Withdrawal of consent may limit your ability to use certain features of the Platform.
In accordance with Canada's Anti-Spam Legislation (CASL):
The Platform uses generative AI to summarize public-policy documents, generate intelligence briefings, and provide chat-based analysis. To deliver these features, certain information is sent to Anthropic, PBC (the provider of the Claude AI models we use), which operates in the United States.
Anthropic's API does not retain inputs or outputs for model training. Anthropic's data handling practices are governed by their Commercial Terms and Privacy Policy.
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We share your information only in the following circumstances:
We use third-party services to operate the Platform. Each provider only accesses your data as necessary to perform their services and is bound by its own privacy commitments and applicable data-protection laws.
| Provider | Purpose | Location |
|---|---|---|
| Supabase | Authentication and database hosting | Canada / United States |
| DigitalOcean | Application server hosting | Canada (Toronto region) |
| Anthropic, PBC | AI summarization and briefing generation (Claude API) | United States |
| SendGrid (Twilio) | Email delivery and engagement tracking | United States |
| Stripe | Payment processing and subscription billing | United States / Canada |

If you are part of a Team, Professional, or Enterprise subscription, your name and activity on shared features (shared watchlists, shared tracking files, team activity feed) may be visible to other members of your organization.
We may disclose your information if required by law, court order, or governmental authority, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of Bear Pit Intelligence, our users, or others.
Bear Pit Intelligence is based in Canada, and our primary application servers and databases are hosted in Canada. However, some of our subprocessors process data outside Canada — most notably in the United States and, in limited cases, the European Union (see Section 6).
When your personal information is transferred outside Canada, it may be subject to the laws of the jurisdiction where it is processed, including laws that permit access by foreign government authorities. We require all subprocessors to maintain industry-standard security and privacy practices.
By using the Platform, you acknowledge and consent to your information being processed in these jurisdictions for the purposes described in this policy.
Your data is stored on secure servers hosted primarily in Canada. We implement industry-standard security measures including:
While we take reasonable measures to protect your information, no method of electronic transmission or storage is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security.
In the event of a breach of security safeguards involving your personal information that creates a real risk of significant harm, we will:
We retain your personal information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide you with the Platform's services. Upon account deletion or subscription cancellation:
As a Canadian resident, you have the right to:
To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the information provided in Section 14. We will respond to your request within 30 days.
The Platform uses essential cookies for authentication and session management. These cookies are necessary for the Platform to function and cannot be disabled. We do not use third-party advertising cookies or cross-site tracking technologies.
Email tracking: Our commercial emails (daily briefings, weekly briefings, alerts) contain a small invisible tracking pixel that allows us to know when an email was opened. We may also track when you click links within these emails. This information helps us monitor deliverability, measure engagement, and improve content. We do not currently use click-tracking redirects for security reasons. You can prevent open-tracking by disabling images in your email client.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of material changes via email or through the Platform at least 30 days before the changes take effect, where reasonably practical. Your continued use of the Platform after notification constitutes acceptance of the updated policy. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
