Is consent required from a social assistance employee to include their image on an ID badge for after-hours volunteering (aid for Ukraine)?

ANSWER

In this respect, it is necessary to indicate the purposes of placing the image on the ID badge. In the case of volunteers, processing of their image should be considered on the basis of the controller's legitimate interest (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR), namely ensuring a higher level of security in identifying volunteers and preventing various types of fraud.
