Photos
- Photos are never public. They're only shown to the people above.
- We remove hidden location data (GPS) when photos are uploaded.
- Please leave faces out of sizing photos.
- Families choose whether e-NABLE may share photos of the finished device publicly.
Volunteer approval
New volunteers are reviewed by a coordinator before they can see any requests, because many requests involve children. Volunteers confirm that they're 18 or older and agree to the community guidelines.
Meeting in person
Meet in a public place, such as a library or community center, or at the family's home with a parent or guardian present.
Deleting your account
On your account page, choose Delete my account. Your name, contact details, and location are removed. Anonymous records of requests remain so e-NABLE can count the devices delivered.
