshold speed;
• responsive to determining that the estimated speed satisfies the threshold speed, output, for display at the display device, the information such that at least a first portion of the information is obscured;
• and
• responsive to determining that the estimated speed does not satisfy the threshold speed, output, for display at the display device, the information.
