Getty Images - OpenText Legal Hold Integration and Automation

Common Integration Use Cases Between Getty Images and OpenText Legal Hold

Getty Images and OpenText Legal Hold serve very different but complementary business needs. Getty Images manages licensed visual content for marketing, communications, and editorial use, while OpenText Legal Hold preserves potentially relevant information for litigation, investigations, and compliance. When integrated, they help organizations control the use, retention, and defensibility of licensed creative assets and related records across legal and business teams.

• Preserve licensed creative assets tied to active litigation

  When a campaign, publication, or corporate communication uses Getty Images assets that become relevant to a dispute, OpenText Legal Hold can place the associated files, license records, usage approvals, and campaign documentation on hold. This prevents deletion or alteration of evidence needed for eDiscovery. Data flow: Getty Images to OpenText Legal Hold.

• Automatically retain license agreements and usage rights evidence

  Legal and compliance teams can capture Getty Images license details, asset IDs, download history, and usage terms into OpenText Legal Hold when a matter is opened. This creates a defensible record showing what was licensed, when it was acquired, and how it was intended to be used. Data flow: Getty Images to OpenText Legal Hold.

• Hold campaign source files that include Getty Images content

  Marketing teams often embed Getty Images assets in brochures, web pages, presentations, and social content. If a legal matter arises, OpenText Legal Hold can identify and preserve the source files, final outputs, and related approvals that contain those assets, ensuring the full content chain is retained. Data flow: Bi-directional, with Getty Images metadata feeding hold rules and OpenText Legal Hold returning hold status to content owners.

• Prevent deletion of archived visual content during investigations

  Organizations with internal media libraries or DAM repositories can use OpenText Legal Hold to freeze any Getty Images assets that were downloaded and stored locally for reuse. This helps prevent accidental deletion during records cleanup, archive rotation, or content lifecycle automation. Data flow: OpenText Legal Hold to Getty Images connected repositories or downstream content stores.

• Support legal review of editorial imagery used in corporate communications

  For companies that use Getty Images editorial content in press releases, investor materials, or crisis communications, OpenText Legal Hold can preserve the related approval trail, publication dates, and distribution records. This is valuable when legal teams need to review whether content was used appropriately and within license scope. Data flow: Getty Images to OpenText Legal Hold.

• Maintain a complete audit trail for rights-managed image usage

This reduces risk during audits, disputes, or regulatory inquiries. Data flow: Getty Images to OpenText Legal Hold.

• Enable legal hold notifications to content owners and marketing teams

  When OpenText Legal Hold places Getty-related content on hold, it can notify marketing, creative, and communications teams responsible for the assets. This ensures they stop deletion, archiving, or repurposing activities and understand which files are subject to preservation. Data flow: OpenText Legal Hold to Getty Images users and connected content systems.

These integrations help organizations reduce legal risk, preserve evidence more reliably, and improve coordination between marketing, creative operations, legal, and compliance teams.
