Caring for Your Privacy & Rights

The ABE Project is a nonprofit initiative focused on community-led end-of-life care, cultural deathcare, education, and collaborative projects. Our work includes public events, writing, research, partnerships, and funded community programs.

We are not a medical provider, clinic, or virtual care service, and we do not provide clinical treatment or bill individuals for services.

We collect only the information necessary to support our work. This may include:

• Contact details when you reach out to us directly

• Event registration information when you sign up for gatherings or workshops

• Voluntary information you choose to share in correspondence, surveys, or feedback forms

• Information required for funding, partnership, or volunteer coordination
  

We do not intentionally collect sensitive personal health information.

We do not sell, trade, or rent personal information.

Some ABE activities involve group gatherings, conversations, or creative collaboration. Participation is always voluntary.

Where photography, audio, or video documentation occurs, we seek consent and provide clear information about how materials may be used. Participants are never required to consent to documentation in order to attend.

You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal information at any time, subject to legal or funding requirements.
