ABOUT US

Do Not Record Me is not a brand. It’s a boundary.

We design apparel and build technology with a clear purpose: to signal and enforce non-consent to being filmed in public or private spaces. Our pieces aren’t just decorative statements, they’re functional, machine-readable signals created for a world where cameras are everywhere and consent is assumed.

Whether you wear it, carry it, or stick it, every piece communicates the same message: being visible does not mean you have agreed to be content.

Do Not Record Me isn't a massive tech corporation; it started as a single, focused response to a massive problem. We don't just ask platforms to respect your boundaries, we've built the open-source tools that allow them to.

We’re building toward a future where respecting personal boundaries is the default, not the exception.

Your Image. Your Rules.

Our Mission

Our mission is to establish visual consent as a fundamental right in an always-recording world.

We bridge the physical and digital worlds with apparel and software designed to enforce your consent.

Our Purpose

We exist to remind the world that being visible does not mean you agree to be used as content.

We give you the power to set an undeniable boundary and reclaim your public privacy without apology.

Our Vision

A future where filming someone without their explicit consent is socially and digitally unacceptable.

A world where personal privacy boundaries are universally recognized as the default, not the exception.

The Blueprint

We aren't waiting for tech giants to give us privacy. Here is exactly how we are building it ourselves.

Today, simply stepping outside means being recorded by smartphones, drones, and social media live streams.

Your face is harvested for AI training and background content without your permission. You can say "do not record me," but until now, there has been no way to legally or technically enforce that boundary.

The Do Not Record Me (DNRM) protocol turns your privacy into a physical and digital rule that technology has to follow.

We are building a complete ecosystem to protect your face, and the first two parts are already live.

Privacy starts in the real world. You wear our everyday apparel, patches, or gear featuring the machine-readable DNRM marker.

This serves as a clear, high-contrast visual anchor that tells human operators and computer cameras: I do not consent to being recorded.

To prove the technology works, we built a free, open-source computer vision program. When a camera running our software sees your DNRM marker, it respects your boundary instantly.

It automatically blurs or pixelates your face in real-time, before the video is ever saved. We have proven that automated privacy is completely possible today.

We have the clothes, and we have the code. Now, we need to build the final piece, the Decentralized Escrow Network (DREN) and use our petition to force tech giants to adopt it.

If cameras blur faces automatically, won't criminals use DNRM gear to hide from the police?

To solve this, Part 3 introduces the "Digital Lockbox." When a camera blurs your face, it doesn't permanently delete the original pixels, it mathematically locks them away.

Here is the crucial part: Our network never stores any video or master key.

The locked video file stays entirely on the phone of the person who filmed it (or on the platform where they posted it).

Unlocking the file requires two separate cryptographic pieces to come together. The video file itself holds one locked half, and the DREN network governs the other.

The person filming cannot unlock it.

Social media platforms cannot unlock it.

Even the camera manufacturers (like Apple or DJI) cannot unlock it.

If a serious crime occurs, law enforcement must first get the locked video file directly from the device owner. Then, they must present a valid legal warrant to our decentralized network.

Only if majority of this independent network agrees the warrant is lawful will they provide the digital "key" to unlock the face in that specific video.

We have proven the tech works locally. Now, we are launching a massive public petition demanding that major tech platforms (like Meta, TikTok, etc) and hardware makers (like Apple, Samsung, etc) build the DNRM standard directly into their native systems.

Once they adopt it, if someone films you with an old camera and uploads it to social media, the platform will automatically detect your DNRM shirt, retroactively blur your face, and lock the raw file to protect you.

We refuse to rely on corporate sponsorships or venture capital, which could compromise our privacy mission. The DNRM network is entirely funded by the people it protects.

When you buy our apparel and gear (Part 1), 10% of the proceeds go directly toward coding the Digital Lockbox and pushing our petition for global tech adoption (Part 3).

We do not have to wait for tech giants to give us our privacy back. We can wear the technology that demands it.

No Consent. No Recording.

DNRM isn’t just an idea; it’s a fully architected digital rights protocol. Read our comprehensive White Paper to understand the math, the governance, and the code we are using to build a decentralized standard for visual consent.

PRIVACY IS A RIGHT,
NOT A LUXURY!

Every time you step into public, your image is captured by smartphones, surveillance feeds, and AI scrapers. Being visible has been mistaken for giving permission to record you without your knowledge.

Do Not Record Me is fighting back with a two-part system to restore your visual consent. First, our purpose-built clothing acts as a real-world "opt-out" button, sending a clear signal that you do not consent to being filmed.

Second, we built the software: Watch the live demo on the right!

To prove automated privacy is a reality, we’ve published a free, open-source computer vision solution that actively detects our DNRM apparel and dynamically blurs your face in real time.

Now that the technology exists, tech giants should adopt the standard.
