Borne ("we," "us," or "our") operates bornesurrogacy.com. Borne is a surrogacy matching service that screens prospective surrogates and connects qualified candidates with trusted partner agencies. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and protect your personal information when you visit our website or submit our screening questionnaire.
When you complete our screening questionnaire, we collect the following information:
We also automatically collect basic technical information when you visit our site, such as your IP address, browser type, and pages visited. We do not use tracking cookies for advertising purposes.
We use the information you provide to evaluate whether you may be eligible for surrogacy, to contact you about your submission, and — if you qualify — to connect you with a trusted partner surrogacy agency. We may also use your contact information to respond to questions you send us.
We do not use your information for marketing purposes unless you explicitly opt in. We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties.
If you qualify through our screening process and consent to move forward, we may share relevant portions of your questionnaire responses with a partner surrogacy agency for the purpose of furthering your surrogacy journey. We will always inform you before sharing your information and will only share it with the specific agency we are introducing you to.
We may also share information if required to do so by law or to protect the rights, safety, or property of Borne or others.
Your questionnaire responses are submitted through Netlify Forms and stored on Netlify's servers, which are SOC 2 compliant and use encryption at rest and in transit. Access to submission data is restricted to authorized Borne personnel only.
Our website uses HTTPS encryption to protect data transmitted between your browser and our servers. While no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, we take reasonable measures to protect your personal information.
We retain your questionnaire responses for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this policy, or as required by law. If you are not eligible or choose not to proceed, we will delete your information within 12 months of your submission unless you request earlier deletion.
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:
To exercise any of these rights, contact us at [email protected]. We will respond to your request within 30 days.
Our service is not directed to individuals under the age of 21. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 21. If we become aware that we have collected information from someone under 21, we will delete it promptly.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make material changes, we will update the effective date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
