Can people share photos and video about me without my permission?

If the club or association organising your hobby wants to publish photos of participants on its social media channel or website, it must ask permission from the people in the photo. Photos and video can be published if you have given your permission for it. If the club has published a photo or video that you do not want online, you can ask them to take it down.

If necessary, the Office of the Data Protection Ombudsman can order the hobby organiser to take the photos or video of you down from the internet. In some cases, the Data Protection Ombudsman can also order a coach to delete photos they have published on their own social media account.

You can take photos and video for your own use and post them on social media. It is always fair to ask the people in the photos or video for permission before posting them. If you record a video of yourself and your team mates in training and want to post it on your own social media accounts, you can agree about it between yourselves.
