Introduction
I am Sarah Simone Degethof (the surfing doula) and I am committed in protecting your privacy. Whether you’re exploring my website (www.thesurfingdoula.org) or journeying with me through the doula offerings, this Privacy Policy explains how I collect, use, share and safeguard your information.
