About pixevety

pixevety is a digital media management platform designed specifically for handling photo and video content with privacy controls. The platform enables organizations to manage, store, and share digital media while maintaining strict privacy settings and consent management protocols. Built using Privacy-by-Design principles, pixevety focuses on protecting privacy rights, particularly for children and students in educational settings.

What does pixevety do?

The platform provides comprehensive media management capabilities through a gallery-based system where content is organized in folders and albums. Pixevety implements a robust consent management system that requires explicit permissions for viewing and using content. The platform enforces a strict 'Access ≠ Permission' principle, meaning that having access to view content does not automatically grant rights to use, share, or publish it.

pixevety's consent management module enables organizations to record and enforce individual preferences regarding photo usage. When enabled, the system can apply automated face recognition technology within a gallery to identify individuals and automatically enforce their consent preferences across all photos where they appear. The platform tracks permissions over time and applies the strictest privacy settings in cases involving group photos or multiple consent preferences.

What makes pixevety different?

The platform distinguishes itself through its comprehensive privacy architecture and consent management capabilities. Unlike many photo sharing platforms that treat access as implied permission, pixevety requires users to explicitly verify permissions at both gallery and content levels. The platform maintains ISO 27001:22 certification and is registered with both Australian Privacy Principles (APP) and UK Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), demonstrating its commitment to privacy standards.

A key technical feature is the platform's approach to content sharing. Rather than transferring actual files, pixevety implements a 'Shared Collections' system where content remains hosted on the platform while being accessible through secure, time-limited links. This approach allows organizations to maintain control over their content even after it has been shared externally. The platform also provides granular access controls, enabling administrators to restrict folder access based on roles or individual members.

Use cases and industries

The platform primarily serves educational institutions, particularly schools managing student photos and videos. Schools can use the platform to handle media from various events, maintain photo consent records, and ensure compliant sharing of student images across different publishing channels. The enterprise version offers features specifically designed for educational requirements, including integration with school administration systems and automated consent management.

Beyond education, pixevety serves organizations needing to manage media content with strict privacy controls. The platform supports professional collaborations where teams need to share content while maintaining control over usage rights. Event organizers can use the system to manage photo sharing among participants with detailed permission controls, and sporting clubs can handle athlete images for promotional purposes while respecting individual privacy preferences.
