Photo Release

If a participant, patron, or the parents or guardians of individuals under the age of 18 do not wish to be photographed, recorded, or have their name or personal information associated with any such recording, they are required to email info@williams-syndrom.org.

Individuals who have opted-out should also take responsibility for either relocating themselves from areas where photography or recording is taking place or informing the camera operator of their opt-out status. Failing to do so may lead to their unintentional inclusion in a photograph or recording, and this will be considered as consent for the use of such materials.

Please note that images and videos taken in public spaces and/or at public events do not require authorization for publication. Your presence in or around events at public venues and/or properties, constitutes your consent to the capture and/or use of your image and/or voice. This waives any claims or rights, whether in law or in equity.

When an opt-out email is on file, the WSA will make every effort to honor that individual's Opt-Out status, even in public spaces or at public events.

I have read and understood this Agreement.
