By attending this event, whether as a participant or otherwise (e.g. as a supporter), you acknowledge that images may be captured during the event using film photography, digital photography, video or other medium and may be used by the NUS to promote the organisation and its work, or other future events by the NUS via NUS’ websites, social media websites, promotional leaflets and brochures and other publicity material (such as internal and external newsletters). The images may also be provided to the media for publication in local or national newspapers or magazines.
NUS acknowledges its responsibilities in capturing images by photography or other means in particular with reference to:
• The Protection of Children Act 1978;
• An individual’s right to privacy under The Human Rights Act 1998; and
• The Data Protection Act 1998
• General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)
Where possible and practical to do so, NUS shall seek written consent in respect of image capture. Where this is not possible for practical reasons, unless express objections are received, individuals attending this event are deemed to have given their consent by attending or remaining at the event. No image shall be used by NUS for commercial purposes without express consent of the individual(s) captured in that image.
NUS shall take no responsibility for the capture and use of any images taken at the event by any third party not directly engaged by NUS to do so on its behalf and accepts no liability for the actions of such third parties.
Where the policy refers to ‘NUS’ it means both National Union of Students (UK) and NUS Students’ Union Charitable Services or a company under their control. At the time of writing these are NUS Services Ltd [controlled by NUS Students’ Union Charitable Services].
