4. Your Privacy Choices & Rights
If you have an account with The Birthing Class, you can review and update your Personal
Information in the account settings at any time by logging in to your account. Data protection
laws in certain jurisdictions differentiate between the “controller” and “processor” of information.
In general, our users are the controllers of the data on the Platform and Services. In general,
The Birthing Class is the processor of the data provided by its Users and the controller of
non-User-generated data and other non-publicly available or accessible information it collects
and/or solicits.
a. Notice to Non-U.S. Users
Your data will be transferred outside of your home country to the United States. As such,
you may have additional rights based on your home country or location. The Birthing
Class is committed to complying with all laws and regulations that may apply to The
Birthing Class’s collection, use, and disclosure of Personal Information. For example,
data located in the EU may be subject to the General Data Protection Regulation
(“GDPR”), which allows for eligible data subjects to withdraw their consent to the
collection and processing of Personal Information, as well as to exercise the following
rights:
● Right to be Informed.
● Right to Access.
● Right to Rectify.
● Right to Erasure.
● Right to Restrict Processing.
● Right to Data Portability.
● Right to Object.
● Rights related to Automated Individual Decision-Making and Profiling.
Users from the European Economic Area (EEA) also have the right to opt out of
Cookies. If you believe you are entitled to certain rights based on your home country or
location, please contact us by email at customerservice@thebirthingclass.co. You may
also have the right to complain to a data protection authority about our collection and
use of your Personal Information. For more information, please contact your local data
protection authority. Withdrawing your consent will not affect the lawfulness of any
processing we conducted prior to your withdrawal, nor will it affect processing of your
Personal Information conducted in reliance on lawful processing grounds other than
consent. Our legal basis for collecting and using the Personal Information described
above will depend on the Personal Information concerned and the specific context in
which we collect it. However, we will normally collect or process Personal Information
from you only where we have your consent to do so, where we need the Personal
Information to perform a contract with you, or where the processing is in our legitimate
interests and not overridden by your data protection interests or fundamental rights and
freedoms. In some cases, we may also have a legal obligation to collect Personal
Information from you or may otherwise need the Personal Information to protect your
vital interests or those of another person.
b. Notice to California Users
California law permits users who are California residents to request and obtain from us
once a year, free of charge, a list of the third parties to whom we have disclosed their
Personal Information (if any, and as defined under applicable California law) for such
third parties’ direct marketing purposes in the prior calendar year, as well as the type of
Personal Information disclosed to those parties. If you are a California resident and
would like to request this information, please submit your request to
customerservice@thebirthingclass.co
This Supplemental California Privacy Notice only applies to our processing of Personal
Information that is subject to the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (“CCPA”). The
CCPA specifies that natural persons who are California residents have the right to know
what categories of Personal Information we have collected about them and whether we
have disclosed or sold that Personal Information for a business purpose (e.g., to a
service provider) in the preceding twelve (12) months. For purposes of the CCPA, we do
not “sell” Personal Information, nor do we have actual knowledge of any “sale” of
Personal Information of minors under 16 years of age.
Categories of Personal Information we may collect about you:
● Identifiers (ex: name, email address, mailing address, phone number);
● Personal Information categories listed in the California User Records
Statute (Cal. Civ. Code § 1798.80(e)) (ex: passport number, driver's license or
state identification card number, or financial information,);
● Protected classification characteristics under California or federal law (ex:
age, gender, or sex);
● Commercial information (ex: sales engagement history);

Personal Information to third parties who intend to license or sell that Personal
Information. Please note that we do not currently sell your Personal Information As sales
are defined in Nevada Revised Statutes Chapter 603A. If you have any questions,
please contact us as at customerservice@thebirthingclass.co.

Only you, or someone legally authorized to act on your behalf, may make a verifiable
user request related to your Personal Information. You may also make a verifiable user
request on behalf of your minor child. In order to verify your request, we will ask you to
provide your name, email address, and certain other pieces of identifying information.
Once you or your authorized agent has submitted the requested information and any
necessary supporting documentation, we will confirm the information by reviewing it
against our records and may additionally use the services of a third-party service
provider to verify your identity. The only purpose for which we will use such submitted
information is to verify your identity and once the submitted information has been used
for that purpose, it will be deleted from our records in accordance with this Policy. To
Designate an authorized agent, please contact us as at
customerservice@thebirthingclass.co
5. How We Protect & Store Your Information
We store and process your Personal Information using third-party servers located in data
centers in the United States. We employ administrative, physical, and technical safeguards,
including firewalls and data encryption, designed to protect your information from unauthorized
access and to comply with applicable privacy laws in the states and countries in which we
operate. Your Personal Information will be kept on our servers or on those of our service
providers and only those employees that require it for the purposes of their duties will have
access to your Personal Information.
Despite these efforts, no security measures are perfect or impenetrable and no method of data
transmission can be guaranteed to prevent any unauthorized interception, access, disclosure,
alteration, destruction, or other type of misuse. We also depend on you to protect your
information. Therefore, we urge you to take adequate precautions to protect your personal data
as well, including never sharing your account password with anyone. If you become aware of
any breach of security or privacy, please notify us immediately. To the fullest extent permitted by
applicable law, we do not accept liability for unauthorized disclosure.
If The Birthing Class learns of a systems security breach, we may attempt to notify you
electronically so that you can take appropriate protective steps. By using the Services, you
agree that we may communicate with you electronically. We may post a notice on the Platform
or through the Services if a security breach occurs. We may also send an email to you at the
email address you have provided to us. Depending on where you live, you may have a legal
right to receive notice of a security breach in writing. To receive free written notice of a security
breach (or to withdraw your consent from receiving electronic notice of a security breach),
please contact us at customerservice@thebirthingclass.co.
a. International Data Transfers
All information processed by The Birthing Class or our service providers may be
transferred, processed, or stored anywhere in the world, including in countries that may
have data protection laws that are different from the laws where you live. Your
information may be accessible to the courts, law enforcement, and national security
authorities of the United States. We endeavor to safeguard your information consistent
with the requirements of applicable laws. If your Personal Information is transferred to a
country other than your home country, we will take measures to protect your Personal
Information with appropriate measures, such as contract clauses. To obtain more
information about our policies and practices with respect to service providers outside
your country, please contact us at customerservice@thebirthingclass.co.
b. Data Retention
We retain Personal Information we collect from you where we have an ongoing
legitimate business need to do so (for example, to provide you with a service you have
requested or to comply with applicable legal, tax, or accounting requirements). When we
have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your Personal Information, we will
either delete or anonymize it or, if this is not possible (for example, because your
Personal Information has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store
your Personal Information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is
possible.
c. Links to Third-Party Platforms
The Services may contain links to (or allow you to link to) other third-party services or
websites. We do not control the information collection of third-party services or websites
that can be reached through such links. This Policy only covers the privacy practices of
The Birthing Class. It does not apply to the practices of third-party websites, services, or
applications, even those who we've partnered or integrated with. We encourage you to
be aware when you are linking to a third-party service or website and to read the privacy
statements of any third-party service or website that collects personally identifiable
information. Third-party services handle your information in accordance with their own
practices and privacy policies. We are not responsible for their policies, practices, or
handling of your information.
6. Cookies & Do-Not-Track Signals
When you use the Platform or Services, we and certain business partners and vendors may use
essential and non-essential Cookies and other tracking technologies to recognize you as a
customer; customize the Services and other content; measure the effectiveness of promotions;
perform a wide range of analytics; mitigate risk and prevent potential fraud; and to promote trust
and safety across the Platform and Services. Certain Services are only available through the
use of Cookies, so if you choose to disable or decline Cookies, your use of certain Services may
be limited or not possible. Please note that a third-party website may place Cookies of its own.
We have no control over third-party websites or the Cookies they set. Do-Not-Track ("DNT") is
an optional browser setting that allows you to express your preferences regarding tracking by
advertisers and other third parties. We do not respond to DNT signals.

The Services are not directed to children under the age of 16. If we obtain actual knowledge that
we have collected Personal Information from a child under the age of 13, for purposes of the US
Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act, a child under the age of 16, where GDPR is applicable,
or from a California resident child under the age of 18, for purposes of the Online Eraser Law,
and do not otherwise have verifiable parental consent to collect and process such Personal
Information, we will promptly delete it unless we are legally obligated to retain such data.
Contact us if you believe that we have mistakenly or unintentionally collected information from
an underage User or you would like to request the deletion of your User data pursuant to this
section.
8. Changes to this Policy
We are always improving, and we may occasionally modify or update this Policy accordingly.
Any information that we collect is subject to the policy in effect at the time such information is
collected. We may, however, modify and revise this Policy from time to time. If we make any
material changes to this Policy, we may use the email address or other Personal Information
you’ve provided to us to notify you of such changes, post a notification on the Platform, or
