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”. JBottPhoto will never photograph an individual as a means of unique identification or authentication unless consensually contracted to do so. Attendees that appear in photos taken by JBottPhoto as a part of the visual documentation of the event in photos. Artists and individuals captured in portraits or in group photos do so as part of the event.

In terms of explicit GDPR compliance, Artists and Attendees are photographed within the parameters of GDPR legislation on the basis of ‘legitimate interests’. The taking of photographs of Artists and Attendees when viewed as a form of processing personal data is necessary for the legitimate interests of JBottPhoto as a photography business unless there is a good reason to protect a given individual’s personal 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 Artists and Attendees at an event and the degree to which it would distract us from performing our job renders it infeasible to do. Promotors, Artists, Venue owners and anyone else who contracts the photographic services of JBottPhoto are therefor advised to inform attendees that photographs will be taken in the performance.

DISPLAY OF IMAGES

We may display photographs to promote JBottPhoto on the JBottPhoto website and blog, on social media, in exhibitions, in advertising, brochures, magazine articles and other such material, providing that the images used are used lawfully and without damage to JBottPhoto’s client(s).
