Image rights and filmed material

1. Four different permissions

Filming and delivering the material to the client who hired us is one thing. COVI showing excerpts in its portfolio or social media is another. Using it in paid advertising is another. And handing it to a third party is yet another. Each needs its own authorization: having one doesn't grant the others.

Whoever hires us is responsible for having the authorization of the people who appear for the use they will give the material (for example, speakers, guests, attendees or collaborators of their event or content).

2. Our portfolio

We only show photos or excerpts of a project on our website or social media if the client authorized it and, when a person is featured (speaks to camera, gives a testimonial, is interviewed), with that person's authorization. A recorded testimonial is published only with the permission of the person who gives it.

If you appear in something we published and want it removed, write to us: we take it down from our website and social media, no explanation needed. What the client has published on their own channels is up to them; we'll help you contact them.

3. Events

At an event we film the venue, the stage and the audience. We ask whoever hires us to let attendees know there will be cameras (for example, at registration or with signs at the venue) and to tell us who doesn't want to appear.

If you are at an event we film and don't want to appear, tell someone from the COVI team or the organizer: we avoid close-ups of you and, if you still appear, we don't use those shots in our portfolio.

4. Minors

We don't film minors in close-up or as featured subjects without the written authorization of their parents or legal guardians, which the client arranges. We don't publish in our portfolio material in which a minor is identifiable without that authorization.

5. Who owns what

Who can use the finished material and for what is set in the proposal and the service agreement for each project. Having the files is not the same as holding the copyright: each party may use the material as that agreement says.

Third-party music, fonts and images we use come with their license, for the agreed use.

6. How to ask

To ask us to remove something, ask about an authorization or let us know you don't want to appear, write to team@covimedia.com or fill in the «My data» form.
