MultiPriv: Benchmarking Individual-Level Privacy Reasoning in Vision-Language Models
Modern Vision-Language Models (VLMs) pose significant individual-level privacy risks by linking fragmented multimodal data to identifiable individuals through hierarchical chain-of-thought reasoning. However, existing privacy benchmarks remain structurally insufficient for this threat, as they primarily evaluate privacy perception while failing to address the more critical risk of privacy reasoning: a VLM's ability to infer and link distributed information to construct individual profiles. To address this gap, we propose MultiPriv, the first benchmark designed to systematically evaluate individual-level privacy reasoning in VLMs. We introduce the Privacy Perception and Reasoning (PPR) framework and construct a bilingual multimodal dataset with synthetic individual profiles, where identifiers, such as faces and names, are linked to sensitive attributes. This design enables nine challenging tasks spanning attribute detection, cross-image re-identification, and chained inference. We conduct a large-scale evaluation of over 50 open-source and commercial VLMs. In our controlled benchmark, 60% of widely used VLMs can perform individual-level privacy reasoning with up to 80% accuracy, suggesting a significant potential threat to personal privacy. The benchmark is available at https://github.com/CyberChangAn/MultiPriv-PII.
