Employee image consent vs. social media

Anna Morris

Hi Forum,

In our new world of GDPR compliance, I'm really keen to know how you are all tackling image consent.

We attend many events and use various social media platforms to keep customers informed of what we are doing.

In the past we have happily snapped and posted pictures of staff across these platforms (without issue). However, I realise this is not the way forward.

In some cases we can gain individual consent per picture, but at events this simply isn't possible.

Sales are understandably unhappy with us hampering their progress, so I have had to talk one of the managers of the ceiling this morning.

I want to find a sensible route to gaining consent (maybe per event) for images to be used and would love to hear how others are going about it.

Another example of GDPR and a modern business environment colliding! 

Thanks!

Anna

  • I can think of a million and one reasons why someone might not like their image on a public social media platform - why not ensure that any snaps are of people who actually dont mind their photo being used in this way? I think it will be a select few who wont want their image used, I am uncomfortable with pursuing a minority and questioning them rather than going with the willing majority.
