What is a consent form?
A consent form is a statement in which a person allows others to use and publish, for example, pictures or movies with the person. You can legally obtain consent in several ways, for example, orally or in writing. It is always the photographer, the company or the organization that must be able to prove that consent has been given for the use of the material and that consent complies with the personal data law. When you obtain consent with PhotoConsent your consent is automatically archived so you can always find it again.
Legislation about consent to images and movies
Companies and organizations who use images and movies on e.g. their website, Instagram/Facebook profile, or by promotion on platforms such as LinkedIn must, in order to comply with the personal data law, ensure consent statements for the material in which it is legally required. When should you obtain consent and when you can do without can be challenge to assess.
