Photos of you are personal. Except in rare cases, nobody is allowed to use them, unless you give your permission. You have a right to control images of yourself. Therefore, you can refuse to let your image be copied or published.
Nobody can publish a picture or video in which you can be recognized, unless you give your permission. This includes publishing in a newspaper, magazine or advertisement, or on social networks.
If the publication of the picture or video harms your self-esteem, that is, makes you uncomfortable or causes you stress, you can go to court and ask for money to make up for the harm done.
