The Australian Privacy Principles (or APPs) outline how most Australian companies must manage personal information to remain compliant with Australia’s Privacy Act 1988. The APPs set out the rules for how personal information must be collected, secured, used and disclosed, in both digital and mainstream environments. Find out more at www.oaic.gov.au/
The European Union (EU)’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) came into force in May 2018. The GDPR was designed to harmonise data privacy laws across Europe and to reshape the way organisations across the region, and globally, address privacy and security of personal information in digital environments.

Finding a photo management platform that is compliant with both the APPs and the GDPR is important for individuals and organisations alike. Individuals need to be confident that their photos and other personal information are shielded from misuse. Organisations that manage photos on behalf of individuals need to ensure that the platform they are using is trustworthy and secure. To this end, pixevety is committed to providing a consistently high standard of privacy and security. We are APP compliant and, because we see the GDPR as a global benchmark in privacy protection, we are continually working on being GDPR compliant.
