Context
Describe the type of gathering, group size only when verified, and the capture/reveal setup.
Participation · consent · evidence
A shared reveal starts with individual choice.
A delayed photo ritual can be fun only when guests understand what is happening, can opt out without friction and remain in control of later uses of their image.
1. Explain the capsule before capture
The organiser should state who created the capsule, when capture ends, when the group expects to reveal it and who is invited. Guests should understand that photos cannot be previewed inside the experience before reveal. Surprising someone with the concept after photographs have already been taken is not informed participation.
2. Make opting out practical
A guest should be able to say no without leaving the gathering or repeatedly explaining the decision. Organisers can identify no-photo areas, remind photographers to ask before close portraits and provide a non-photographic way to take part in the moment.
Consent to attend, join a capsule or appear in one frame does not automatically cover every photo, public posting or commercial reuse.
3. Set safe capture boundaries
- Do not take images in private or sensitive situations.
- Respect venue rules and the instructions of responsible adults.
- Do not use the lack of immediate preview to conceal harmful, humiliating or unlawful content.
- For events involving children, read and apply the dedicated child-safety standards.
- Provide a clear support route when someone raises a concern.
Product design cannot replace the organiser’s duty of care or the legal requirements that apply to a particular event and location.
4. Handle reveal and reuse separately
The shared reveal is the first viewing, not permission to publish everything. After reveal, participants should still consider whether an image is appropriate to keep, share or post publicly. A request not to distribute a sensitive image should be treated promptly and respectfully.
The privacy information explains the product’s data handling. Organisers should separately communicate any event-specific photo policy.
5. Standard for examples and case notes
Participation
Explain how guests were informed and how opting out worked in practice.
Observation
Report what organisers or consenting participants actually observed, not a universal emotional outcome.
Limits
State who provided the account, what was not measured and why the example may not generalise.
Sealed does not invent guest quotes, event results or safety outcomes. Identifiable examples require permission from the relevant people.
