Private Tasking Tutorial

Private tasking is not available by default. If you have a use case that requires private tasking, contact your Vantor Sales Representative.

What is private tasking?

Imagery collected from a private tasking request is only available to the account that placed the tasking order. The collected imagery is not made available for resale or added to the Vantor archive. It is not viewable or searchable by anyone outside of the requesting account.

The private tasking option is available as a collection parameter through the Hub Tasking API and UI to accounts that have this option enabled.

If your account has private tasking enabled, an additional option called "Access" will be available on the tasking collection screen.

Access options: Public (default), Private

The Access menu selects "public" by default. To change this, open the menu and select "private."
