Equipment and processes designed with student safety in mind
The best image, data and privacy practices in the industry

Background checks on all employees who work in your school
From our background-checked photographers to data privacy, Lifetouch is proud of our long legacy of advocating for the issues that are most important to us and our schools – student data privacy and security.
Lifetouch Portal
The Lifetouch Portal offers a safe, secure way to manage your school’s Picture Day images. Eliminate the risk of sending data via email, jump drives, and CDs/DVDs to get your images into your Student Information Systems and yearbook.
Even better! With the Lifetouch Portal you can download images for certificates, photo directories, awards, and more.
Trusted Employees
All of our photographers are Lifetouch employees and are required to pass a background check before they are authorized to work in a school or academic facility. We take extra steps to ensure the screening process complies with state and local requirements.
Secure Online Ordering
Our website makes ordering school pictures faster, easier, and more secure. Users can only access and view images specific to their student. These security measures ensure a safe experience when interacting with Lifetouch online.
SmileSafe® Safety Cards
For more than 15 years, Lifetouch has partnered with the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) in the U.S. and the Canadian Centre for Child Protection (CCCP).
Data Privacy
Lifetouch complies with all applicable federal, state, and local data security and privacy requirements.
As a service provider of staff and student photography for the schools we serve, Lifetouch acknowledges its obligations under the federal Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), as well as applicable state laws.
Credit Card Security
Every year, an auditor certifies that we meet or exceed the credit card industry’s strict standards for use.
When it’s time for parents to pay for photography and yearbooks, they can be assured their information is secure.
