In Canada, it is illegal (a criminal offence) for a person to knowingly publish, distribute, transmit, sell, make available or advertise an intimate image of a person where the person in that image did not give their consent.

A release is permission given by the person/people visible in the photo or the owners of property, brand or artwork that has been photographed. You may need to have a photo release form signed to be able to sell a photo, depending on the type of license your photo gets sold with.

Invasion of Privacy ? If the person who posted in a way that portrays you falsely or in an offensive manner, then you can take the appropriate action. For instance, if your local sheriff's department has a ?Ten Most Wanted? list and someone adds your photo to it, that would be an invasion of privacy.

If you take photos of people, places or things and publish them, you need permission. Understanding when to use a photo release form will save you the headache of copyright infringement issues.

I give permission to take photographs and / or video of my child. I grant full rights to use the images resulting from the photography/video filming, and any reproductions or adaptations of the images for fundraising, publicity or other purposes to help achieve the group's aims.

Although taking a photo of you in a public setting is not an invasion of privacy, if the person captures you in your home and then uses it on social media without your consent, you have legal recourse. An attorney may classify this type of action as defamation as well.
