A new page has just gone up, which contains a PDF of our Permissions Letter
Descendants who are sending images and histories, please would you also attach a Permissions Letter. If you are unable to download it from the website, please Contact us and we will send you a copy.
From May 2018 all websites will come under a new legislative framework, which includes digital copyright, so we thought we should get ahead of the curve on this and comply from the start.
It may seem a bit formal, and we wish we didn’t have to ask, but everything from FaceBook to the BBC online, to Netflix will be under the same constraints by the middle of next year. Like most people, you probably already click ‘accept’ on most of these sites without even reading the terms and conditions …
Anyway – the letter simply states that you own the images and that you are happy for them to be posted on this website. It gives the website permission to publish the documents and histories.
As it says on the letter and on our Data page, if at any point, for any reason, you decide you want images taken down again, we will of course comply with your wishes.
We’re just a group of ‘Kitchener Kids’ – the same as you – and we want people to be comfortable with their choices.
