Digital media & consent management
Safeguard consent and privacy
For schools, businesses and institutions. Prevent file misuse, control who sees what, and show your compliance the moment someone asks.
Designed for GDPR and PDPA compliance, and installed in hours rather than quarters.
Trusted by schools, agencies and international organisations
Three jobs, done properly
Most organisations run a file store, a consent process and a compliance record as three separate problems. They are one problem, and it gets easier the moment you treat it that way.
Media management
A library that stays in order
- Tag and sort new files automatically
- Find any file in seconds, by anything you remember
- Decide who can see, download and share what
- Every download, share and edit in one log
- One place for every asset, instead of six
Consent
Consent you can check, not assume
- Create consent forms and send them in two clicks
- Set exactly what each form covers, and for how long
- Check anyone's consent status in real time
- Consent follows the person, not the file
- Filter the whole library by consent status
Safety and compliance
Built to survive an audit
- Every file encrypted at rest
- Consent records hashed, so tampering shows
- Permission-based access at every door
- Flag content for review before it goes anywhere
- Developed against GDPR and PDPA from the start
Check consent before you publish, not after
Every image is linked to the person in it and the form that covers them. Ask the question at the moment it matters, and get an answer you can put in front of a regulator.

Illustrative example
In their words
“LightRocket has increased productivity for our global staff and the professional photographers we work with in the field. Our member organizations and partners are also regular users of the system which is easy to access and search. LightRocket’s team is always quick to respond if I have questions.”
The parts we won't trade away
Five commitments that decide what gets built and what gets refused. They are the reason schools and health bodies let us near their archives.
01
Safeguarding
Images of children and vulnerable people get stricter handling than everything else, by default rather than by policy.
02
Privacy first
People's lives are lived online. Their photographs should stay theirs to control, including the right to change their mind.
03
Real-time consent
What matters is consent now, not consent at the moment the file was uploaded. Ours updates the instant it changes.
04
Compliance
Answer an audit with a report you can run in a minute, rather than a search through inboxes and shared drives.
05
Security first
Encrypted at rest, permissioned at every door, and logged so you can always answer who saw what, and when.
Who we are
Twenty years of other people's libraries
We started as a group of media professionals who thought image libraries could be a great deal better than the ones they had to use.
We work with our clients rather than for them. Most of what's in the platform is there because somebody told us they needed it.
What hasn't changed is why we build it this way. Systems should safeguard privacy, honour consent, and keep the record straight.

Powering Eurovision's Media Operations with LightRocket's DAM
The EBU needed one secure place to run editorial coverage for Eurovision 2025 — somewhere photographers and editors could upload, tag, manage and publish while the show was still on air.

01
Always learning
The platform changes because the work changes.
02
Collaborative
We work with our clients, not just for them.
03
Flexible
Feedback is the roadmap. Most features started as a request.
Easy all the way
The hard part of a new system is usually everything around it — the migration, the integrations, the training nobody has time for. We do that part.
01
Easy to install
Say the word and your platform is running the same day. No infrastructure project, no procurement cycle for servers you will never see.
02
Easy to migrate and integrate
We move your existing files across, keywords and all, and connect LightRocket to what you already run — iSAMS, Veracross and anything with an API.
03
Easy to use
An interface people work out for themselves. Training is there when you want it, not because the software demands it.
04
Easy to answer for
A parent portal keeps families informed and lets them change their mind, without another login to remember.
Training and support
A person, not a ticket queue
Onboarding for your team, documentation that matches the software you're actually running, and someone to email when something looks wrong.

- Onboarding sessions for your team
- Migration of your existing library
- Every feature, on every plan
- Storage that scales without a new quote
