6 Right to One's Own Image

General

Every identifiably depicted person has a fundamental right to their own image. This means that recordings may only be distributed or publicly displayed with the consent of the person depicted.

Group Photos

For group photos, the following applies: if people appear only as incidental figures alongside a landscape or other location, or if the images depict gatherings or similar events in which the depicted persons participated, no consent is required.

Public Events

At public events, please note:

• Persons attending the event must expect to be photographed.
• However, the same rule applies: individual shots of a person should not be shared publicly without their consent.
• Particular care should be taken when publishing photos on social media.

Private Events

At private events such as weddings or company celebrations:

• The organiser may establish rules for photography.
• Consent may be given implicitly if the photo wall is clearly identifiable as such.
• However, caution is advised and explicit consent is generally required when sharing or publishing images.

Withdrawal

Every person has the right to withdraw their consent and request the deletion of images. This request must generally be complied with.
