Can Someone Record You Without Your Permission? What You NEED To Know!

When we posted a 60 second video giving the answer to the question of, 'can someone record you without your permission?' across our social media channels, it very quickly, and unsurprisingly got over 100,000 views, simply because the answer to this question is full of myths and is unknown to many.

Like it or loath it, we are living in a digital age and recording and posting videos has become a massive part of every-day life; No matter how old you are, and at what stage of your life you are in, with over 98% of our population owning a smartphone, the temptation is always high to instantaneously record and share something funny, entertaining or shocking. TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and other popular platforms are crowded with video recordings, good, bad and indifferent.

But is it illegal for someone to record you, and to post, forward or to use that recording without your permission? What can be deemed as your consent, and what steps can you take if you do not want a recording of you to be posted or shared?

In this informative episode, we debunk the jargon, as Hatti Suvari and senior Barrister Tim Sampson bring you interesting, insightful and jargon free information, specifically covering 'individuals' recording other individuals, as always, in plain and simple English.
