1. General Terms
DoulaHelper ("DoulaHelper", "we" or "us") provides this Privacy Policy ("Privacy Policy") to inform users ("you" or "Users") of our policies and procedures regarding the collection, use and disclosure of personally identifiable information received from Users of all our web sites located at the domain DoulaHelper.com (the "Website" or "Websites") and all other products and services, including mobile applications, owned, controlled or offered by DoulaHelper, and all content offered as a part thereof (the "Services"). "You" or "Users" of the Services may be "Customers", which can be any parties, including individuals looking for services, or "Providers", which can be any parties, including individuals providing services to "Customers" (and possibly others not registered for the Services). By using or accessing the Services in any manner or opening an account or otherwise registering on Websites, you acknowledge that you accept the practices and policies outlined in this Privacy Policy, and you hereby consent that we will collect, use, and share your information in the below described ways. Note that your use of our Services is at all times subject to the Terms of Service, which incorporates this Privacy Policy. Any terms we use in this Policy without defining them have the definitions given to them in the Terms of Service. If you have any questions or comments about this Privacy Policy or if you want to know what information we collect and hold about you, please contact us at https://doulahelper.com/site/contact. Alternatively, you can email us at
[email protected].
2. Information collection and usage
We collect personal data from you when you voluntarily choose to register on Websites, when you use the Services, or when you communicate with us. We use the collected personal data to provide and improve our Services, and as otherwise set forth in this Privacy Policy and in our Terms of Service. Personal data may include, but are not limited to, first name, last name, address, email address, telephone number, birth date, appointment information, location, IP address, billing and credit card information, as well as any other non-public information that may be associated with or linked to any of the foregoing data. In addition to your personal data, we may collect personal data from you about certain third parties (e.g., Providers and/or Customers may gather and provide us information about each other), and from certain third parties about you. You warrant that any personal data you provide us about any third party individuals was obtained by you with full consent from such third party, and that such third party has not communicated to you that they wish to opt out of receiving communication from DoulaHelper or having DoulaHelper collect information about such third party. We will use the collected personal data to provide and improve our Services, facilitate communication between you and such third parties, and as otherwise set forth in this Privacy Policy and in our Terms of Service. DoulaHelper uses all the provided/collected data the way that is described in the current Privacy Policy or in any applicable service-specific agreement. For example, we will use the email address or the phone number to send booking notifications, marketing promotions, or other useful information. In addition to User's personal data, DoulaHelper also collects and uses other personally non-identifiable information (demographic data, age, education level, profession, geographic location or gender) collected through the Services to help us improve the quality of our Websites and Services.
3. International transfer of collected information
To facilitate DoulaHelper's global operations, we may transfer and access the collected data about our Users from around the world, including the United States. This Privacy Policy shall apply even if DoulaHelper transfers our User's data to other countries. As an example could be the sharing of specialist's information to potential customer.
4. Cookies, and other Tracking Technologies
In operating our Websites and Services, we may use technologies such as cookies, web beacons and log files. A cookie is a piece of information that the computers that host our Websites give to your computer when you access our websites. A web beacon is an electronic file that signals when a web page, advertisement, video, other content, an email or newsletter has been viewed. Log file information is automatically reported by your browser or mobile application each time you access the Websites or our Services. Our cookies, web beacons and log files help provide additional functionality to the Websites and Services and help us analyze the usage of our Websites and Services more accurately. We may, either directly or through third party companies and individuals we engage to provide services to us, also track your use of our Websites and the Services for purposes of our own customer support, analytics, research, product development, fraud prevention, risk assessment, regulatory compliance, investigation, as well as to enable you to use and access the Services and pay for your activities on the Websites and through the Services. We may also, either directly or through third party companies and individuals we engage to provide services to us, track your behavior on our own Services to market and advertise our services to you on the Platform and third party websites. Third parties that use cookies and other tracking technologies to deliver targeted advertisements on our Services and/or third party websites may offer you a way to prevent such targeted advertisements by opting-out at the websites of industry groups such as the Network Advertising Initiative (http://www.networkadvertising.org/choices/) and/or the Digital Advertising Alliance (http://www.aboutads.info/choices/). Please note that even if you choose to opt-out of receiving targeted advertising, you may still receive advertising on the Services – it just will not be tailored to your interests.

We take precautions to ensure the security of your personally identifiable information.

You should note that in using our Services, your information will travel through third party infrastructures which are not under our control. No method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure.

We cannot protect, nor does this Privacy Policy apply to, any information that you transmit to other Users of the Websites. You should never transmit personal or identifying information to other Users.
