Frequently asked questions

Do we need a signed release to post photos from our events?+

For identifiable images of individuals, yes — a signed release for adults and parental or guardian consent for minors. At public events you should post clear notice that media may be captured and honor any request not to be photographed. The included consent form makes this straightforward.

How should we handle photos of children?+

Get parental or guardian consent before capturing or using identifiable images of a minor, avoid publishing a child's full name with their photo, never reveal a child's location or contact details, and remove the image promptly on request. This policy builds those protections in.

Can someone withdraw consent after a photo is published?+

Yes. An individual or a minor's guardian can withdraw consent at any time. You then stop future use and make reasonable efforts to remove the image from materials you control, while being honest that already-printed or already-public media may not be fully recallable.
