// The Problem

Your face is being captured.
You just don't know it.

Every day, people are photographed without knowledge or consent — on transit, at events, in public. There's no notification. No control. No recourse. For women, children, and vulnerable people, this isn't inconvenience — it's a safety issue.

🚫

No Notification

You are never told when someone photographs you. It happens invisibly, constantly.

🔓

No Control

You cannot approve or deny the use of your image. Once taken, it's out of your hands.

⚠️

No Recourse

There's no way to find, remove, or challenge a photo you never knew existed.

// How It Works

Four steps. Full protection.

WhoTook alerts you in real time when someone takes your photo and gives you rights over your image — on the spot.

Capture

Photographer takes a photo. Faces are automatically detected before anything is stored.

Detect

Faces are matched against registered users. Unknown faces are blurred by default — protected instantly.

Notify

Matched subjects receive a real-time push notification. They see the photo and choose: approve or deny.

Protect

Approved photos unlock. Denied faces are permanently replaced. Your decision is final.

// What Sets Us Apart

Consent-first. Privacy by default.

WhoTook isn't a filter or a photo editor. It's a consent system built into a camera — designed from the ground up to protect people, not platforms.

🛡

Privacy by Default

Unregistered people are automatically blurred. You don't need an account to be protected. WhoTook shields everyone in the frame.

🔒

Consent-First Architecture

The original photo is never accessible before the subject decides. Consent isn't a setting — it's the foundation.

⚡

Real-Time Alerts

You're notified the moment a photo is taken — not after it's been shared, posted, or distributed. You know immediately.

👶

Child Safety

Children are protected through auto-blur without ever storing a minor's biometric data. No facial profiles. No risk.

// Origin Story

Born on the trains of Chicago.

WhoTook was born from lived experience — not a startup incubator, not a product workshop, not a whiteboard session. Its founder spent years riding Chicago's public transit watching the same scene repeat: someone catches a stranger photographing or recording them, a confrontation erupts, and there's no proof on either side.

Women and children were disproportionately targeted. People stepped in to defend them with nothing but their word. No technology existed to change that dynamic — until now.

WhoTook was built so that no one has to fight to feel safe in public. Every line of code, every system, every decision — built by one person who decided this needed to exist and taught himself everything required to make it real.

— Paul A. Jones, Founder
