Participants tick each use of their image or data — photo, video, channel — confirm with a typed signature name and date, kept as your consent trail.
Quick answer
Use it whenever you photograph or film participants: each permitted use — photo or video, report, website, social, press, and duration — is ticked separately and confirmed with a typed name and date, giving you a consent trail you can point back to. It records agreement; it is not an e-signature with assumed legal force.
A camera at a community event asks two questions: what may be taken, and where may it go. This consent form makes both explicit — image type (photo/video), usage channels (report, website, social, press), and duration — each accepted as its own tick, then confirmed with a typed signature name and date. The trail stays attached to the event so anyone can answer, months later, exactly what was agreed. It records agreement; it is not an e-signature with assumed legal force.
