Photography and Videography
By attending an Enactus South Africa event, you consent to being photographed and/or recorded. Images, audio, or video captured may be used for marketing, media, training, and reporting purposes across print, digital, and social media platforms.
These materials may include:
- Group photos and crowd scenes
- Interviews, highlight reels, or behind-the-scenes content
- Footage used in promotions or archival documentation
Please note:
- This consent is irrevocable for past and publicly released material.
- You may not request the removal or deletion of images or videos captured lawfully at events and used in group or program media.
- Withdrawal of consent only applies to future content collection or use, and must be made in writing to: [email protected]
Use of Media by Event Attendees
Enactus South Africa events are dynamic, public spaces where photos and videos are regularly captured for both official and community use. By attending, you acknowledge and accept that:
These materials may include:
- Event media may be shared by fellow attendees on personal social media platforms or digital portfolios. This may include group images, crowd scenes, or background appearances in which you may appear.
- These posts are not governed by Enactus South Africa but reflect the personal expression and community spirit of participants.
- You are encouraged to repost, tag, or use group images that include you to grow your personal brand and showcase your Enactus journey — provided this is done respectfully and in line with the values and dignity of the Enactus network.
- Once content is publicly shared by Enactus or other attendees, you may not request deletion or editing of such content retroactively, especially where you appear as part of a group or in general event footage.
- You may only request removal of content if it is clearly defamatory or harmful.
By registering for or participating in Enactus South Africa events, you consent to this use and understand that your image may appear in shared or published content.
Changes to this Policy
We may update this privacy policy periodically to comply with new laws or improve clarity. Continued use of our services after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.
