Welcome to The Vine Church Dunfermline! We appreciate your involvement in our church community and value your trust in us. We often capture moments at our church events through photographs and video to share our journey and connect with others. In compliance with data protection laws and to ensure the safety and privacy of all individuals, we kindly request your consent for the use of photographs and video images of both adults and children within our church activities and communications.

Purpose of Photography

We use photographs and video images for various purposes, including:

• Sharing Our Church Community: We want to provide a glimpse of our church life and share the joyous moments we experience together.
• Communication Tool: Our website and social media platforms serve as vital tools for keeping our church community informed about our activities and accomplishments.

Consent for Children/Youth

Under data protection law, we require the consent of parents/guardians for the use of photographs or video images of children and youth until they reach the age of 13. After the age of 13, children and youth have the right to withdraw their consent if previously given by a parent or guardian.

Consent Options

Please review and select your preferences regarding the use of photographs and video images of your child or youth in form below.

Please note that you are not obligated to give consent, and we respect your choices. If you choose not to give consent for any of the options, we will ensure that your child’s photo or video is not used for those purposes if your child can be identified from it.

We recommend discussing your consent choices with your child if you decide not to give consent for any of the options.

Withdrawal of Consent

You have the right to withdraw or modify your consent at any time. To do so, please email the office at mail@thevinechurch.net. If you withdraw consent for the use of your child’s photo, we will promptly cease using it in the specified manner.

Respect for Privacy

To ensure the safety and privacy of everyone who attends our church services and events, we kindly request that parents and carers refrain from photographing or recording without express permission from The Vine Church. Your cooperation helps us maintain a secure and respectful environment.

Thank you for your understanding and support in this matter. If you have any questions or concerns regarding photography consent, please do not hesitate to contact us at mail@thevinechurch.net. We look forward to continuing to build a vibrant and connected church community together.
