Ask HN: Did you sign a Photo Release Waiver?
I'm working on a project aimed at assisting companies and employees in the rights management of photo content - specifically, how they collect, distribute, and protect photos of individuals to mitigate risks such as litigation, deep fakes, and unauthorized use.
In this context, I'm keen to gather insights into the real-world handling of photo release waivers in the workplace:
Have you, as an employee, ever signed a photo release waiver? Could you share the circumstances (e.g., for company marketing, website representation, etc.)?
Who in your organization is responsible for collecting these waivers? Is it HR, legal, or another department?
Additionally, how does your company ensure the proper use and protection of these images once collected?
Your experiences and insights are invaluable to my project, providing real-world perspectives on current practices and challenges. I'm particularly interested in understanding both the employee and employer perspectives on this matter.
Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts and experiences!
