ASK BEFORE YOU SHOOT
Photography, Filming & Recording · Quick Guide
This is a record store, not an open filming location. Photography, filming, audio recording, and livestreaming require prior permission, even for unpaid or personal social media content.
Authorization Categories
| Category | Permission Required |
|---|---|
| A · Shopping Documentation | Ask a staff member first. Oral permission covers necessary product photos only. |
| B · Private Photography | Store Manager approval, written or electronic permission, and an Authorization Code. Default duration: 30 minutes. Private use only. No public posting. |
| C · Social Media Content | Store Manager approval, written or electronic permission, and an Authorization Code. Default duration: 1 hour. Publication is limited to approved people, platforms, formats, and uses. |
| D · Professional Production | TV, news, film, advertising, and other professional projects require a formal written agreement approved by the Legal Representative. |
| E · Restricted Areas | Additional written authorization is required. |
Essential Rules
- Handheld equipment only for B and C. No tripods, external flash, fill lights, fixed mounts, or similar accessories.
- Respect other shoppers. Do not block access, move merchandise, record private conversations, or include other customers' clearly identifiable faces in ordinary Category C footage.
- Category B is strictly for private use. Public posting by the applicant or through someone else is not permitted. Any exception requires separate approval of the exact content to be published.
- Category C permits approved publication only. In a group, only the Primary Applicant may publish independently by default. Other participants need Joint Publishing Authorization.
- Livestreaming requires express approval. Permission to record ordinary video does not automatically include permission to livestream.
- Third-party rights are not included. Store permission does not grant rights to copyrighted music, record artwork, or other people's images. Deliberate continuous recording of store music requires separate approval.
- Follow the authorized time and scope. Recording must stop when permission is suspended, revoked, or expired. Serious-breach revocation may also affect permission to publish unpublished material.
How to Apply
Applications may be submitted in advance or on site. Submitting an application does not guarantee approval. Category B and C recording may begin only after the required authorization and valid code have been received.
Legally protected consumer reviews, complaints, and evidence preservation remain protected.
