Use cases

Where FaceGate fits.

Six verticals, ordered by fit, urgency, and deployment readiness. K-12 schools are the v1 focus; adjacent sectors are on the roadmap.

The problem

Newsletters, yearbooks, school websites, social media — every channel can carry a child whose family has withdrawn consent. Family-law arrangements, cultural protocols around Sorry Business, and children in out-of-home care turn a missed photo into a notifiable issue.

What FaceGate does here

FaceGate becomes the gate between the camera roll and publication. A Comms Coordinator scans the day's photos, lands a verdict per image, covers the faces that need covering, and ships the rest. The consent list is the school's, lives on the device, and never leaves it.

Adjacent verticals

The roadmap, in the order we’d tackle it.

Aged Care

Well-funded under the Aged Care Act 2024 and media-consent forms already exist. The matching step — confirming the resident in the photo against current consent — is the gap, especially where cognitive impairment changes advance directives.

What FaceGate does · FaceGate handles the matching: living consent reflects current status, the verdict respects advance directives, and a status change re-classifies historic photos without re-scanning.

Buyer · Lifestyle / engagement lead · Communications · Compliance officer

Childcare / ECEC

Hundreds of photos a week shared via Xplor or Storypark. Delivery tools exist; none of them screen for consent before a photo is shared with a family group.

What FaceGate does · FaceGate plugs in as the consent-screening layer the existing tools don't provide. Runs on a centre phone, batches before posts, works whether the centre is online or not.

Buyer · Centre director · Communications · Compliance officer

ACCHOs

Sorry Business — the cultural protocol around recent passing — creates urgent need for screening that updates in hours, not weeks. Photos of the deceased and, in some communities, of close kin must come down or be covered until the appropriate period has passed.

What FaceGate does · Living consent makes the change a single toggle. Every existing photo re-classifies in place. No re-scanning. Nothing leaves the device.

Buyer · Communications · Cultural liaison · Executive leadership

Junior sports clubs

Sport Integrity Australia's February 2024 photography guidance tightened junior-sport publishing. Clubs are typically volunteer-run with photos from parents, coaches, and event photographers — and no workflow to check consent before a team photo goes to the club Facebook page.

What FaceGate does · A lightweight screening pass before the post goes live. Designed to run on a volunteer's phone, with the same on-device guarantees as the school deployment.

Buyer · Club secretary · Comms volunteer · Photographer

Hospitals & health

Patient-marketing photography sits at the intersection of consent, medical privacy, and media releases negotiated weeks before. Mistakes here are slow to correct and visible by definition.

What FaceGate does · Longer sales cycle than schools — this is a roadmap vertical rather than a v1 target. The underlying workflow is the same: consent list, scan, verdict, publish.

Buyer · Marketing · Media · Privacy officer
