Privacy Policy

Consent for Use of Photographs

At Sweet Bone Studio, we respect the privacy and rights of individuals featured in the photographs and videos displayed on our website. We adhere to the principles of informed consent and believe in transparency when it comes to using photographs of individuals. This section outlines our policy regarding obtaining and revoking consent from the subjects of the pictures featured on our website.

Obtaining Consent

  • Informed Consent

    Before featuring photographs on our website that prominently display individuals or identifiable subjects, we make reasonable efforts to obtain their informed consent. This consent may be obtained directly from the individual or, in the case of minors, from their legal guardian.

  • Consent Information

    Individuals or their legal guardians are provided with information about how the photographs will be used, including any potential public sharing, and any foreseeable consequences of the publication. They are given the opportunity to ask questions and make an informed decision.

  • Written Consent

    When possible, we will try to obtain written consent to use the photographs, especially in cases involving private settings or intimate or sensitive subject matter. This written consent includes the purpose of the use, duration, and any potential sharing with third parties.

Revoking Consent

  • Right to Withdraw Consent

    Individuals featured in the photographs or videos have the right to revoke their consent at any time. To do so, they can contact us using the contact form provided in this Privacy Policy.

  • Effects of Revoking Consent

    If an individual revokes their consent, we will promptly remove the photographs or visual content featuring them from our website and affiliated social media accounts. Please note that we may not be able to permanently remove the content from third-party websites or platforms where it has been shared by others.

Exceptions to Consent

  • Public Events/Public Spaces

    In some cases, photographs or video may be taken at public events, or, in public spaces where there is no reasonable expectation of privacy, such as common areas at conventions/festivals or the floor/auditorium of music venues and other similar event spaces. In such instances, we reserve the right to feature this content without obtaining specific consent from the subject or any bystanders that may be in the background. Individuals or their legal guardians who are subjects in these photos are welcome to reach out and request that we remove any photographs published under this Public Spaces exception.

  • Editorial Use

    We may feature photography or video for editorial purposes, such as news reporting or coverage of developing current events, where obtaining consent is not always possible. We will exercise discretion in these cases and ensure that the use is in line with applicable laws and ethical standards.
