At Harmony SDA Church (“Harmony”) we value the way in which photos,
videos and other media help our faith community grow and flourish.
Photos and videos tell our story, provide visitors information and an
idea of what to expect when they attend our worship services and events,
highlight the work of those who serve, and allow us to communicate our
mission as a church for people who don’t go to church via our website
and other digital and print media.
Accordingly, photography, videography, live streaming and other
recording may be in progress at Harmony’s Saturday services, ministry
activities, classes, programs and other events. Harmony may use the
media recorded at these events in materials produced by or for the
church, including but not limited to our bulletins, posters, brochures,
newsletters and other printed and electronic materials, digital media
(e.g., Harmony’s website, Facebook and other social media sites).
By participating in Harmony services, ministry activities, classes,
programs and events:
(i) you consent to be photographed, videotaped or otherwise recorded;
(ii) you grant your permission for Harmony to use recordings
containing your image, likeness, voice or statements, without
compensation, credit or other consideration to you, for Harmony’s
promotional, publicity and other purposes, throughout the world and in
perpetuity; and
(iii) you agree to release, hold harmless and
indemnify Harmony from any and all liabilities and claims involving
the use of your image, likeness, voice or statements. While we reserve
the right to photograph and record church events, we strive to ensure
that photography and videography are used in safe and positive
ways.
We will not knowingly and intentionally post any photo, video or other
recording that would be embarrassing, objectionable or hurtful to any
clearly, personally identifiable individual in the recording.
Additionally, if you see a photo on Harmony website or social media page
(e.g., Facebook) that includes you or your child and would like it
removed, please contact Harmony, at
info@harmonysdachurch.org.
Please note we cannot
remove your image from previously printed material, video or live stream
messages. Please understand that Harmony has no control over the
recording, use and posting of images or other media by non-church staff
(e.g., by community members, news outlets) and no ability to remove such
media from publications, including internet or social media sites, that
are not run by Harmony.
