While your new camera phone provides you with the flexibility to make a phone call and instantly take and transmit a photo, AMTA encourages you to use this device responsibly.
AMTA recommends the following consumer tips. Camera users (“users”) should always respect the privacy of others.
-
Users should always respect areas considered “private” by those who use them, for example: bathrooms, changing rooms, and gym locker rooms.
-
Users should always respect the sensitivity of many office and industrial environments where the viewing of proprietary materials is a concern.
-
Users should respect areas of photographic sensitivity, for example: museums, movie theatres and live performances.
-
Camera phones should not be used to take photos of individuals without their knowledge and consent. Special discretion is advised when using your camera phone to take photos of persons under 18 years of age.
-
Do not use camera phones while operating a motor vehicle. It is also illegal to send messages which would be regarded as harassing, menacing or otherwise offensive.
-
Users should be aware that some organisations ban the use of camera phones in some areas.
