How we use what you share

Black Economy Solutions uses the information you provide to respond to your message and understand potential skills, needs, business ideas, research questions, and partnership opportunities.

We may combine anonymous responses to identify broader community patterns and opportunities. We will not publicly identify you, publish your story, or share your contact information with another organization without asking for your permission first.

You may skip optional questions, decline future research, or ask us to stop contacting you at any time.
