Photo Policy
Photo Policy


Introduction
Event photos/videos are used as a means of informing the entire International Wine & Food Society, Toronto Branch (hereafter known as the IW&FS) and larger IW&FS community, of IW&FS Toronto Branch events, meetings, or tours.
Policy
All recording, videotaping, and photographing, including digital photography, by any means — including but not limited to cell phone — involving IW&FS Toronto Branch members and their guests will be related to IW&FS events and/or extra-curricular activities.
No video recording or photographing, including digital photography, will be used for commercial purposes. Exceptions to this policy are large public events, such as vineyard tours, events, presentations, etc., and images as collected by news media organizations, which are beyond our control.
Video programs may be edited and broadcast to the IW&FS community on the IWFSToronto.org website or in IW&FS publications.
As a member, you understand that all videotaping and/or photographing, including digital photography, done by IW&FS members can be utilized for educational and event enrichment, or for IW&FS community information purposes, and will not be commercially aired or distributed. As a member, you understand that no associated confidential, registry, or member records information will be released in recorded, video, or photographic form.
As a member, you give permission to be included in event-related recording, videotaping, and photographing, including digital photography, of IW&FS activities. All recording/videotaping/photography will be related to IW&FS sponsored events only.
It is also understood that IW&FS members or personnel may edit and prepare video productions using commercially available or personal video and computer equipment.
Member Requested Deletion
Should any image be not to your liking or complementary, it will be removed from the IW&FS website within 10 business days of the receipt of a written request. This action by the IW&FS Toronto Branch will preclude any further legal recourse against the society, its members and/or its Board of Directors at the time in question of publication on the IW&FS website (iwfstoronto.org).
