Consent forms for image use

Consent tool for handling digital consents in DAM

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.

Please note that the examples in this article are based on Danish rules and practice. As the rules vary from country to country, you should always check the legislation that applies where you operate.
