Effective Date: June 10, 2026

This Privacy Policy describes how your personal data is collected, used, and protected when you visit or interact with The Knitting Birthkeeper (the "Website"), operating from Utrecht, Netherlands.

1. Data Protection & GDPR Compliance

Because my work involves holding space for deeply personal transitions, your privacy is a foundational element of my practice. I process personal data strictly in accordance with the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

2. Information I Collect

When you interact with this Website, I may collect the following information:

  • Contact Data: Your name and email address, when you fill out a contact form, use the availability widget, or request a consultation.

  • Journey Data: Voluntary details you choose to share regarding your estimated due date, postpartum timeline, or care wishes so I can check my calendar availability.

  • Technical Data: Basic, anonymous connection data (IP address, browser type) used strictly to ensure the secure and functional performance of the Website.

3. How Your Data is Used

I use your information strictly to:

  • Respond to your initial contact requests, inquiries, and booking calls.

  • Verify calendar availability for your birth window or postpartum support.

  • Manage our scheduled care sessions and billing agreements.

I do not sell, rent, or distribute your personal details to third parties. If we establish a birth care agreement, any sensitive data is treated under strict professional confidentiality.

4. Third-Party Services

To keep my digital space running efficiently, I rely on trusted service partners who also maintain strict GDPR compliance standards:

  • Website Hosting: Hostinger (secure server infrastructure).

  • Communication: My dedicated, encrypted business messaging channels.

5. Data Retention

I store your personal contact details only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which they were collected or to comply with statutory Dutch tax laws regarding financial billing records.

6. Your Legal Rights

Under the GDPR, you have the absolute right to:

  • Access, update, or correct the personal data I hold about you.

  • Request the permanent deletion of your contact files from my communication lines.

  • Withdraw your consent to data processing at any moment.
