Correction: Topalli, N.; Badii, A. A User-Centric Context-Aware Framework for Real-Time Optimisation of Multimedia Data Privacy Protection, and Information Retention Within Multimodal AI Systems. Sensors 2025, 25, 6105

In the original publication [1], there was a mistake in the caption for Figure 1. The correct caption appears below.

Figure 1. Framework architecture flowchart illustrating the process from recognition to ontology-driven privacy adaptation.

Atta Badii was not included in methodology as an author in the original publication. The corrected Author Contributions statement appears here.

Author Contributions: Conceptualization, N.T. and A.B.; methodology, A.B. and N.T.; software, N.T.; validation, N.T. and A.B.; formal analysis, N.T.; investigation, N.T.; resources, A.B.; data curation, N.T.; writing—original draft preparation, N.T.; writing—review and editing, N.T. and A.B.; visualization, N.T.; supervision, A.B.; project administration, A.B.; funding acquisition, N.T. and A.B. All authors have read and agreed to the published version of the manuscript.

There was an error in the original publication. The contextual linkage to the prior foundational works [30,31] had not been included.

A correction has been made to 2. Related Work, 2.2. Context-Aware and Multi-User Privacy Adaptation Techniques, after paragraph 3 and before paragraph 4:

The approach proposed in this research study is underpinned by earlier advances towards context-specific user-led requirements conflict resolution and prioritisation as provided by the UI-REF ontologically based methodology [30] and its application to context-specific privacy protection in multimedia data frames [31].

A correction has been made to 3.4. Person Re-Identification, paragraph 1, third sentence, to include one missed reference:

As Dantcheva, Elia, and Ross [37] highlight, a single soft biometric trait would not be unique enough to identify a subject, but their combination can significantly increase the probability of identity inference [34,38,39].
