When you step in front of our camera, the photos we create are more than a product, they are personal. They capture your athlete, your journey, your effort and your identity.
Those images belong to you, and you deserve complete clarity and confidence about how they are handled and protected. At GameFace GB we take that responsibility seriously. Many photography companies still follow outdated practices that blur the lines around ownership, usage rights and privacy. Our approach is different because we believe every family, every athlete and every parent should know exactly what their rights are and how we protect them.
This is not simply about delivering great photos, it is about respecting your trust. When you understand your rights and how we safeguard them, you feel more confident and more comfortable with the entire experience. Below is a clear and transparent breakdown of how we protect your images, your privacy and your control at every stage.
1. You Own Your Digital Files After Purchase
Once you purchase your images, they are yours. You can print them, share them, post them online, turn them into posters or use them as you wish for personal use. We do not restrict your personal usage, and we do not require licensing fees for normal sharing. When you buy your images, you gain full personal rights without hidden conditions.
What this means for you:
-
You do not need to ask permission to post your photos online
-
You can print your images anywhere you choose
-
You can store, back up and use them without time limits
-
You have full personal control once the files are downloaded
Your photos should work for you, not against you, and we make sure they do.
2. We Never Use Public Galleries
Public galleries allow anyone to browse, screenshot or view images that do not belong to them. This removes control from families and exposes athletes unnecessarily. We refuse to use this system because your privacy and your child’s privacy must come first. Every gallery we create is strictly private and belongs only to the athlete photographed.
Our private galleries are:
-
Password protected
-
Accessible only through private links
-
Separated by athlete, not by team or event
-
Secured against unauthorised browsing or discovery
You choose who sees your photos, not us and not the public.
3. We Do Not Share Your Images Without Permission
Many photography companies reuse client images for marketing without ever asking. We do not. We request explicit permission before using any athlete’s photo in our portfolio, advertising or social channels. If you do not give permission, the photo remains private forever.
You can always say no, and your decision will always be respected. Permission is optional, reversible and completely in your control.
4. We Protect Your Data With Industry Level Security
Your gallery, downloads, personal details and image files are stored using secure systems that prioritise privacy. This protects you not only from unauthorised access, but from accidental exposure or technical mishandling.
Our system includes:
-
Encrypted hosting
-
Private access tokens
-
Locked download links
-
Secure backup storage
-
Strict internal privacy policies
-
No selling or sharing of your data
Your photos and information stay inside a protected environment from start to finish.
5. You Are Never Forced To Buy Bundles You Do Not Want
Your rights also extend to fairness in pricing. Many companies hide your favourite images inside expensive bundles or force families into large packages just to access a single photo. We never do this. You pay only for what you want, and your rights to that image remain fully intact.
This ensures that:
-
You are never pressured into unnecessary spending
-
You maintain full freedom over your choices
-
You decide how many images you want, not us
Respecting your rights also means respecting your budget.
6. We Provide Clear Information About Usage Rights
We believe clarity builds trust, so we explain your rights in simple language. You always know exactly what you can do with your photos and how we protect them. There are no hidden clauses, no confusing license terms and no small print that limits your usage.
You will always know:
-
What you own
-
What you can use
-
What we can use
-
How your data is stored
-
How long your images remain available
-
How you can request removal or deletion
Transparency is a part of your protection.
Conclusion
Your sports photos represent meaningful moments, proud achievements and the personal identity of your athlete. These images deserve strong protection, clear rights and a company that respects both the subject and the family behind every photo. At GameFace GB we believe that privacy, ownership and transparency are just as important as lighting, editing and creativity. By refusing public galleries, enforcing strict privacy controls, providing full personal rights after purchase and being honest about how your images are used, we give you the peace of mind you deserve. Your photos should always feel safe, personal and fully yours. This is our promise, and it is built into every stage of our process, from the moment we take the picture to the moment you download your final image.
