Privacy Policy

Last Updated: January 2026

At Beacon Light Doulas, we understand the profound sensitivity of end-of-life work. We are committed to protecting the privacy of both the dying person and their circle of care.

Information We Collect: We collect personal data (names, contact info) and sensitive information related to end-of-life wishes, health history, and family dynamics necessary to provide our services.

Confidentiality & Post-Death Privacy: We maintain strict confidentiality. Our duty to protect your privacy continues after death. We will not share details of your journey or your family’s information without prior written consent (e.g., for a testimonial or case study).

Mandatory Disclosure: We will only disclose information without consent if required by law (e.g., a subpoena) or if we have a good-faith belief that disclosure is necessary to prevent serious and imminent harm to an individual.

Third-Party Tools: We use secure providers for scheduling and payments. While we take measures to secure your data, please be aware that standard email (hello @beaconlightdoulas .com) is not a 100% secure medium for sensitive health documents.

Data Retention: We retain records as required for insurance and business purposes, typically for [7 years] following the conclusion of services.
