Judo Federation of Australia Inc. also require the privacy of others to be respected and disallow the use of camera phones, videos and cameras inside changing areas, showers and toilets.
If Judo Federation of Australia Inc. uses an image of a child it will avoid naming or identifying the child or it will, wherever possible, avoid using both the first name and surname. Judo Federation of Australia Inc. will not display personal information such as residential address email address or telephone numbers without gaining consent from the parent/guardian.
