This Privacy Policy describes how your personal information is collected, used, and shared when you visit or make a purchase from www.themindfulbirthgroup.com (the “Site”), participate in our online community via Circle.so (you can view Circle’s Privacy Policy here ) or use the AI-supported Mindful Birth & PregnaHub® App.
PERSONAL INFORMATION WE COLLECT
When you visit the Site, we automatically collect certain information about your device, including your web browser, IP address, time zone, and cookies installed on your device. As you browse, we collect data about the individual web pages or products you view, what websites or search terms referred you, and how you interact with the Site. We refer to this as “Device Information.”
We collect Device Information using the following technologies:
- Cookies – Data files placed on your device, often including an anonymous unique identifier. Learn more at www.allaboutcookies.org.
- Log files – Track actions on the Site and collect data such as your IP address, browser type, ISP, referring/exit pages, and date/time stamps.
- Web beacons, tags, and pixels – Electronic files used to record how you browse the Site.
When you make or attempt a purchase through the Site, we collect personal details including your name, billing and shipping addresses, payment information (such as credit card numbers), email address, and phone number. This is referred to as “Order Information.”
If you use our Mindful Birth & PregnaHub® App, we may collect additional data voluntarily provided by you, such as your pregnancy stage, user preferences, and your interactions with AI-powered features. This data is used strictly to personalise your support experience and enhance your journey.
When we refer to “Personal Information” in this policy, we mean both Device and Order Information, as well as information collected through our app and community platform.

- Fulfil orders placed through the Site (e.g., processing payments, delivering products/services, providing order confirmations).
- Communicate with you.
- Screen orders for potential risk or fraud.
- Provide updates, marketing, and personalised content in line with your preferences.
We use Device Information to:

Use of AI
Please note that all AI-powered features are governed by responsible data use and are designed to uphold privacy, safety, and ethical guidance in accordance with our brand values.
Some features within our app and community may use AI technologies to enhance your experience- for example, by offering personalised content, summarising discussions, or helping to guide you to appropriate resources. These systems are designed to support, not replace, professional or clinical advice.
You have the right to request human review of any significant decision made solely by automated means. If you have concerns about how AI has been used to personalise or limit your experience, please contact us and we will review it
Where AI tools are used to personalise your support journey, we do so under the lawful basis of legitimate interests, or where appropriate, your explicit consent.
By using the app and submitting information related to your pregnancy, mental or physical wellbeing, you consent to the processing of this special category data in order to receive personalised content and support.
AI-powered features within our app and online community are intended to support your educational and wellbeing journey. They do not replace professional medical advice or clinical guidance. Always consult with a qualified healthcare provider for medical concerns.
AI features may inform content suggestions or support pathways, but they do not make final decisions about your access to support, resources, or care pathways.
Some AI features are supported through our technology partner Circle.so, which may process anonymised or pseudonymised data to deliver services. You can view Circle’s Privacy Policy here. Pseudonymised data means we remove or replace identifying details so that the data can no longer be linked to you directly without additional information. Anonymised data has all identifying information permanently removed.
User data is not used to train or improve AI models. AI services operate within a secure, privacy-preserving framework.
