Social media wall policy

We love it every time we see our visitors’ experience pictured on social media, and we sometimes may request to share these pictures/movies on our channels. The photos are published primarily on the respective gallery’s page on our website to give other visitors a glimpse of real-life visits. They may in some cases also be published in one of our other channels, for example Instagram, Facebook, Newsletters or a brochure.
