Our Strictest Code Of Ethics
It is hard to trust anyone, especially around children. As a member of the Sports & Event Photographers Society, Wanamaker Photography had pledged to operate our business within the guidelines of the Strictest Code Of Ethics.
These guidelines, created by the Sports & Event Photographers Society, help promote a safe and friendly environment for the children of our clients. They also help ensure the protection of confidential customer information as well as our business conduct with sponsors and league boards. More importantly, the Strictest Code Of Ethics requires that all staff photographers for Wanamaker Photography pass a criminal background check.
The following is a full list of the guidelines:
- Respect the privacy of children and those who do not wish their images to be subject to E- commerce, and immediately remove such images upon request of the customer.
- Conduct background checks on all employees and contractors to help ensure the safety of young customers.
- Perform all due diligence in the protection, backup, and archiving of images to protect them from untimely loss.
- Protect the confidentiality of customer data entrusted to you, not disclosing this information to others not directly involved with the project, nor using this information for any other purpose not expressly approved by the customer. Please read our Privacy Policy for more information on this subject.
- Conduct all business dealings with sponsors in a spirit of full financial transparency and provide, upon request, a full and written accounting for all images sold over the term specified so that paid commissions may be independently verified.
- Disclose to all sponsors—in advance and in writing—the method by which sponsor fundraising commissions and rebates due are calculated and paid, so that they may be individually analyzed and compared to our offers.
- Refrain from offering or providing excessive personal inducements to influence decision-makers concerning the award of contracts or assignments.
- Respect, in word and deed, the competitive nature of the business and do not defame others engaged in business.
- Provide the highest level of customer service and resolve consumer complaints and dissatisfaction with speed and fairness.
- Conduct business with honesty, integrity, and the utmost professionalism at all times.
- Images of children must be password protected.
- A child’s name, age, school, home address, e-mail, phone number and any other personal contact information cannot be listed with the image online.
