ALL DATA COLLECTED IS IN COMPLIANCE WITH DATA PROTECTION ACT & PRIVACY
 

CLIENTS AND WEDDING GUESTS CAPTURED IN PHOTOS

Under GDPR legislation, a photograph may in some instances constitute a form of personal data where they can be processed to allow “the unique identification or authentication of a natural person”. Video-Craft LTD will never photograph an individual as a means of unique identification or authentication unless con sensually contracted to do so. Guests at weddings appear in photos taken by Video-Craft LTD as a part of the visual recording of the event in photos. Guests captured in portraits or group photos do so as part of the event and their rights are protected by Video-Craft LTD as detailed in this privacy policy. In terms of explicit GDPR compliance, Wedding clients and guests are photographed within the parameters of GDPR legislation based on ‘legitimate interests’.

The taking of photographs of wedding guests when viewed as a form of processing personal data is necessary for the legitimate interests of Video-Craft LTD as a photography business unless there is a good reason to protect a given individual's data which overrides those legitimate interests. Operating within the parameters of legitimate interests as laid out in GDPR legislation, the disproportionate effort involved in providing privacy policy information to all wedding guests at the event and the degree to which it would distract us from performing our job renders it infeasible to do. Wedding clients are therefore requested in their contract to direct their guests to read this privacy policy in advance of the event and to advise them to contact us in advance with any concerns around the processing of their data, namely being photographed.
 

SOCIAL MEDIA POLICY & USAGE

We adopt a safe and responsible social media policy. All content shared on our official social media accounts are done with the consent of the client as stated in our contracts and terms and conditions and in compliance with the data protection act. We are not responsible for any content that is being taken from your accounts without your consent by any third party. they are solely responsible for that.
