The people in our stories are patients and families first. Publishing anything about them is a privilege they grant, not a condition of help.
Our rules
- A story or photograph of an identifiable person is published only with signed consent, from a parent or guardian when the person is under 18, as Ecuadorian law requires
- Consent to receive help and consent to publish are separate; declining publicity never affects assistance
- Only the minimum detail needed to tell the story is published, with dignity and without medical detail beyond what the person has agreed to
- Anyone may withdraw consent at any time by writing to help@socialvisioncuenca.org; the story or image is removed from the website promptly
Where consent is kept
Signed consent forms are kept by the foundation, never on this website, and each published story records that the form exists.
