Photo policy
At SRUC, we regularly capture photos and videos at our events and on campus to showcase our community and promote our institution. We are committed to respecting your privacy and ensuring that all photography and filming activities comply with UK GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation).
Where and how we capture images
Photos and videos may be taken at SRUC events, open days, graduation ceremonies, and around campus.
These images may be used for marketing, social media, promotional materials, and internal communications.
We strive to take photos that highlight the positive experiences of our students, staff, and visitors.
Your rights and opting out
If you do not wish to be photographed or filmed, please inform the photographer or a member of staff on the day.
At larger events, signage will be displayed to notify attendees that photography and filming are taking place.
If you see an image of yourself on SRUC’s official channels that you would like removed, please contact us at Communications@sruc.ac.uk.

Consent & GDPR compliance
Group shots and wider crowd images, where individuals are not the main focus, will be considered as part of SRUC’s legitimate interests under GDPR.
We will ask for your consent before taking any posed photographs.
Images of children or vulnerable individuals will only be used with appropriate parental or guardian consent.
How long do we keep your data for?
Image data may be retained in perpetuity as historical and archival records of SRUC.
Where image data is determined to be not appropriate for these purposes, it will be securely destroyed.
