1. Scope and operator
This policy applies to the public website, forms, account or portal paths, and communications controlled by BearSchiele. The responsible operator is the legal entity identified for any resulting engagement; the BearSchiele public brand alone does not create a client relationship. A separate written agreement may provide additional or controlling terms for a specific service.
2. Information we collect
Depending on how you use the site, we may collect contact and professional information, partnership or opportunity context, discovery and routing details, public-site communications, site and device activity.
- Information you provide directly
- Information created through your use of an account, form, or service
- Technical information collected to operate, secure, and improve the experience
- Information received from service providers or your organization when authorized
3. How information is used
- Respond to inquiries and route requests
- Provide, administer, support, and improve the applicable experience
- Maintain security, prevent misuse, and investigate incidents
- Create records required for billing, access, delivery, audit, or legal obligations
- Communicate material service or policy changes
4. AI and automated assistance
AI-assisted features may organize information, generate drafts or recommendations, summarize content, or suggest a next action. Outputs can be incomplete or wrong and require human review. We do not represent automated output as a final professional judgment or as a decision with legal or similarly significant effect.
5. Sharing and service providers
We do not sell personal information. Information may be shared with hosting, authentication, database, communications, analytics, payment, security, AI-model, and professional service providers only as reasonably necessary for their function; with an organization sponsoring an authorized experience; during a lawful business transaction; or when required to protect rights, safety, security, or comply with law.
6. Security and sensitive information
We use administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards appropriate to the nature of the service. No online system can guarantee absolute security.
This founder-brand site does not publish personal contact information or accept confidential client material through public pages. Use the approved secure path for any active engagement.
7. Retention
Information is retained only as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose collected, the active relationship, operational continuity, dispute resolution, security, and legal or contractual duties. Aggregated or de-identified information may be retained when it no longer reasonably identifies a person.
8. Cookies, analytics, and third-party links
Necessary cookies and similar technologies may support sessions, preferences, security, and performance. Optional analytics may be used where configured. Browser settings can limit cookies, though some features may stop working. Third-party sites and services apply their own policies.
9. Your choices and rights
Depending on location and applicable law, you may request access, correction, deletion, restriction, portability, or an explanation of relevant processing. Submit a verified request through “Use the BearSchiele client portal.” We may retain information when required by law, contract, security, or legitimate recordkeeping needs.
10. Children
The site and services are not directed to children under 16, and we do not knowingly collect their personal information without appropriate authorization. Contact us if you believe a child submitted information improperly.
11. Changes and contact
Material revisions will be posted on this page with an updated date. Questions or privacy requests may be submitted through use the bearschiele client portal at https://bearschiele.app/client-portal/.
