Photography Policy

In order to respect the privacy of all Sun Devil Fitness facility members, still and video photography in the facility is prohibited without approval from the Sun Devil Fitness facility manager on duty, or from a member of the professional staff. Taking photos or video of individuals without their consent is prohibited and is cause for immediate removal from Sun Devil Fitness facilities and possible suspension of Sun Devil Fitness membership.

Photography approval may be granted for personal and/or academic non-commercial use provided consent has been granted by the individual(s) being photographed, including individuals that may appear in the background. The taking, capturing, or recording of any and all photography, audio, or video of any kind in the men’s and women’s locker rooms and restrooms is strictly prohibited.

If a facility manager suspects the use of inappropriate photography, that manager has a right to enforce standard removal policies.

Media Access

Members of the media are allowed in Sun Devil Fitness facilities with prior authorization from professional staff members. The media organization must contact the respective professional staff at the respective campus facility to obtain approval for media access. Media access is defined as media obtained for use by a media outlet. Proper usage includes published materials produced by the media outlet.

Commercial Access

Commercial access is only allowed as permitted by Arizona State University. The organization seeking commercial access should see the ASU Communication Guide for more information about obtaining permission to use ASU facilities for commercial use.
