Current regulations differentiate between two types of images: Those where people are the main focus of the picture and those where activities are the main focus.

Where people are the main focus of the picture you must always have permission from all those person who, directly or indirectly, can be identified on the images before you forward them to someone or publish them.

If the situation or activity depicted constitutes the main focus of the photo and the persons on the photo are less important, the photo may be published without permission, provided it is not offensive or harmful to the persons depicted.

You must therefore remember: To ask permission and be given an explicit YES every time before you share pictures of one or more specific persons, to be sure that you don't do anything wrong. But a yes given once does not last forever. If the person in question changes his or her mind later on, it is your duty to help remove the picture.
