Privacy Policy
The Birth Cave
Last updated:
At The Birth Cave, your privacy matters. I understand that reaching out about pregnancy, birth, and personal support can involve sharing information that feels private. I want you to know how that information is handled.
Information You Share
When you contact The Birth Cave through the website, you may be asked to provide your name, email address, phone number, estimated due date, general location, birth preferences, and the type of support you're interested in.
You may also choose to share a message or question.
This information is used to respond to your inquiry, answer questions, discuss services, or arrange an introductory conversation.
Please avoid submitting medical records, detailed medical histories, or other sensitive health information through the website's contact form.
How Your Information Is Used
Your information is used to communicate with you about your inquiry and any services you express interest in.
Submitting an inquiry does not obligate you to work with The Birth Cave.
Your contact information will not be used to send marketing emails or promotional text messages without your separate consent.
Contact Forms and Third-Party Services
The Birth Cave uses Web3Forms to process website inquiries and deliver them to my business email.
Form submissions are transmitted using HTTPS. Web3Forms and its service providers may process information to deliver submissions and prevent spam. The website also uses hCaptcha for spam protection.
You can review the privacy policies of Web3Forms and hCaptcha for more information about their practices.
If you schedule a discovery call through Setmore, your booking information is processed by Setmore according to its privacy policy.
If you contact me directly by email or text, your communication will also be handled by your chosen email or messaging provider and mine.
How Long Information Is Kept
If you contact The Birth Cave but do not become a client, inquiry correspondence is generally retained for up to 12 months after our last meaningful communication.
Discovery-call booking records for individuals who do not become clients are generally retained for up to 12 months after the appointment.
Information relating to ongoing or completed client relationships may be retained separately for administrative, contractual, or legal purposes.
Information may be retained longer when reasonably necessary to meet applicable legal obligations or resolve disputes.
Your Choices
You may contact me to request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal information you have shared.
I will review and respond to requests and delete eligible information from systems under my control, subject to applicable legal obligations and technical limitations.
Third-party providers may maintain information according to their own retention policies.
Contact
If you have questions about this policy or how your information is handled, please reach out.
