Dear DP Experts
I work in a Further Education college and I am looking for some guidance on the data protection issues surrounding the individual’s permission for publicity photographs to be used on our website and in printed material. This predominantly applies to students who are aged 16-18 but also to adult learners 19+ years old.
Currently we use ‘model release’ forms when photographing individuals and small groups and we don’t request permission from those in non-posed shots who are incidentally going about their business on the college grounds or in the buildings. However, we would like to include a blanket agreement on all student enrolment forms to say that they agree to photographs of them being used in publicity material on the web or anywhere in the public domain - omitting the requirement for the model release forms.
My questions are; can we add a tick box to the enrolment form asking newly enrolling students to agree to photographs of them being used in this way, and can we make this tick box question opt-out or does it have to be opt-in?
Thanks
