The privacy policy identifies the company as Photivo LLC in Charleston, South Carolina.
What it is
Photivo is web software for photographers who need online client galleries and sales tools. Galleries support proofing, favoriting, downloads, and shopping. Photographers can drag in pre-organized folders, with the folder structure used for gallery and set names. Clients and vendors can download selected items to a computer or Dropbox. My Photivo gives repeat customers and vendors a personalized portal for shared galleries, favorites, and orders. The site describes AI tagging for wedding elements and face recognition with automatic tagging, grouping, and filtering. Photivo offers a free Seed plan and paid monthly plans starting at $6/mo, with a 14-day trial for new users. Seed includes 2GB, multiple users, watermarks, and an 8% commission. Bloom costs $6.00 per month with 20GB, multiple users, watermarks, no Photivo branding, and 0% commission; Thrive and Flourish provide 100GB and 1000GB. Terms note fair-use thresholds above 20GB per collection and 100GB bandwidth monthly may incur fees.
