9. Updates to This Policy
We may update this policy from time to time to reflect changes to our practices. The latest version will always be available on our website with the effective date clearly noted.
10. Photos, Videos and Media Consent
Pop Star Parties may take photos or short video clips during events only with prior consent from the booking parent/guardian. These may be used to capture party memories or, with permission, for marketing purposes.
We respect privacy, and media usage is handled as follows:
How we use photos/videos (with consent):
-
Shared privately with the booking parent after the party
-
Featured on our website or social media pages
-
Included in business advertising or promotional material
-
Used for internal training or business documentation
Your rights:
-
You may opt out entirely from photos/videos at any time
-
No identifying information (children’s names, locations, or schools) will be shared publicly
-
We will never post photos/videos without consent
-
You may request removal of an image or video at any time by emailing hello@popstarparties.com.au
How consent works:
-
The booking parent is asked to complete a Photo/Media Consent form at the time of booking
-
Other attending parents are given the opportunity to opt-out via the party invitation template provided
-
Our staff are trained to identify and exclude children who are not to be photographed
All media is stored securely and only accessed by authorised personnel.
