Use of the COPE logo

We place strict control on the use of the COPE logo and it is not permitted to imply membership of COPE, or to display the COPE logo on your website or in any printed materials, before any application for membership has been accepted. The COPE logo is unique to each member and contains the membership ID number and the year they became a member of COPE.

Photography and copyright

Photography and filming may take place at our events, in person or online. Where we have obtained consent from attendees for use of their images (in accordance with our Privacy policy) COPE will hold the copyright for such images/video and may reuse them on its website or printed materials. This means that if you would like to reuse these, even if you are in the image/video, you must ask us for consent to do so. In line with GDPR, attendees have the right to withdraw consent at any time, and details of the process they should follow to request this are provided in our Privacy Policy.
