What is Pic2Go UK?

This allows participants to be identified quickly and efficiently in event photos so that they can easily access their photos. If contracted to we can, with participant permission, arrange for the branded photos to be sent to the individual’s personal social media photo album, enabling them to share their experience before they have finished the event or quickly afterwards.

Throughout this notice, “we”, “us” and “our” refer to Pic2Go UK.
