Privacy Policy

Effective Date: 2025-09-01
Last Updated: 2026-08-11

At Bearium Networks, your privacy matters. This policy outlines how we collect, use, and protect your information when you visit our website, subscribe to our newsletter, or interact with our SMS communications.

1. Who We Are

Our website address is: https://bearium.net.

We are a Technology Service Provider based in Orlando, Florida, offering cybersecurity, IT strategy, and support services to small businesses throughout the United States.

2. Information We Collect

We may collect the following information:

• Email address
• First and last name
• Company name and/or job role
• Website interaction and engagement data (e.g., link clicks, time on page, newsletter opens)
• Mobile phone number (if you opt-in to receive SMS communications)

We do not collect user comments, file uploads, or other user-generated content.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the information exclusively to:

• Send newsletters and updates
• Improve the quality and relevance of our content
• Share relevant service offerings
• Send SMS notifications and updates if you have provided explicit consent

We do not sell your information or share it with third parties for advertising purposes.

4. Cookies and Consent

We use a small number of cookies and similar technologies, grouped as follows:

• Necessary: required for the site to work and to keep it secure. These include your theme preference and the bot-protection check on our forms. They are always active and do not require consent.
• Analytics: Google Analytics 4, which helps us understand how visitors use the site, such as which pages are read and how people arrive. These load only after you accept them.

When you first visit, a banner lets you Accept or Reject analytics cookies. Analytics stay off until you accept. We apply your choice through Google Consent Mode, so no analytics cookies are set and no analytics data is collected until you consent. You can change your choice at any time using the Cookie Preferences link in the site footer, and you can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings.

5. Embedded Content from Other Websites

Some pages may contain embedded content (e.g., videos, images, or articles). Embedded content from other websites behaves the same as if you visited the other site directly.

These external sites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with their content.

6. Who We Share Your Data With

If you submit a form or request a password reset (for applicable users), your IP address may be included in the system-generated response.

We may also use trusted third-party platforms to manage communications and analytics, all of which are bound by privacy agreements and applicable laws.

SMS consent and phone numbers are not shared with third parties or affiliates.

7. How Long We Retain Your Data

We retain personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purpose for which it was collected, or as required by law. If you unsubscribe from our communications, your email address will be removed from our list within ten (10) days.

If you opt out of SMS communications, your phone number will be removed from our SMS list within ten (10) days.

8. What Rights You Have Over Your Data

You may request an export of your personal data or request that we delete it by contacting privacy@bearium.net. This does not include data we are required to retain for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

9. Where Your Data Is Sent

Form submissions and analytics data may be processed through third-party systems for spam filtering, security checks, or performance analysis.

SMS data is processed only through our SMS service provider to deliver messages you have consented to receive.

10. Data Security

We use encryption, access controls, and industry-standard security measures to protect your information. Only authorized personnel have access to personal data.

11. SMS Consent

12. Your California Privacy Rights (CCPA and CPRA)

If you are a California resident, the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act, gives you specific rights regarding your personal information.

Categories we collect. In the past twelve months we have collected these categories of personal information: identifiers (such as name, email address, and phone number), commercial or professional information (such as company name and job role), and internet or electronic network activity (such as page views and engagement data). We collect this information from you directly and from your interaction with our website.

How we use it. We use these categories for the purposes described in Section 3 of this policy.

We do not sell or share your personal information. We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising, as those terms are defined under California law. We have not done so in the past twelve months.

Your rights. You have the right to:

• Know what personal information we collect, use, and disclose.
• Request that we delete personal information we have collected from you.
• Request that we correct inaccurate personal information.
• Opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information. We do not sell or share, so there is nothing to opt out of.
• Not receive discriminatory treatment for exercising any of these rights.

How to exercise your rights. Email us at privacy@bearium.net. We will verify your request using the information we already hold about you, and we will respond within the timeframe required by law. You may use an authorized agent to submit a request on your behalf.

13. Your European and UK Privacy Rights (GDPR)

If you are in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, the General Data Protection Regulation and the UK GDPR give you specific rights, and Bearium Networks acts as the controller of your personal data.

Legal bases. We process your personal data on these bases:

• Consent, for newsletter sign-ups, SMS messages, and analytics cookies. You may withdraw consent at any time.
• Legitimate interests, for operating and securing the website and responding to your inquiries.
• Contract, where we process data to provide services you have requested.

Your rights. You have the right to access, correct, delete, or restrict the processing of your personal data, to object to processing, to request data portability, and to withdraw consent at any time without affecting processing already carried out. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local supervisory authority.

International transfers. We are based in the United States, and your data is processed there and by our service providers. Where required, we rely on appropriate safeguards, such as the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses, to protect data transferred out of the EEA or the UK.

How to exercise your rights. Email us at privacy@bearium.net.
