This Privacy Policy explains how Doula Care (“we”, “us”, “our”) collects, uses, and shares information when you visit our website.

Information we collect

Information you provide. If you contact us or submit a request to be matched with a doula, we may collect your name, email address, phone number, city, and any details you choose to share.

Information collected automatically. Like most websites, we may collect technical data such as your IP address, browser type, device information, pages visited, and referring URLs. This data is collected through cookies and similar technologies (see below).

Cookies and tracking technologies

We use cookies and similar technologies to operate the site, remember your preferences, and understand how the site is used. We may use:

  • Essential cookies — required for the site to function.
  • Analytics cookies — e.g. Google Analytics, to measure traffic and improve content.
  • Advertising cookies — e.g. Google Ads or Meta (Facebook) Pixel, to measure the performance of campaigns and referrals.

You can control non-essential cookies through the consent banner shown when you first visit, and you can change or withdraw your choice at any time by clearing cookies in your browser or revisiting the banner.

We honor Global Privacy Control (GPC) signals where required by law.

How we use your information

  • To respond to your requests and match you with local doulas.
  • To operate, maintain, and improve the website.

  • Service providers (e.g. analytics and hosting) who process data on our behalf.
  • Doulas or partners you explicitly ask us to connect you with.
  • Authorities, where required by law.

Some sharing of data with advertising partners may be considered a “sale” or “sharing” under certain U.S. state laws. See your rights below.
