Sharing your images with us

If you upload images on your Instagram account using the hashtags #Primania and/or #Primark, your image may be selected for use in the Primania gallery on our Site and you confirm that such image is owned by you. You must also comply with the content standards set out in these terms of use and in our Primania Gallery Terms.

If your image is selected for the Primania gallery, you will receive an Instagram comment from @primark (Instagram) (or in certain circumstances, a direct message), requesting permission from you to use your image in our gallery, in our social media postings, on our Site, in our stores and in our marketing communications. Please be aware that everyone in the image must have provided permission for the image to be posted in the Primania gallery, which includes parental permission where necessary.

We use a service called Social Native to review images for inclusion in the Primania gallery. We will process the personal data in your image in accordance with our Privacy Notice.

You confirm by uploading an image using the #Primania and/or #Primark hashtags, subject to our Privacy Notice, that you grant us a non-exclusive, transferable, sub-licensable, royalty-free, worldwide licence to use the image (and any part of it including any intellectual property rights relating to the image).

We also have the right to disclose your identity to any third party who is claiming that any image posted or uploaded by you to our Site constitutes a violation of their intellectual property rights, or of their right to privacy, or any other rights or law.

If you would like us to delete an image within our control, you can request that we do so by emailing us at help.uk@help.primark.com to request that we remove your image. Please send us screenshots of the image(s) that you would like us to remove. If the image is copied (e.g. by other individuals in breach of our terms of use), is used in another form of medium or technology by another party or is shared by you (e.g. on a third party site), it will be out of our control and we are not obliged to and will not be able to delete such image.

We will not be responsible for the content or accuracy of any image posted by you.

The use of any of our interactive services by a minor is subject to the consent of their parent or guardian. We advise parents who permit their children to use our interactive service that it is important that they communicate with their children about their safety online, as moderation is not fool proof. Minors who are using any interactive service should be made aware of the potential risks to them.

Due to the interactive nature of our Site, we do not perform any pre-submission monitoring of user content. If you wish to report an image on the Primania gallery, you may do so using the 'report photo' button. You will be asked to give a reason for your report, which will stay anonymous and only visible to the Primark Web Team. Within 24 hours, the reported look will be reviewed by a member of our website team and its administrators. If it is deemed by us, at our sole discretion, to not comply with these terms of use, our Privacy Notice, Cookie Policy or Primania Gallery Terms, the image will be removed. Please note that on certain browsers, due to Cache memory, the take down process could take approximately 1 hour to complete. Alternatively you may contact us through the Contact Us page.
