Photo Policy

In the interests of protecting the privacy and rights of all club members and particularly our younger players (under 18yrs), Knox United SC has adopted the following policies and guidelines when publishing images or text on the web.

When registering, all members agree to the Terms and Conditions of the Club one of which states  "We grant the Club the right to publish photographs of the player for purposes of marketing and/or promotion of club activities provided that these photos do not include any personal details of any player. If a player's name is to be used, then prior authorisation will be obtained from the parent or guardian" 

Photographs or images submitted to Knox United SC with the intention of making them accessible on the website will be carefully examined to ensure that they are appropriate and will not attract any negative attention before being made available on the website. 

Images of minors (under 18yrs): No personal information (e.g. names, addresses, contact numbers, email addresses) will accompany photographs/images on the Knox United SC website. All images of junior players (i.e. under 18yrs) will be captioned with basic information about the game only (e.g. under 12's Knox United SC versus Dandenong,12th November). In accompanying articles players may be identified using their first name only where permission from a parent/guardian has been obtained.

Images of players 18yrs and older: Name or game information (e.g. Knox United SC versus Dandenong) will be used as captions for images of players 18 years or older.

Where images identify players by name, formal permission is required. Unless otherwise formally advised, the Knox United SC does not endorse or take responsibility for any individual who photographs or captures video footage of players, officials and other members of the public.

Knox United SC advises all individuals who intend to take photographs and/or videos of games involving Knox United SC players to obtain consent from the relevant coach/team manager. It is advised that individuals also obtain permission from opposition coaches/team managers. Knox United SC does not take responsibility for individuals who fail to adhere to this guideline.

Images and photos may not be copied or downloaded without permission of the Knox United SC. Knox United SC does not take responsibility for inappropriate use of images or footage obtained during the course of games involving Knox United SC teams, or for images downloaded from the internet. Permission given to publish images on the Knox United SC can only be revoked in writing.
