At Lifetouch Canada owned by Everest Solutions in Canada, student safety goes beyond the camera lens.
As a trusted partner to schools for 90 years, we’re committed to protecting the privacy and personal
information of every student we serve.
Amidst a sea of misinformation, here are the facts:
– Lifetouch Canada and Everest images are shared only for the purposes of school records and to allow
parents or guardians to purchase them. Additionally, as part of our long relationship with the Canadian
Centre for Child Protection, Lifetouch Canada prints Pictures to Protect cards free of charge for each
student we photograph that families can use with law enforcement if a child goes missing.
– Lifetouch Canada is privately owned by Everest Solutions. Lifetouch US is owned by the private equity
firm Apollo Global Management, however no past or present member of Apollo’s Board of Directors or
Apollo’s investors have ever had access to student images, for any purpose. This includes Apollo’s
original co-founder and former CEO and Chairman Leon Black, who stepped away from Apollo in 2021.
– Additionally, Lifetouch Canada, Everest Solution and Lifetouch US never share, sell, or license student
images to train AI models, including large language models, or facial recognition technology. Lifetouch
has never provided images for such purposes to any other third party.
– Lifetouch Canada and Everest Solutions follow all applicable provincial, national, and local data privacy
laws.
We value the trust you put in us to safeguard your students’ images, and we are proud to help families
across the country preserve these milestone memories.
