Street-level collections and Photo Paths are automatically blurred to obscure identifying information like faces and license plates. For Photo Spheres, it's the photographer’s responsibility to decide which elements in their photos must be blurred to respect others’ privacy.
If Google is the photo owner, you can report a photo or request it to be blurred if it contains:
- Your face, home, or other identifying information.
- Anything that violates the Google-contributed Street View privacy policies.
Tips:
- Google no longer supports Photo Paths. New Photo Paths can’t be published to Google Maps.
- If Google doesn’t own the photo, the photo owner must blur the photo before it’s published. Report the photo using the instructions below if you think someone published a photo of you that violates the Maps User Contributed Content Policy.
- After a photo is blurred and published, the blur can’t be removed from the photo.
You can change or delete Street View photos you uploaded at any time. To blur or remove photos you don't own, you must send a request.
