The Belgian law does not allow personal data (names, pictures, addresses, …) to be published online without the formal acceptance of the owner (Private life protection law).
A few weeks ago, my youngest daughter visited a farm with her school and teachers took pictures. They would like to publish a small article on the school website. Today, I received the following authorization request from the school:
 |
Quick translation:
“Dear Parents,
Pictures of your children were taken during their visit at the farm.
Do you agree to see your child pictures published on the school website? (www.xxx.be)
I agree – I do NOT agree
Best Regards, xxx”
Personally, I find this authorization request a very good initiative coming from the school.
I guess the “I agree”|”I do not agree” (“J’autorise…” and “Je n’autorise”) lines were supposed to be links or buttons…
