Photography Policy and Privacy

We view the taking of photographic records on behalf of clubs and associations as an important activity that benefits both the club/association and all of it’s membership as a way to promote membership growth for the club/association. The outsourcing of part of the photography service to Sports In Focus by your club/association, enables them to provide a higher quality service to you and important fundraising revenue for the club/association.

Photographs taken by us or any sub-contractors, of yourself or family members as a record of participation in a group or team or in attendance at one of our events, functions or games may be utilized for club/association organization purposes and activities, which include (but not by way of limitation) illustration, promotion, advertising and recording of the club/association activities and you or your child’s participation in such activities.

Such photographs may be published by the club/association or by us on behalf of the club/association, in any medium (for example website and social media) and may be labeled with the name of the person/s in the photograph and the event at which the photograph was taken.

If you have objections to the taking of your or your child’s photographs under this policy, then please email: [email protected] and include your or your child’s full details and expressly state if you do not want Sports In Focus to contact you and also whether you do not want individual photos taken of you or your child.

If we receive such a request, then we will make all efforts to prevent further contact and the individual photography of you or your child. However, please note that you or your child may still be photographed incidentally in the background of functions, team/group photos and games, which is an unavoidable consequence of being a member of any club/association.

Please contact [email protected] should you require further information about this policy.
