PRIVACY POLICY | SWEET CHEEKS DOULAS

Last Updated: December 2025

At Sweet Cheeks Doulas, privacy is not just a legal obligation—it is an act of care. Many of the people we serve are navigating vulnerability, trauma, and systems that have not always protected them. We are committed to handling your information with respect, intention, and transparency.

  • We believe:

    • You deserve control over your personal information

    • You should know how your information is used

    • Your story is yours to share—or not share

    We collect only what we need to provide support, and we do not sell or exploit your information.

  • We may collect limited personal information when you:

    • Request support or services

    • Schedule an appointment

    • Complete an intake or feedback form

    • Contact us through the website

    • Participate in a program, workshop, or service

    This information may include:

    • Name and contact information

    • Preferred pronouns or language

    • Basic demographic information (optional)

    • Information relevant to providing care or referrals

    • Scheduling or communication preferences

    You are never required to share more than you are comfortable with.

  • We use your information to:

    • Respond to requests for support

    • Provide services and education

    • Coordinate care or referrals (with consent)

    • Improve our programs and offerings

    • Meet legal, ethical, or safety obligations

    We do not use your information for marketing without your consent.

  • Sweet Cheeks Doulas practices confidential, survivor-centered care.

    • Information shared with us is treated as private

    • We do not share identifying information without consent, except when legally required

    • We avoid unnecessary documentation

    • We prioritize harm-reduction and autonomy

    Some team members may be mandated reporters depending on role and context. If mandatory reporting applies, we will communicate this clearly and transparently.

  • We may share limited information:

    • With your explicit consent

    • To make a referral you requested

    • To comply with mandatory reporting laws

    • If there is an immediate risk of serious harm

    We do not share more than is required, and we aim to involve you whenever possible.

  • Sweet Cheeks Doulas is not a crisis hotline or emergency service. If immediate safety concerns arise, we may encourage connection to emergency or crisis support resources. We do not initiate police or carceral responses unless legally required.

  • Our website may collect basic, non-identifying data such as:

    • Browser type

    • Device type

    • Pages visited

    This information helps us improve accessibility and user experience. We do not use invasive tracking or sell browsing data.

  • We may use cookies to:

    • Improve site functionality

    • Understand general site use

    You can adjust cookie settings through your browser at any time.

  • You have the right to:

    • Ask what information we have about you

    • Request corrections

    • Request deletion of your information (when possible)

    • Withdraw consent

    To make a request, contact us using the information below.

  • We take reasonable steps to protect your information using secure platforms and limited access. However, no system is completely risk-free. We continuously evaluate our practices to prioritize safety.

  • We take extra care when working with minors. Youth-related programming follows appropriate consent, disclosure, and safety protocols.

  • As Sweet Cheeks Doulas grows, this policy may be updated. Any changes will be posted here with an updated date. We will never use legal language to silence you, confuse you, or strip you of agency. If something feels unclear, you are always welcome to ask.

  • If you have questions, concerns, or requests related to privacy or confidentiality, you can contact us at:
