Loving Dalston is one of the few reportage sites not owned by a news group to give the full name of the publisher-editor and to abide by the NUJ code of conduct. Loving Dalston complies with the General Data Protection Regulation that came into effect on Friday 25 May 2018.

If you want to buy an article or a photograph for reproduction elsewhere, you will have to pay NUJ rates: nothing less than £50 a photograph.

Fees for reproduction of articles can be quickly negotiated via email. Small charities and voluntary organisations are unlikely to be charged for either articles or Loving Dalston/David Altheer photographs.
