Why Hail?

One platform. Create your school stories once, then share them across your website, newsletters, digital publications and connected social channels.

Built for schools. Bring your school communications and image consent decisions into the same publishing workflow.

Privacy that follows your people. Add reference photos and set individual protection preferences. Hail checks new uploads for matching faces and applies those preferences.

Control when consent changes. Collect and update consent preferences with Hail. When circumstances change, find previously published images that may need attention, review them and decide what to blur or remove.

Less repeated work. Reuse your content across channels and keep privacy choices connected to the photos you publish.

Image privacy, built into every share

Hail Image Privacy connects people, consent preferences and your content. Choose who needs protection and where, and Hail checks new uploads for matching faces and applies your privacy settings.

If consent changes, Hail helps you find previously published images so you can review them and take action.

Protect particular people

Hail identifies people who need image protection and can automatically blur matching faces in future uploads. You can also manually blur faces in individual images for added control.

Choose social media protection

Hail can automatically hide detected faces when sharing content to connected Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn accounts. You can also apply broader image protection across your communications channels.

Respond to changing consent

Collect and update consent preferences with Hail. If circumstances change, find previously published images that may need attention, review them and decide what to blur or remove. Keep a record of your image privacy decisions for peace of mind.

Your Image Privacy questions, answered

How does Hail's Image Privacy work?

Image Privacy helps protect people before images are shared.

Once you've added someone to your People Locker and chosen their privacy preferences, Hail automatically checks new image uploads and applies those settings whenever a matching face is detected.

Can I protect photos we’ve already published?

Yes. A Time Machine Scan searches your existing Hail content for possible appearances of a person. You review the matches before deciding which images to blur or remove. The scan also provides a downloadable report to help you keep a record of your decisions.

What do I need to add someone to the People Locker?

Use a clear reference photo showing one person looking towards the camera, with their face visible. Then choose their privacy preferences. Hail uses the photo to recognise matching faces in future uploads and apply the protection settings you have chosen for that person.

Can we hide every face on social media?

Yes. Advanced Rules let you hide all detected faces when publishing from Hail to connected social media channels, including Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn. You can also choose to hide all faces everywhere. Review your images and settings to make sure the protection matches your school’s needs.

Does Hail connect with our Student Management System?

Yes. Hail connects directly to a range of Student Management Systems, including KAMAR, Edge, Hero, eTAP, FACTS, Compass and Wonde. Contact lists sync automatically, so your lists are always current without any manual updating.

Is Hail secure and safe for schools?

Yes. Hail holds ST4S (Safer Technologies for Schools) certifications, an internationally recognised standard for digital safety in education. The AI Chatbot uses only your own published content and never accesses external data.

Can we try Hail before committing?

Yes. Hail offers a free trial with no credit card required. You can also book a free demo with the team to see the platform in action before signing up.
