PURPOSE AND USE OF VIDEOS/PHOTOGRAPHS

The organized event is of a public nature; therefore, any personal data that may be collected through photographic images or audio-video recordings will be primarily aimed at and instrumental to documenting the event. For this purpose, they will be disseminated through the most commonly used communication means today, such as the Owner’s website and social networks (Facebook, YouTube, etc.).

The images collected will therefore be primarily focused on the environmental context in which the public event takes place, taking care not to capture the faces of those present in the foreground or frontally but with angles that limit the recognizability of the subjects and/or taken from a long distance.

It should be noted that pursuant to Art. 97 of Law 633/1941 “Consent of the portrayed person is not required when the reproduction of the image is justified by the notoriety or public office covered (…), for scientific, educational, or cultural purposes, or when the reproduction is connected to facts, events, ceremonies of public interest or held in public.” Therefore, consent will not be required from the data subject captured in photographic or video images taken in places and spaces where public university events are held (conferences, press conferences, workshops, public outreach meetings, and orientation initiatives, etc., also held at non-university locations such as municipal halls, public spaces, etc.). It is indeed reasonable to believe that participants in a sporting, social, or nationally relevant scientific congress are well aware, if not even satisfied, of the probability of being portrayed and that such data processing takes place for the purpose of dissemination and promotion of the event itself as part of the organizer’s activities.

It has also been verified that there is a relevant and appropriate relationship between the data subject and the data controller, constituted by the purchase of the entrance ticket or registration for the event and the consequent appointment of the data subject as a participant (see Recital 47 GDPR).

Given this condition, it is possible to invoke, as the legal basis of the processing, the legitimate interest of the operator which does not require the consent of the data subject.
