That's a US-ism. Somewhere between many and most countries have a "natural rights" concept that considers certain creator/subject rights to be inalienable and neither belonging to recorders or permanently assignable to them.

Well, I don't know. I am asking. She is a minor under orders of the school, so she is in no position to refuse being filmed, anywhere in the school, showers, toilets, anything.
Suppose she in later life becomes a Hollywood star and her school starts selling these recordings of her on the internet because, after all, her father has given them a permission to do this for fifty years ahead?
"she is in no position to refuse being filmed, anywhere in the school, showers, toilets, anything."
This actually made me chuckle a little. I genuinely have no idea if you're joking here because this sentence is ridiculous.
(note that privacy and GDPR issues apply differently for children)
> natural rights to their data which they would otherwise have
This is not a thing. Data has traditionally "belonged" to the entity doing the recording of the data.
