Photography and Filming Policy
The policy of Armley Tennis Club in relation to the use of photography and video content is in line with LTA policy and we expect all members to adhere to these rules. If you have any questions on these guidelines or their implementation, please email richardslack12@gmail.com.
IMAGE AND VIDEO CONTENT
All individuals featured in photographs or film captured must be:
- Appropriately dressed with clothing covering their torso from their neck to their thighs (e.g. a t-shirt and shorts or skirt). Images of individuals in a state or undress, such as whilst they are changing before or after a match should not be captured or shared in any circumstance;
- Featured with people engaging in tennis;
- In groups with other children or adults where possible; and
- Representative of diversity across tennis with regard to age, gender, ethnicity and disability.
When publishing images in publicity material, online, in print and/or on social media the LTA advises thought to be given to the selection of images used. It is advisable not to use the full name of an individual featured or any other additional detailed information, and consent from that individual or their parent/guardian should be obtained in advance.
There is no intention to prevent coaches using video equipment as a legitimate coaching aid, however, players and parents/guardians should consent to this image capture and be made aware that this is part of the coaching programme and that material will be stored securely and deleted or destroyed when requested or no longer needed.
The LTA reserves the right to ask for photographs or film to be deleted and/or removed from internet sites or social media platforms.
DATA PROTECTION
Under applicable data protection legislation, including the General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679 and the Data Protection Act 2018, individuals have a right to object to their images being processed. Depending on the circumstance, consent from the individual or their parent/guardian should be obtained before capturing, sharing or publishing images where an individual is identifiable. Whilst it is not always possible to avoid a specific image being captured, where an individual does object to their image being captured, attempts should be made to avoid photographing that individual and images of them should be deleted on request. In addition, as with all personal data, images and footage should be processed in accordance with the applicable data protection principles, other relevant legislation and guidance.
