Ontrack and Professional Photographers of America Sign Partnership

Professional Photographers of America (PPA), a nonprofit trade association for photographers, announced that it is upgrading data loss recovery benefits for its 30,000 members.

The improved data recovery assistance, made possible by a new partnership with Ontrack, LLC, cuts deductible prices in half for PPA members.

As part of the association’s Indemnification Trust, data loss recovery services for photographers are available to PPA members based in the US and Canada. No other organization-nonprofit or private-offers such protection as part of its Canadian and US membership. PPA’s Indemnification Trust also provides legal support should a dissatisfied customer take legal action vs. a photographer, such as when a client claims the photographer was negligent in providing their services. This includes data losses, missed shots, or simply because the client had a negative experience. Assistance ranges from advice on handling matters, to direct intervention and offsetting certain costs or losses. The partnership with Ontrack allows PPA members to receive significant savings:

The Indemnification Trust is administered by Meadows, Macie & Sutton, a law firm, when it comes to helping professional-level photographers.

“We understand how critical photo recovery is to members of the PPA,” said Philip Bridge, president, Ontrack. “Ontrack’s global team is ready to provide PPA members with exceptional data recovery service. By leveraging over 35 years of experience in the business, we’ve helped thousands of photographers, Photoshop professionals, and graphic designers recover their work from non-functional or damaged HDDs, and reformatted or broken camera cards.“

In data recovery service industry since 1985, Ontrack operates 22 laboratories staffed with 120+ engineers and a dedicated R&D team.

PPA member benefits, made possible through the partnership, include discounted rates on all data recovery services, no charge if the files are unrecoverable, and no cost shipping to Ontrack’s facilities and data loss evaluations.

“Our partnership with Ontrack makes data recovery more affordable for our members,” PPA director of member value and experience Kristen Hartman said. “And as with all our benefits, it’s another way we can help professional photographers to feel secure and supported, especially during uncertain times. Improving our members’ businesses and lives is always at the core of what PPA does.“
