It is assumed, however, that the interests of Th. Geyer GmbH & Co. KG in the taking and use of photos will not excessively interfere with the rights and freedoms of natural persons, especially because they have entered the public space, the fact that photos would be taken and used was communicated in advance and at the event, and when taking and publishing the photos it is ensured that no justified interests of the people depicted are violated. If the rights and freedoms of a person depicted are violated under particularly extenuating circumstances, however, we will prevent further processing using suitable measures. Deletion cannot take place in printed media that have already been published. Deletion will take place on the website or on social media channels where technically possible.
