1 Purpose and authority
This policy governs statements, websites, social media, publications, campaigns, beneficiary stories and identity use. The Board or delegate appoints spokespersons and publication approvers. Membership or employment alone does not authorise speaking for the Association. Its official name, logo and approved letterhead are used without altering element proportions.(1)
2 Approval before publication
A publication request identifies audience, channel, purpose, source, rights, reviewers and timing. Prior competent-authority approval for cultural, media and awareness publications is completed under the Articles, together with necessary advertising, campaign or fundraising permits. Internal editorial approval does not replace regulatory permission.
3 Accuracy and medical content
Figures and outcomes are verified against documented records. Service counts are distinguished from people, and pledged donations from collected funds. A licensed medical specialist reviews health content and references before publication, including its limits and when to consult a physician. Cure guarantees and unsubstantiated scientific or ranking claims are prohibited.
4 Privacy and stories
Photography and publication consent specifies channels, purpose and duration and is separate from assistance requests, respecting minors and their legal representatives. Identity details, reports, file numbers, bank accounts or information enabling family re-identification are not published. Withdrawal requests are handled according to legal basis and actual capabilities, stopping future publication where required.
5 Accounts and rights
Accounts, email and recovery arrangements use institutional identity and multi-factor authentication, with publishing permissions separated from review where possible. Image, music, font and quotation rights are checked. Partners may use the logo only within the specific permission. Access ends immediately when an assignment ends; digital assets remain the Association’s property.
6 Corrections and crises
Incorrect or unsafe content is stopped promptly, notifying the Director and privacy or medical specialist as appropriate. Authorised corrections preserve the previous version and change evidence without repeating the harm. Comments are moderated; sensitive data and abuse are removed under announced rules. Legitimate complaints are not deleted to conceal shortcomings.
