Right to one's own image

What does Right to one's own image?

The Right to one's own image stems from the general right to privacy (Art. 1, 2 of the German Basic Law) and ensures that every person can decide for themselves whether they wish to be recognizably depicted in a photograph or video. Since, at least in the case of digital photographs and videos, personal data is not only the Art Copyright Actbut also the GDPR to note.

Practical example

One affected Person makes use of their Right to one's own image and contacts the person responsible, who will take the appropriate steps.
