A note about Photography
Every time we leave our homes we are captured on camera, starting with our neighbours' security cameras then street, shop and other commercial CCTV. It is estimated that this is up to 70 times a day* as there are between 4 million and 5.9 million cameras operating in the UK.
If you pose for a photo at a u3a event then the photo is owned by the person taking the photo (copyright) and if the photo is to be used in our newsletter or on our website, it is assumed this is done with your consent. If, however, a photo is taken at an event or venue, and you just happen to be in it, then it is as if you are going about your business in the street in the normal course of your life. You, of course, have the right to tell the person taking the photograph that you wish to be excluded from it.
Any photos on this website that include people posing have been used in good faith. We believe that agreement has been received by those concerned either directly or via the owner of the photo. If you see yourself posing on one of the photos on this website and want the photo removed then please contact the Website Manager and this will be done.
