Photo Consent
Control whether each of your clubs can use photos of you in their communications
Photo Consent
The Photo consent card on your /me/profile page lets you say whether each of your clubs may use photos of you in their communications. Consent is recorded separately for each club — you might be happy for one club to share match photos and prefer another not to.
Why It's Per-Club
Different clubs publish photos for different reasons — match reports, social media posts, newsletters, recruitment materials. The consent each club asks for is theirs to honour, so the decision is recorded per club rather than once for the whole platform. Withdrawing consent for one club has no effect on the others.
Where to Find It
- Go to Profile in your
/mesidebar (or/me/profiledirectly). - Scroll down to the Photo consent card.
The card lists every club you currently belong to. Each row shows the club logo, the club name, and a single switch.
Note: If you don't belong to any clubs, the card doesn't appear — there's nothing to consent to yet.
Granting or Withdrawing Consent
- Switch on to grant photo consent for that club.
- Switch off to withdraw consent.
The change saves immediately — there's no separate Save button. A short toast confirms each change ("Photo consent given for [club]" / "Photo consent withdrawn for [club]"). If something goes wrong, the switch reverts and an error toast tells you.
What Photo Consent Enables
When consent is on, the club may include photos of you in:
- Public-facing communications (newsletters, social posts, match reports).
- Internal club materials shared with members.
- Other forms of club publicity covered by their own privacy policy.
Each club is responsible for explaining exactly how they use photos. If you want detail, ask the club's secretary or check their privacy policy.
When consent is off, the club is expected to leave you out of photo content. Withdrawing consent doesn't retroactively delete photos already published — to remove a specific photo, contact the club directly.
When You'd Use This
Common reasons to update photo consent:
- You've just joined a new club and want to opt in or out from the start.
- You've changed your mind after seeing how the club uses photos.
- You'd rather not appear in social-media posts.
- A child you're a guardian for prefers their photo not be shared (manage their consent on their profile, not yours).
What This Doesn't Cover
- Other consents (e.g. emergency-contact sharing, payment authorisations) live in their own places — see your
/me/profilepage or, for club-specific items, the club's profile page. - Photos of children you guardian — those are a separate consent attached to each child, not to your account.
