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 Link magazine, on our website, or elsewhere in u3a (or even published outside of u3a) then you should be asked if this is OK. If, however, a photo is taken at an event or venue and you just happen to be around then it is as if you are going about your business in the street in the normal course of your life. 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. There are hundreds of photos on this website and if you see yourself posing on any one of them and did not give your permission for this and want the photo removed then please contact the Website Editor and this will be done.
