All public events, including car
shows, are newsworthy events. Some forms of media choose
to cover events with a large number of words and a small
selection of images. At AutoClubs.Ca, we choose to
present these events primarily in image format, with few
words. They say a picture says a thousand words, and
that certainly holds true for the vast majority of auto
events.
Because these are indeed newsworthy
events, this opens any participants to documentation,
either in text or image. That being said, it's certainly
not our intent to offend anyone or draw attention to any
specific individuals (with some noted celebrity or
organizer/sponsor exceptions). We try as best we can to
avoid capturing anyone's image when covering our events.
Again, with noted exceptions. Most captures of an
individual's distinctive features are accidental, and
are not the focus of the image.
Vehicles entered into a public event
are subject to any media coverage as part of a
newsworthy event. Anyone with concerns about not wishing
their vehicle to be documented in any fashion is urged
to reconsider their choice to enter it in a newsworthy
event. The recording of licence plates and personal
information (such as a display sign showing owner's
name) is incidental, and not the intended focus of the
image. Any individuals with concerns about this
information being public is urged to take steps to avoid
doing so where possible. Licence plates are easy and in
most cases legal to cover when attending an event of
public interest on private property. Avoiding personal
information on signs is also recommended if you have
these concerns. Remember, it's just as easy for someone
attending the show to record that information as it is
for them to obtain it from a low resolution image on our
site.
In cases where such information does
become visible on our site, we respect anyone's wishes
not to have personal information or license plate
numbers visible. If you find an image of your vehicle on
our site that incidentally captured such information and
is visible (and you do not wish it to be), please
contact us, and we will alter the image so that
information is no longer visible. Please include the
specific information such as; year, date, and name of
event(s), image number (displayed at top of page
presenting full sized image), make, model, & colour of
vehicle (for verification). If at all possible, please
include complete URL to the image in question. Please
also include contact information for verification
purposes.
This applies only to incidental
capture of written personal information and licence
plates, or the very rare occasion that we may capture a
specific individuals image as the focus of the picture.
For more consideration, we leave you
with this; One cannot have a reasonable expectation of
privacy in regards to information and/or items put on
public display in a public and newsworthy event. So if
you have this concern, it's simply best to avoid making
public any information you do not want recorded
journalistically.
