Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 2026.

Overview

This website is operated by Little Bear Pond LLC (“we,” “us,” or “our”). We respect your privacy and collect only the information needed to operate this site and to respond to messages you choose to send us.

Information we collect

We collect information in two ways:

• Information you provide. When you use our contact form, we receive the name, email address, and any other details you enter, together with your message. We use this only to read and respond to your enquiry.
• Technical information. Like most websites, our hosting provider may automatically log standard technical data such as IP address, browser type, and pages requested. This is used for security and to keep the site running.

How we use information

We use the information we collect to respond to enquiries, to operate and secure the website, and to comply with applicable law. We do not sell your personal information.

Access requests and the member portal

If you request access to our private portal, we collect the information you provide (including your name, contact details, questionnaire answers, and confidentiality-agreement signature) and record the date, time, and network (IP) address of your submission. If your account is approved and activated, we log security-relevant activity — such as sign-ins, one-time-code delivery, and document downloads — together with IP address and browser information. We do this to protect confidential materials, to maintain a record of who has agreed to our confidentiality terms, and to detect misuse. This information is retained for as long as reasonably necessary for those purposes.

Cookies

This site aims to keep cookies to a minimum. The website software may set essential cookies needed for basic functionality and security. We do not use this site for third-party advertising tracking.

Sharing

We may share information with service providers who help us operate the website (such as our hosting and email providers), and where required by law. Any such providers are expected to handle information responsibly and only as needed to provide their services.

Data retention

We keep enquiry messages for as long as needed to respond and to maintain a reasonable business record, after which they may be deleted.

Your choices

You may contact us to ask what information we hold about you, to request a correction, or to request deletion, subject to any legal obligations we have to retain it. To make a request, use the contact details below.
