Privacy Policy

Blueprint Vision Ventures, Inc. ("BVV," "we," "us," or "our") operates DeathDoula.org (the "Site"), a privately operated, for-profit educational and professional directory platform.

This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, store, and protect personal information when you visit DeathDoula.org, register for updates, purchase a listing, access a private listing profile, or communicate with us.

1. Scope

This Privacy Policy applies to DeathDoula.org, including its public educational pages, interest forms, paid listing registrations, purchaser account access, private listing profiles, and related administrative processes.

The public professional directory is planned to open in April 2027. Before that launch, purchasers may establish and submit private listing profiles for review.

This policy does not govern The Confident Death Doula™, PTW Collective™, BVV Connect, DeathDoula.app, or third-party websites or services that maintain their own privacy policies.

If DeathDoula.org introduces additional features involving new categories of personal information, we will update this policy as appropriate before activating those features.

2. Information We Collect

Information You Provide

Depending on how you use DeathDoula.org, we may collect:

• First and last name.
• Email address.
• City, state or province, country, and professional service area.
• Professional role or relationship to end-of-life support.
• Business or organization name.
• Professional and business contact information.
• Selected interests and requested updates.
• Information submitted through interest forms or communications.
• Information included in a purchased listing profile.

Purchaser and Transaction Information

When you purchase a listing, we may collect or maintain:

• Purchaser name and email address.
• Purchased listing category.
• Purchase date, amount, currency, and payment status.
• Transaction and checkout reference identifiers.
• Applicable terms acceptance and related records.
• Listing registration and administrative review status.
• Information necessary to associate a verified purchase with its authorized purchaser.

Payments are processed through third-party payment providers, including Stripe.

BVV does not intentionally collect or store complete payment card numbers or card security codes through its listing registration system. Payment providers may collect and process additional payment information under their own privacy policies.

Purchaser Authentication Information

DeathDoula.org may use secure email magic-link authentication to allow purchasers to access their private listing profiles.

Information associated with authentication may include:

• Verified email address.
• Authentication account identifier.
• Sign-in and session-related records.
• Security and authentication logs.
• Information necessary to link an authenticated purchaser to verified purchases.

Authentication links are intended for the authorized recipient and should not be shared.

Professional Listing Information

For Professional Listing and Professional Connect registrations, purchasers may provide:

• Professional name and business information.
• Geographic service area and virtual service availability.
• Description of nonmedical services.
• Training, experience, and professional background.
• Professional contact information intended for eventual publication.
• Professional Background & Practice Information responses.
• Publication consent.
• Other information requested in the approved listing form.

Self-reported professional information may address completed doula training, current professional practice status and availability, and, if voluntarily provided, business registration and liability insurance arrangements.

These statements are provided by the professional. BVV does not independently verify supporting credentials or collect credential documents as part of the standard listing process.

Business and Education Listing Information

For Funeral, Memorial & Other End-of-Life Services and End-of-Life Doula and Death Education registrations, purchasers may provide:

• Business or education provider name.
• Description of services, programs, or educational offerings.
• Geographic service area or virtual availability.
• Business contact information.
• Website and other approved professional links.
• Images or logos where supported.
• Publication consent.
• Other category-specific listing information.

Business and education listings are not subject to the doula training requirements unless separately stated in their applicable listing terms.

Listing information in all four categories is supplied by purchasers or their authorized representatives and may include self-reported claims. BVV does not independently verify the identity or legal existence of businesses or organizations, business registrations, licenses, insurance, professional credentials, training, certifications, or the accuracy of education provider representations, and does not routinely collect or store supporting credential, licensing, insurance, or business registration documents.

Administrative Review Information

We may maintain information associated with listing administration, including:

• Draft and submission status.
• Dates of submission and review.
• Requests for corrections.
• Administrative notes.
• Approval status.
• Publication status.
• Records of relevant purchaser communications.

Administrative review concerns listing completeness, appropriateness, and compliance with published participation requirements. It is not independent verification, certification, endorsement, or a guarantee of legitimacy.

Account, authentication, payment, and administrative review information remains private. Only listing information approved and authorized for publication is intended to appear in the public directory.

Draft, declined, and unpublished registration information is not displayed publicly and is accessible only to the purchaser and authorized BVV administrators.

Information Collected Automatically

When you visit or use the Site, our hosting, authentication, security, analytics, or technology providers may collect technical information, including:

• Internet protocol address.
• Browser, device, and operating system information.
• Referring pages.
• Pages visited and interactions with the Site.
• Date, time, and approximate location derived from an IP address.
• Authentication and security events.
• Cookies, session information, and similar technical data.

The information actually collected depends on the technologies enabled on the Site.

Please do not submit medical records, protected health information, confidential client records, or sensitive information about another person through DeathDoula.org.

3. How We Use Personal Information

We may use personal information to:

• Operate, maintain, secure, and improve DeathDoula.org.
• Respond to questions and communications.
• Record and manage interest registrations.
• Process and administer listing purchases.
• Verify payment and associate purchases with authorized purchasers.
• Provide secure access to private listing profiles.
• Allow purchasers to complete, save, edit, and submit listing information.
• Conduct administrative listing reviews.
• Request corrections or additional listing information.
• Prepare approved listings for future publication.
• Publish authorized listing information when the public directory becomes available.
• Send purchase, account access, submission, review, and other service-related communications.
• Send promotional updates when requested or otherwise permitted.
• Prevent fraud, spam, unauthorized access, and security incidents.
• Maintain business, financial, consent, and administrative records.
• Comply with legal obligations and enforce applicable terms.
• Support legitimate business transactions, subject to appropriate safeguards.

Information submitted through an interest form will not automatically become a public listing.

Purchasing a listing does not automatically authorize immediate public publication.

4. Private Profiles and Public Directory Information

Before the public directory launches, purchaser listing profiles are intended to remain private and accessible only to authorized purchasers, BVV administrators, and service providers performing authorized functions.

Administrative approval does not automatically publish a profile.

When BVV authorizes public directory publication, approved listing information may become accessible to visitors and searchable through DeathDoula.org.

Public listing information may include professional or business names, descriptions, services, service areas, professional contact information, websites, and other fields specifically designated for publication.

Purchasers will be asked to provide publication consent as part of the listing process.

Private purchaser account identifiers, payment transaction records, authentication information, internal administrative notes, and information not designated for public display will not be included in public directory profiles.

Once information is publicly available, third parties may view, copy, reference, or otherwise use that information outside BVV's control. We cannot guarantee the removal of information previously captured by independent third parties.

Purchasers may contact BVV to request corrections or removal of their published listing, subject to applicable agreements and legal obligations.

5. Email Communications

Interest and Promotional Communications

If you register for updates, we may send communications related to your selected interests, including launch announcements, educational resources, events, and participation opportunities.

You may unsubscribe from promotional emails using the unsubscribe link or by contacting BVV.

Transactional and Account Communications

Purchasers may receive communications necessary to administer their registrations, including:

• Payment confirmations.
• Secure account access instructions.
• Listing submission confirmations.
• Requests for profile corrections.
• Administrative approval notifications.
• Important account, payment, security, or service updates.

These communications are separate from optional promotional emails.

Unsubscribing from promotional communications does not prevent necessary transactional or administrative messages.

We may retain limited suppression records to honor email preferences.

6. How We Disclose Information

We may disclose personal information to:

• Hosting, database, authentication, security, and technology providers supporting the Site.
• Payment processors supporting purchase transactions.
• Email delivery and communication providers.
• Analytics and operational service providers where applicable.
• Professional advisers, including attorneys, accountants, auditors, and insurers.
• Government authorities or other parties when required by law or reasonably necessary to protect rights, safety, security, or the Site.
• Parties involved in a financing, merger, reorganization, sale, or transfer of the business.
• Other parties when you authorize or direct disclosure.

Service providers are expected to handle information in accordance with applicable agreements and law.

When the public directory launches, information approved and authorized for publication will become available to Site visitors.

We do not sell personal information for money.

We do not currently use personal information collected through DeathDoula.org for cross-context behavioral advertising.

If these practices change, we will update our disclosures and provide legally required choices.

7. Cookies and Similar Technologies

DeathDoula.org and its technology providers may use cookies or similar technologies for:

• Authentication and session management.
• Website security.
• Form operation.
• Preferences.
• Performance and analytics, where enabled.

Some cookies or similar technologies may be necessary for secure account access and website operation.

You may be able to manage cookies through your browser settings. Disabling certain technologies may prevent account sign-in or other functions from operating correctly.

If nonessential advertising or tracking technologies requiring additional notice or consent are introduced, we will provide appropriate disclosures and controls.

8. Data Retention

We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to provide requested services, administer purchases and listings, maintain accurate business records, meet legal obligations, protect the Site, and resolve disputes.

Retention may vary depending on the information involved.

For example:

• Interest registrations may be retained while a person remains subscribed or until the information is no longer needed.
• Purchaser and payment records may be retained to meet financial, tax, contractual, and legal requirements.
• Private listing profiles may be retained while a listing registration remains active or is under administrative review.
• Published listing information may be retained while the listing remains active, subject to applicable terms and removal requests.
• Authentication and security records may be retained as reasonably necessary to maintain account security and investigate misuse.
• Consent and terms acceptance records may be retained to document authorization and compliance.

When information is no longer reasonably required, we may delete, deidentify, or securely retain it in accordance with applicable law and backup procedures.

9. Data Security

BVV uses reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect personal information.

These may include authenticated account access, server-side authorization, database access restrictions, payment verification, and measures intended to prevent unauthorized access to private listing information.

Purchasers are responsible for protecting access to their registered email accounts and not sharing secure authentication links.

No electronic transmission, website, or storage system can be guaranteed completely secure.

If you suspect unauthorized access to your listing account, please contact BVV.

10. Your Privacy Choices and Rights

You may:

• Unsubscribe from promotional communications.
• Request access to personal information associated with your registration.
• Request correction of inaccurate information.
• Request deletion of eligible information, subject to applicable legal and operational exceptions.
• Request correction or removal of a published listing.
• Ask questions about how your information is collected or used.

Depending on your location, applicable privacy laws may provide additional rights, including access, correction, deletion, portability, restrictions on certain uses, or appeals of privacy decisions.

11. Children's Privacy

DeathDoula.org is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

If you believe a child has submitted personal information, please contact BVV so we can review and address the request.

The professional listing registration system is intended for adults authorized to enter into the applicable purchase agreement.

12. United States Operations and International Visitors

DeathDoula.org is operated from the United States.

Information may be processed or stored in the United States or other locations where our service providers operate, subject to applicable law.

Visitors accessing the Site from other countries should understand that applicable privacy protections may differ from those in their country of residence.

13. Third-Party Websites and Services

DeathDoula.org may link to third-party websites, professional websites, payment services, or other external resources.

Those services operate under their own privacy policies and terms.

BVV does not control the independent privacy practices of third parties.

14. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy as DeathDoula.org develops, introduces new services, or responds to legal requirements.

The updated policy will be posted with a revised effective date.
