Posting digital images, texts, drawings, etc. to the Web is a type of publication and MUST comply with federal and state laws and regulations and National Park Service and NPS Focus policies for publication.

This policy is designed to provide overall guidance on publishing digital resources to the Web. It is the responsibility of each park/program that is publishing to NPS Focus to determine and act upon any legal and policy issues including copyright, privacy, and sensitivity for each digital resource

Quick advice:

• If the resource was not created by an NPS employee on work time, study “Section I. Intellectual property rights: copyright and ownership of digital images, texts, drawings, etc.”

• If the resource shows the recognizable face of a living person who is not an NPS employee on work time, study “Section II. Privacy rights: Digital images, etc. that display the recognizable face of a living person”

• If the resource reveals information that is considered “sensitive”, study “Section III. Sensitive information: Digital images, texts, etc. that contain sensitive information” such as the locations of caves, wells, Indian burial grounds, archeological sites, endangered species, OR specific features of buildings such as ventilation, etc.
