ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

The prohibition requires affirmative permission from the person depicted or recorded, meaning absence of objection is insufficient; users must have consent before using another person's likeness or voice.

Interpretive note: The excerpt does not define 'permission' (e.g., written, oral, implied) or address how permission is to be demonstrated. The claim is limited to what the language states.
