Digital Device Usage Policy

DIGITAL DEVICE USAGE POLICY (CELL PHONE POLICY)

1.1 Ajax Pickering Ringette Association (APRA) believes some uses of digital devices in dressing rooms constitute an invasion of an individual’s personal privacy. This will not be tolerated by APRA.

1.2 In growing numbers, these devices are being manufactured with cameras that allow photographs and video to be taken and shared
electronically, without permission during regular ringette activities in change rooms, shower areas and/or bathrooms. If someone uses a
device this way and captures a photo or video image, this may constitute a violation of personal privacy but may also be a criminal offence.

1.3 APRA prohibits the use of any form of Camera, Video Camera, Camera Phone or other portable digital device in any
recreational facility change rooms or team dressing rooms for the purposes of taking photographs or videos unless permission
has been granted by the President or member of the executive board.

1.4 These devices may be used for personal music or playing team music.

1.5 It is the team officials’ responsibility to monitor and control the uses of such devices. Any complaints with regards to the policy not being
adhered to, shall be investigated by the APRA board of directors. Disciplinary action can result in consequences up to and including
suspensions and expulsions from the APRA.
