About us

How we came to be called pixevety!

The incredible journey from Australian start-up to global phenomenon.

The inspiration

It all started with a coffee and a camera

The pixevety story begins over a decade ago when Colin was sitting in a café and saw his daughter’s image used in external advertising without consent. At that moment, Colin saw an opportunity to create a unique business. Here was his chance to embrace his passion for photography while simultaneously addressing the need for consent around student images.

This was the pivotal moment that changed the lives of husband and wife team Colin and Tammy.

They had the business idea; now they just needed to decide what to call it. After much deliberation. Colin and Tammy chose the name pixevety, derived from the phrase “pictures forever & eternity.

Fast forward to today, and pixevety has become one of the world’s most trusted media management platforms. As early adopters of consent protocols, biometrics, and UK GDPR, pixevety is an industry pioneer, a badge of honour the company wears with pride.

pixevety’s commitment to the education sector has seen it achieve a 98.3% retention rate among clients. This fact alone would not only be the envy of any business, but in a highly competitive education sector, that is unprecedented.

Our story

Founded in 2012

pixevety was created to provide educational institutions with a private, centrally-owned risk mitigation software solution that contained comprehensive protection mechanisms for students, schools, and parents.

Not long after its founding, pixevety went global, expanding its service to a host of countries, including India, Hong Kong, Singapore, New Zealand and Canada. Then, in 2020, one of the largest markets in the world, the United States, expressed interest in the product.

As the family of pixevety users has expanded worldwide, the company has rapidly gained a reputation for excellence.

As an Australian-owned contracted service provider, pixevety’s exclusive ‘privacy-by-design’ platform has been a game-changer for clients, helping them to streamline storage, organise, protect and share/publish digital media.

Fourteen years after its founding, pixevety’s ethically designed Face Recognition (FR) technology, real-time photo consent protocols, and incorporation of UK GDPR principles and biometric compliance have seen it become a trusted extension of existing educational platforms.
