When to use this Authorization Model for Use of Minors' Images in Schools (GDPR 2026)?
15-year-old student in ESO
A school wants to publish a video of a 3rd-year ESO student winning an award. Although traditionally (before 2026) the 15-year-old student could sign their own permission, with the new legislation the school must unavoidably request authorization signed by their legal representatives.
Publication on internal versus external platforms.
A teacher wants to upload photos to Google Workspace for Education for a class project, and the center also wants to upload those same photos to Instagram promoting the activity. The authorization template allows parents to check the box for internal educational platforms but leave the commercial social networks box unchecked, applying the principle of granularity.
Separated parents with shared parental authority.
The educational center organizes an end-of-year excursion. When sending the authorization to upload images to Facebook, the school requires the signature of both separated parents, as the publication exceeds the domestic scope and the Supreme Court requires the consent of both.
Application of the right of revocation.
After a school year, a family decides they no longer want their minor child to appear on the school's open blog. They send an email to the DPO revoking the consent. The school updates its databases (red light) and stops including the child in new photos, although the printed magazines from the past year are not affected.

Frequently asked questions about Authorization Model for Use of Minors' Images in Schools (GDPR 2026)
From what age can a student sign their own authorization for social networks?
Following the regulatory update of 2026 in Spain, the age to validly consent to data processing in the digital environment has been raised to sixteen years. Minors below this age need the signature of their guardians.
Is it valid to include a pre-checked box or assume consent upon enrolling the student?
No. The central principle of consent in the European Union is affirmative action (Opt-in). Silence, pre-checked boxes, or inaction never constitute valid consent.
Can the school use a generic permission to publish on any platform?
No, the authorization must be granular. Parents must have the option to authorize or deny specific channels independently, separating, for example, the school's closed blog from commercial networks like Instagram or TikTok.
What happens if a school publishes photos on networks without the proper authorization?
The center is exposed to severe administrative sanctions by the Spanish Data Protection Agency (AEPD) (for example, fines of 10,000 euros for violating several articles of the RGPD), in addition to facing civil liabilities and compensation for unlawful intrusion.
What happens if an unauthorized student appears in a school group photo?
The school must apply technical editing techniques, such as irreversible pixelation or total blurring of the face and distinctive features, to anonymize the minor and make identification impossible before publishing the image.
How does the revocation of authorization work if parents change their minds?
It is an unconditional right that can be exercised by written notification to the Secretariat or the Data Protection Officer (DPO). The center must cease any future publication immediately, although the revocation does not have retroactive effects on the lawful uses made before the request.
