From time to time students, staff, faculty and guests at Simon Fraser University may be photographed in non-public areas (i.e. classrooms, private offices, in studio, meeting rooms, etc.) by University photographers. In this notice "photography" includes still, video and film photography. The University has the authority under the University Act (R.S.B.C. 1996, c.468, s. 27(4) (a)), to collect personal information in the form of photographs. Such photographs are related directly to and needed by the University for educational, recruitment and promotional purposes. The photographs may be used and disclosed at the University's discretion and included in the University calendar, websites, newsletters, bulletins, brochures, advertisements, annual reports, supplements, displays, reports and other publications including off-campus news media. As a university resource, copies of photos taken by Creative Services are also made available to SFU's office of Public Affairs and Media Relations. That office may use the photos, in part or in whole, to support and promote the university's interests and to enhance its reputation.

In addition, the photograph may be placed in the University's Image Library which is a collection of photographs available for sale. If you do not wish to be photographed in a non-public area, please inform the photographer before he/she begins taking photographs. If you allow yourself to be photographed in a non-public area you are giving the University your consent regarding its collection, use and disclosure of the photograph.

The above notice does not apply to individuals photographed in open, public areas where there is no expectation of privacy (i.e. Convocation Mall, cafeterias, public walkways, concourses, etc.). Photographs taken in public areas may be used and disclosed at the University's discretion.

If you have any questions about photography on campus or the University's collection, use and disclosure of photographs, please contact the Manager, Creative Services (CS) at 778-782-3092.
