1. A server device comprising:
one or more processors; and
one or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:
access a privacy policy of a user, the privacy policy associated with a first emotion of the user;
based at least in part on the privacy policy, determine a mask related to the first emotion of the user;
in an initial stage of an emotion inference process, apply the mask to filter out a private subset of sensed data that corresponds to the first emotion of the user, creating filtered sensed data, the filtered sensed data corresponding to a second emotion of the user;
in a subsequent stage of the emotion inference process, determine, using the filtered sensed data, an emotion classification result indicating the second emotion of the user; and
send the emotion classification result indicating the second emotion of the user to a remote device.
