Images of individuals, whether in still photographs or moving film images, will often be caught by the definition of personal data in the Data Protection Act 1998. In many cases consent from the individuals will need to be obtained in order to process (capture and use) the images fairly and lawfully.
Taking and using photographs or film footage of people without their consent could constitute a breach of the Act. If an individual objects to the display of their photograph then it must be removed.
Before taking photographs or filming, please use the below forms where appropriate.
