Information We Collect

We collect information you provide directly when you:

• Submit the pre-assessment form
• Book a discovery call
• Sign up for our email list
• Contact us by email or through any form on this site
• Engage in a coaching relationship

This information may include your name, email address, phone number, and responses to assessment or intake questions. We do not collect sensitive financial data through this website — payment processing is handled by third-party providers.

We may also collect non-personal information automatically through website analytics, including pages visited, time on site, and general location data (country or region). This data is used in aggregate and is not linked to your identity.

How We Use Your Information

Information you provide is used to:

• Schedule and prepare for discovery calls and coaching sessions
• Communicate with you about your coaching engagement
• Send email communications you have opted into
• Improve our services and website

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to any third party for marketing purposes.

Coaching Confidentiality

Information shared in the context of a coaching relationship is treated with confidentiality. We do not disclose personal details shared in sessions, pre-assessments, or correspondence without your consent, except as required by law or in situations involving imminent risk of harm to you or others.

Please note that coaching confidentiality is distinct from the legal confidentiality protections that apply to licensed therapists or attorneys. As a coaching practice, The Bearded Coach LLC is not subject to HIPAA.

Third-Party Services

This website and coaching operations use the following third-party platforms, which have their own privacy policies:

• GoHighLevel (GHL) — CRM, scheduling, and form processing
• Email service providers — for list management and automated communications
• Payment processors — for handling transactions (we do not store payment card details)

We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party services you interact with through this website.

If you opt into our email list, you will receive periodic communications related to coaching, personal development, and updates from The Bearded Coach. You may unsubscribe at any time using the link provided in every email. We do not send unsolicited commercial email.

Data Retention

We retain your information for as long as necessary to provide services and fulfill legal obligations. If you would like your information removed from our records, please contact us directly at [email protected] and we will respond within a reasonable timeframe.

Cookies

This website may use cookies for basic functionality and analytics. Cookies are small text files stored on your device. You may configure your browser to decline cookies, though some site features may not function correctly if you do.

We do not use cookies to track you across third-party websites or for advertising purposes.
