Privacy Policy
My Essential Birth, LLC (referred to herein as “My Essential Birth,” “we,” “us” or like terms) has created this privacy statement (“Privacy Policy”) in order to demonstrate our firm commitment to privacy. The following discloses our policies for information gathering and dissemination practices for our current and future online and mobile websites, platforms, services, applications, and networks owned or operated by My Essential Birth, including without limitation, www.myessentialbirth.com and/or other sites or applications through which My Essential Birth currently or in the future provides services and/or technology (the “Site” or “Sites”).
Information We Collect:
When you interact with us through the Sites, we may collect personal information and other information (“Personal Information”) from you, as further described below:
Personal Information That You Provide Through the Sites: We collect and store Personal Information from you when you voluntarily provide such information by registering for access to our services, using certain services, contacting us with inquiries or any other voluntary disclosure of your Personal Information. For example, we may collect your name, address, phone number, email address, approximate due date, date of birth, third party service login credentials, and the messages you send or receive through our Sites and services. Wherever My Essential Birth collects Personal Information we make an effort to provide a link to this Privacy Policy.
By voluntarily providing us with Personal Information, you are consenting to our use of it in accordance with this Privacy Policy. If you provide Personal Information, you acknowledge and agree that such Personal Information may be transferred from your current location to the offices and servers of My Essential Birth and the authorized third parties referred to herein located in the United States.
Non-Identifiable or Aggregated Data: When you interact with My Essential Birth through the Sites, we also receive and store certain personally non-identifiable information. Such information, which is collected using various technologies, will not be used in such a way to specifically identify you. My Essential Birth may store such information itself or such information may be included in databases owned and maintained by My Essential Birth affiliates, agents or service providers. We may use such information and pool it with other information to track, for example, the total number of visitors to or users of the Sites, the number of visitors to each page of our website, the domain names of our visitors’ Internet service providers, and how our users use and interact with the Site. Also, in an ongoing effort to better understand and serve the users of the Sites, My Essential Birth may conduct research on its customer demographics, interests and behavior based on the Personal Information and other information provided to us. This research may be compiled and analyzed on an aggregate basis. My Essential Birth may share this non-identifiable and aggregate data with its affiliates, agents and business partners, but this type of non-identifiable and aggregate information does not identify you personally. My Essential Birth may also disclose aggregated user statistics in order to describe our services to current and prospective business partners and to other third parties for other lawful purposes.
In operating the Sites, we may also use a technology called “cookies.” A cookie is a piece of information that the computer that hosts our Sites gives to your browser when you access the Sites. Our cookies help provide additional functionality to the Sites and help us analyze Sites usage more accurately. For instance, our Sites may set a cookie on your browser that allows you to access the Sites without needing to remember and then enter a password more than once during a visit to the Sites. In all cases in which we use cookies, we will not collect Personal Information except with your permission. On most web browsers, you will find a “help” section on the toolbar. Please refer to this section for information on how to receive notification when you are receiving a new cookie and how to turn cookies off. We recommend that you leave cookies turned on because they allow you to take advantage of some of the Site’s features.
Our Use of Your Personal Information and Other Information
My Essential Birth uses the Personal Information you provide in a manner that is consistent with this Privacy Policy. If you provide Personal Information for a certain reason, we may use the Personal Information in connection with the reason for which it was provided. For instance, if you contact us by email, we will use the Personal Information you provide to answer your question or resolve your problem. Also, if you provide Personal Information in order to obtain access to the Sites and services offered by the Company, we will use your Personal Information to provide you with access to such services and to monitor your use of such services. My Essential Birth and its subsidiaries and affiliates (the “Related Companies”) may also use your Personal Information and other personally non-identifiable information collected through the Sites to help us improve the content and functionality of the Sites, to better understand our users, and to improve the services offered by My Essential Birth. My Essential Birth and its Related Companies may use this information to contact you in the future to tell you about services we believe will be of interest to you. If we do so, each communication we send you will contain instructions permitting you to “opt-out” of receiving future communications. In addition, if at any time you wish not to receive any future communications or you wish to have your name deleted from our mailing lists, please contact us as indicated below.
If My Essential Birth intends on using any Personal Information in any manner that is not consistent with this Privacy Policy, you will be informed of such anticipated use prior to or at the time at which the Personal Information is collected.
