Privacy & scope of services

Last updated: November 2026

Scope of our services

Safe Embrace is a student-led initiative. We provide non-medical postpartum supplies in Canada and clinical delivery kits in Uganda, and we share information about services run by other organizations.

We are not a healthcare provider and do not give medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Our kits do not replace care from a doctor, midwife, or nurse. If you or your baby need urgent medical help, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department. For non-urgent health advice in Ontario, call 811.

Organizations listed on our Resources page are independent. We can't guarantee their availability, eligibility, or services.

Information we collect

When you use our contact form, we collect the information you enter: your name, email address, organization (if provided), topic, and message. We don't ask for health information, and we ask that you don't include it.

Form messages are delivered to our email through a third-party service, Web3Forms. Our website is hosted by Cloudflare Pages, which may process basic technical information such as IP addresses to keep the site running securely. We do not use advertising trackers or analytics.

How we use it

We use your information only to reply to your message and to coordinate volunteering, donations, or partnerships you've asked about. We don't sell or share your information with others, except where needed to respond to you (for example, connecting you with a partner organization, with your permission).

How long we keep it

We keep messages only as long as we need them to respond and follow up, and no longer than 12 months, unless we’re still working with you.

Photos and stories

We only share photos or stories of people with their permission. If you appear in something we've shared and would like it removed, email us and we'll take it down.
