In the current age of smart devices and smart phones, any image taken using these devices are immediately auto uploaded to the cloud (Google Photos, iCloud, etc) or internet (Social media sites like Facebook, Twitter, etc). And there is an archive of all the contents that is being uploaded to the internet in the Wayback Machine. So, one must be cautious about what is being uploaded to the internet.

Loss, misuse, modification, or unauthorized access to sensitive information can adversely affect the privacy or welfare of an individual, trade secrets of a business or even the security and international relations of a nation depending on the level of sensitivity and nature of the information.

We have designed a machine learning system that classifies the data in the images as sensitive or non-sensitive. On being classified as sensitive, we can warn the users that their image contains sensitive information (before uploading to the cloud).
