Filming & Recording Notice

This notice is for players, officials and spectators at events that BROWNZ MEDIA SERVICES LTD ("Brownz Media") covers. It's written in plain English so you know what to expect. For the full detail, see our Privacy Policy.

What we do

We film, live-stream and record snooker, pool and darts matches and produce broadcast scoreboards and highlight clips. Our live streams and clips are typically published on platforms such as YouTube, Facebook, Instagram and TikTok, and may be used to promote our work and the sport.

Will I be on camera?

Our cameras are focused on the table and the action, but players, officials and members of the audience can appear in shot — and in the recordings and clips we publish afterwards. These events are public-facing by their nature.

Why we're allowed to film

We rely on our legitimate interests in running a sports-broadcasting business and promoting the game. The venue or event organiser is responsible for letting attendees know that filming is taking place — which is what this notice is for.

If you'd rather not appear

• Let the event organiser or a member of the Brownz Media crew know on the day, and we'll do our best to keep you out of shot.
• If you've already been filmed and want us to remove footage in which you can be identified, email phil@brownzmedia.co.uk with the event and date.
• We will consider every reasonable request. Please bear in mind we can't always pull back footage that has already gone out live, or that other people have re-shared on their own channels.

Children

Where an event involves players or spectators under 18, we work with the organiser and venue, who are responsible for informing attendees and obtaining any parental consents needed. Parents and guardians with a concern can contact us at phil@brownzmedia.co.uk at any time.

Your rights

You have rights over your personal data, including the right to object to footage in which you appear. Our Privacy Policy explains these in full and how to exercise them, including your right to complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO).

For organisers and venues

If you're hosting an event we're covering, please display a filming notice and let attendees know. You're welcome to print or link to this page, or ask us for signage wording. Your responsibilities are set out in our Terms & Booking Conditions.
