Consent in the field — a commissioned campaign shoot
Sofie · communications lead on a regional dementia-awareness campaign. Commissions a photographer to shoot at a care home. Needs consent from residents — many of whom cannot give it themselves — settled before a single photo is published.
Nothing in this story ships today. The field consent station — QR, kiosk, selfie-at-consent — is on the roadmap, not in the product. The library setup, face matching, preview-blur and withdrawal beats this story leans on already work; read this as a walkthrough of how field-collected consent would feed them, with the actual screens still to come. The two cards below are static mockups, not the live product.
Before the shoot — set up the campaign, generate the consent QR
Before anyone is photographed, Sofie sets the Campaign up in Ansikt. She names it ("Dementia outreach — Plejehjem Bispebjerg, March 2026"), picks the legal basis (consent), defines the Purposes (campaign website, social, printed poster), lists the Channels, and sets an end date: when the Campaign closes, the photos go inactive on their own.
Then she generates a consent card for the shoot, branded as her campaign rather than as Ansikt. It carries the exact Purposes above, in plain language. It will be printed on cards and loaded on a tablet at the venue. The card on the right is a mockup of what a resident or relative will see.

At the venue — the consent station
Shoot day at the care home. A staff member runs a consent station — a tablet on a table, not "scan this with your own phone", because that does not fit the people in the room.
Each resident goes through it, or a relative does it on their behalf where the resident cannot consent themselves — the same guardian path the school story uses. They read the Purposes, decide each one, and take a selfie. The selfie is the reference that lets the photographer's later shots be matched to the right person.
Consent and selfie are captured in the same step. Ansikt holds the selfie on Sofie's behalf, as her processor — Sofie remains the controller. The selfie is encrypted, EU-hosted, retained for the lifetime of the consent, and deleted when the consent expires or is withdrawn. Because consent and the selfie arrive together, Ansikt still never holds a face reference for anyone who has not said yes.

After the shoot — upload, auto-match, preview the blur
The photographer shoots the campaign and uploads the take into the Campaign's image scope. Ansikt detects the faces and matches them against the selfies from the consent station — confident matches link automatically, borderline ones queue for a quick check. A resident who consented is recognised and carries their own per-Purpose decisions. A face with no consent on file — a visitor in the background, someone who declined — stays unattributed and blurs by default.
This part is not new. It is the same detect-match-preview beat the club already runs live; the only difference is where the consent came from.
Publish — and the Campaign clock
Sofie previews the gallery as the public will see it: consented faces sharp, everyone else blurred. When she publishes, Ansikt records each use as Image × Purpose × Channel — dated, attributed, in the audit log.
And the end date she set in Step 1 does its job: when the Campaign closes, the images go inactive without anyone remembering to pull them. Consent given for a Campaign does not outlive the Campaign.
Withdrawal — a relative changes their mind
Months later, a relative changes their mind. They open the portal, find the photo, and withdraw. The Campaign has thirty days to clear its channels — the proxy-served website blurs the face within minutes; a printed poster is a manual takedown someone logs by hand.
Same withdrawal machinery the other stories use. Field-collected consent is not a separate world — it is the front of the same pipe.
That is the forward path — consent settled before the shoot is processed.
The setup it builds on, and the customer stories that run the same matching, preview and withdrawal beats on live demos.
