Focus on student privacy as Pixevety picks up data protection award at 2025 British Data Awards event in London
U.S. school media management company Pixevety has won the Data Protection/Privacy Initiative of the Year Award at the 2025 British Data Awards in London.
Pixevity says the recognition underscores its commitment to safeguarding student privacy through its platform, which integrates with school systems to manage media content securely and in compliance with data protection regulations.
The British Data Awards celebrate the most innovative and impactful data initiatives and this year’s event received a record 448 entries.
"This award is a testament to our team's dedication to placing privacy at the forefront of educational technology," says Colin Anson, CEO and Co-Founder at Pixevety. "We have only recently entered the UK market and are honoured to be recognised among the UK's leading data innovators. Our commitment to supporting schools and protecting their communities across the world is unwavering."
Pixevity’s platform aims to address growing concerns around digital privacy in educational settings, providing schools with the tools to manage photos and videos responsibly, while ensuring compliance with data protection regulations including both Australian Privacy Principles (APPs) and UK-GDPR.
Last year, Hayes Connor, a UK data breach solicitor, released a study showing that the education and childcare sector had the second-highest number of data breaches in 2023, following the health sector.
2025 RTIH INNOVATION AWARDS
Data protection will be a key focus area at our sister title RTIH’s 2025 Innovation Awards.
The awards, which are now open for entries, celebrate global tech innovation in a fast moving omnichannel world.
Our 2024 hall of fame entrants were revealed during an event which took place at RIBA’s 66 Portland Place HQ in Central London on 21st November, and consisted of a drinks reception, three course meal, and awards ceremony presided over by comedian Lucy Porter.
In his welcome speech, Scott Thompson, Founder and Editor, RTIH, said: “The event is now into its sixth year and what a journey it has been. The awards started life as an online only affair during the Covid outbreak, before launching as a small scale in real life event and growing year on year to the point where we’re now selling out this fine, historic venue.”
He added: “Congratulations to all of our finalists. Many submissions did not make it through to the final stage, and getting to this point is no mean feat. Checkout-free stores, automated supply chains, immersive experiences, on-demand delivery, next generation loyalty offerings, inclusive retail, green technology. We’ve got all the cool stuff covered this evening.”
“But just importantly we’ve got lots of great examples of companies taking innovative tech and making it usable in everyday operations - resulting in more efficiency and profitability in all areas.”
Congratulations to our 2024 winners, and a big thank you to our sponsors, judging panel, the legend that is Lucy Porter, and all those who attended November's gathering.
