Photographic images and video

Sometimes individuals kindly take part in photo or video shoots. The photos and videos are used in our printed publications and digital channels, including websites and social media. Where we use your image online this will inevitably be subject to international data transfer.

We use the images and video footage on the basis of our legitimate business interest to record and promote our work.

We will always explain beforehand how the images or footage will be used, and will ask individuals to sign a consent form that contains a link to this page.

We sometimes use external agencies to record photos or video. Therefore, your personal information/image may be shared with partner agencies involved in the promotion of higher education and the University of Edinburgh in particular.

All personal information/images that we collect is held securely on the University’s servers and treated as confidential. We will hold your image for up to ten years, and we will delete it sooner if you ask us to do so.

We do not use profiling or automated decision-making processes. Some processes are semi-automated (such as anti-fraud data matching) but a human decision maker will always be involved before any decision is reached in relation to you.

Questions

If you have any questions about the data we hold, please email anne.rowling.clinic@ed.ac.uk.
