#WhyAreYourRecordingMe? – Respecting privacy and personal data protection at private events

Today I want to discuss an important issue in the digital age: privacy and data protection at private events.
It’s the season of events of all kinds: from coming of age to weddings and christenings. Let’s take a look at why it’s crucial to make sure we respect these fundamental rights and understand a few solid reasons why we need to be careful when live-streaming a private event.

First and foremost, private events are special times when people come together to celebrate, have fun and connect in an intimate and trusted setting. As stated, these can be birthday parties, weddings or small get-togethers with friends.Some of the events I attended were attended by celebrities, public figures.
It is important to recognize that participants expect to enjoy a personal and protected space on these occasions. Respecting the right to privacy means that we need to be cognizant of that privacy and not violate that private sphere by live-streaming the event.
Secondly, the protection of personal data is a crucial issue in today’s digital world. Everyone has the right to control information about themselves and to decide how and when that information is used. When livestreaming a private event, we may unwittingly expose sensitive data, such as participants’ faces, names or locations, without their consent. This is a clear violation of their right to data protection. It is therefore essential to be responsible and obtain explicit consent from those involved before sharing any personal information on social networks.
Let’s not forget the negative consequences of live-streaming a private event. This can lead to unintentional exposure to security risks, harassment or even abuse. Imagine how you would feel if you found out that images or personal information about you had been broadcast live without your consent. In order to avoid such unpleasant situations, it is important to consider the welfare and comfort of others and not to live stream private events without the explicit consent of the participants.

So, my dears, it is crucial to be aware of the importance of respecting the right to privacy and the protection of personal data at private events. By respecting the privacy and confidentiality of others, we will strengthen our social relationships and contribute to a safer and friendlier online environment. Always remember that every individual has the right to control their own privacy and decide how their personal information is used.
