How, why and what for?

Consent forms for image use

Obtaining consent to use images is not only a legal necessity, but also a way to show respect to the people depicted in the images. If your company uses images for marketing purposes, on social media or internally, it is important to keep track of when and how consent needs to be obtained. GDPR regulations require that consent is explicit, informed and well documented. This means that the person must actively agree to how and for what period of time the images may be used.

 

Consent is required when using images in marketing. This applies to publishing images on websites, in print and on digital platforms. If you do not obtain consent, you may risk legal sanctions and damage to your company’s reputation.

FAQ

When is consent to image use required?

Consent is required when the images show identifiable people and the purpose is portrait photography or marketing purposes. For situational images, consent may be waived if the individuals cannot reasonably feel violated, exposed or exploited.

How do I ensure that consent complies with GDPR?

Consent must be explicit, informed and documented. This means that the individual must know exactly how and for what period of time the image will be used. Digital solutions such as Kontainer’s Photo Consent Tool make it easier to comply with these requirements.

Can consent be withdrawn?

Yes, an individual can withdraw their consent at any time. To minimize conflicts, it is therefore advisable to have a written agreement that specifies how and for how long the image may be used.

What do I do if someone requests that a photo be removed?

If an individual requests that an image be removed, you as a data controller must review the request and act quickly. Kontainer’s Photo Consent Tool can help identify and remove images effectively.
