How GDPR impacts your organization's use of images

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:

The Right to Withdrawal

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.

Right of Access

GDPR article 15 ensures that all data subjects have the right to obtain confirmation and information from the data processor about their use of the subject's personal data.

Right to Erasure (or the Right to be Forgotten)

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.
