Hello,
You may have already heard rumors regarding Lifetouch.
Viral misinformation spreads quickly and can create heightened concern—much like digital bullying; it can damage reputations or cause hesitation even when the claims are entirely false.

The CEO’s official Public Statement
Quotes from reputable national and global news outlets providing independent, factual corrections to the misinformation
Safety & Security Information
Some Important Facts:
When Lifetouch photographers take your student’s picture, that image is safeguarded for families and schools, only, with no exceptions. Lifetouch does not – and has never – provided images to any third party.
Lifetouch is not named in the Epstein files. The documents contain no allegations that Lifetouch itself was involved in, or that student photos were used in, any illicit activities.
No one currently or formerly employed by Apollo has ever had access to any student images or information.
Lifetouch follows all applicable federal, state, and local data privacy laws, including the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act, known as FERPA. In fact, Lifetouch was the first school photography company to sign a voluntary and enforceable privacy pledge—reaffirming our deep commitment to protecting school communities.
Lifetouch never shares, sells, or licenses 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.
