Media Authorization Form

AUTHORIZATION FOR USE OF MEDIA

Encompass relies on candid images of its program participants to accurately share what we do with the public for fundraising, marketing, and educational efforts. Photos and videos of actual program participants are powerful tools for showing how Encompass affects real people in our community. We thank you for sharing your story with us!

By signing below, I understand that:

• I give Encompass permission to edit, alter, copy, exhibit, publish, or distribute media of my child and of myself obtained during the course of official Encompass activities.
  
  
• I acknowledge that such media may be used without additional notice after signing this form.
  
  
• This authorization shall not expire unless I otherwise cancel the authorization and accordingly inform Encompass of such cancellation.
  
  
• I may revoke this authorization in writing at any time, except to the extent that action has been taken in reliance on this authorization. I understand that to revoke my authorization, I must do so by submitting my written revocation to Encompass, 9050 384th Ave. SE, Snoqualmie, WA 98065.
  
  
• Encompass will not sell pictures or video of my child but may utilize them for fundraising and/or marketing purposes including, but not limited to, brochures, websites, promotional videos, and social media posts.
  
  
• Any disclosure of information carries with it the potential for an unauthorized re-disclosure and may not be protected by federal or state confidentiality laws.
