System and method of providing privacy by blurring images of people in unauthorized photos and videos

A system comprising:

• a plurality of network-based computer servers;
• a plurality of authorized user devices;
• and
• a rewards-based, universal, integrated code base operating across the plurality of network-based computer servers for use by the plurality of authorized user devices, wherein each respective authorized user device of the plurality of authorized user devices comprises an access component that enables interaction by the respective authorized user device with one or more platforms operating on the rewards-based, universal, integrated code base, wherein the rewards-based, universal, integrated code base comprises an aggregation of each respective platform of the one or more platforms and which enables at least one or more of rewards, payments and data sharing between each respective platform in the rewards-based, universal, integrated code base and wherein the rewards-based, universal, integrated code base is configured to interact with the plurality of authorized user devices and to perform operations comprising:
• receiving, from a first authorized user device operated by a first user, an image of a second user having a second authorized user device, wherein the second user has a user profile with a privacy setting indicating that pictures or video taken of the second user by the first authorized user device should be blurred;
• based on the user profile, blurring the image of the second user taken by the first authorized user device;
• transmitting a request to the second authorized user device to unblur the image;
• when the second user authorizes, via interacting with the request, that the image can be unblurred, unblurring the image;
• and
• when the second user declines to authorize that the image can be unblurred, maintaining the blurring of the image.

An authorized mobile device comprising:

• a processor;
• a camera in communication with the processor;
• an access component that enables interaction by an authorized mobile device with one or more platforms operating on a rewards-based, universal, integrated code base, wherein the rewards-based, universal, integrated code base comprises an aggregation of a plurality of platforms and which enables at least one or more of rewards, payments and data sharing between each respective platform of the plurality of platforms in the rewards-based, universal, integrated code base;
• and
• a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions which, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising receiving, via the camera of the authorized mobile device and as instructed by a first user, an image of a second user associated with a second authorized user device, wherein the second user has a user profile with a privacy setting indicating that pictures or video taken of the second user by the authorized mobile device should be blurred, wherein a module operating on the rewards-based, universal, integrated code base is configured to perform operations comprising:
• based on the user profile, causing a blurring of the image of the second user;
• when the second user authorizes, via interacting with an unblur request, that the image can be unblurred, causing an unblurring of the image;
• and
• when the second user declines to authorize that the image can be unblurred, maintaining the blurring of the image.
