Request consent from individuals by sending a personalized consent form via email directly from your FotoWare. You can also create a QR code for occasions where it isn't possible to send forms via email.
Once a user receives a consent form, they can quickly and easily give their consent via the FotoWare Mobile App, adding personal information, selecting usage rights, and more.
Get a complete overview of who has or has not given consent. Keep track of consent form statuses and usage rights in one central system so you always know where to look.
Tagging images with the employee's name or ID number makes for effortless recording of whom you have images of. You will quickly find the pictures by searching using the tags.
Keep track of whether you have consent to use photos or videos of people in your organization, and easily update when a data subject withdraws consent, at any time (re GDPR Article 7).
Every image can display a visual marker to show the user whether they have permission to use it and where: on social media, the website, in print, or internally and externally.
Save significant amounts of time by letting staff approve their own images quickly and easily. After sharing the images with them, all they have to do is simply select the images they like with just one click of a button!
When a data subject exercises their GDPR right to access, withdraw, or erase, our powerful search feature means that you can be certain of finding every image of that person in your organization's possession.

If a person can be identified from a photo or video, it can be classed as their personal data. This means you have to handle that data in accordance with the GDPR, just like you do for data about your customers or marketing prospects. This can also apply to photos and videos of employees in your organization.
To stay GDPR compliant with images, you must pay careful attention to these three sections of the GDPR:
Article 7 (3) gives data subjects the right to withdraw their consent at any time. Subjects must be fully informed of how to withdraw consent and it should be just as easy as giving consent.
GDPR article 17 enables the data subject to request that an organization erases all the personal data that they have about the data subject.

Essentially, you need to be able to easily find, delete, or change the consent status of any image your company has of your employees.
If you can't reliably manage employee image consent, or you don't have any processes set up, it's likely that your organization is breaching the GDPR regulations for handling your employees' personal data.
