Bream Privacy Policy

Effective Date: February 2, 2026

Bream Health, Inc. ("Bream," "we," "our," or "us") respects your privacy and is committed to protecting it. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, share, and protect your information when you use the Bream website, mobile experience, and related services (collectively, the "Services").

Bream is designed to help women build meaningful connections through groups, events, and shared experiences. Trust, dignity, and emotional safety are central to how we operate.

By using Bream, you agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy.

1. Who Bream Is For

Bream is designed for women 55 and older who are looking to build meaningful connections through groups, events, and shared experiences.

You must be 18 years or older to use Bream. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18.

While Bream is built specifically with women 55+ in mind, we do not require age verification, and members self-select into the community.

2. Information We Collect

We collect only the information needed to operate Bream safely and effectively.

A. Information You Provide Directly

When you create a Bream account, you are required to provide:

• Full name
• Email address
• Birth year
• Location (such as city or zip code)
• Interests & preferences
• Username (automatically generated, and editable by you)

When you use Bream, you may choose to share the additional information, including:

• Messages or posts shared in groups, events, or forums
• Feedback, survey responses, or support requests

We collect full name and birth year to support age-appropriate experiences, community safety, and account integrity.

You are never required to create a public-facing profile with detailed personal information.

B. Information Collected Automatically

When you use Bream, we may collect limited technical information, such as:

• IP address
• Device type and browser
• Log data (pages visited, actions taken)
• Cookies or similar technologies (see Section 9)

This information helps us keep the platform secure and improve the experience.

C. Sensitive Information

Some community discussions may naturally involve sensitive topics (e.g., health, caregiving, life transitions).

• You choose what you share.
• We do not require disclosure of sensitive personal or medical information.
• Content shared in groups may be visible to other members in those groups.
• Content shared in forums may be visible to all members of Bream.

Please share thoughtfully and only what you are comfortable sharing.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use your information to:

• Create and manage your Bream account
• Match you with relevant groups or events
• Facilitate participation in discussions and activities
• Communicate with you about events, updates, or support
• Improve Bream's features, safety, and accessibility
• Respond to questions, concerns, or requests
• Comply with legal obligations

We do not sell personal information. We do not use member data to build advertising profiles or for targeted advertising.

4. Community Guidelines & Member Conduct

Use of the Services is governed by Bream's Community Guidelines, which outline expectations for respectful behavior, privacy, safety, and participation.

Information you share within Bream may be subject to moderation and enforcement actions, including content removal or account suspension, if the Community Guidelines are violated.

The Community Guidelines are incorporated by reference into this Privacy Policy and our Terms of Service.

5. How We Share Information

We share your information only in limited, intentional ways:

A. With Other Members

• Your username (or chosen display name), city and shared content may be visible to members of groups or events you join.
• We encourage username-only usage and minimal personal details.

B. With Service Providers

We may share information with trusted vendors who help us operate Bream (e.g., hosting, email delivery), under strict confidentiality agreements.

C. Partnerships & Sponsored Programs

Bream may collaborate with trusted partners - such as community organizations, healthcare-adjacent companies, or service providers - to offer events, programs, or resources aligned with our mission.

When we work with partners:

• We do not sell personal information
• Partners do not receive access to personal data unless required to deliver a specific experience you choose to participate in.
• Sponsored or co-created offerings will be clearly identified.
• Partners may not contact members directly for marketing purposes without explicit consent.

We may use aggregated or de-identified data (which does not identify you personally) to understand community needs, improve Bream, and evaluate programs or partnerships. Any personal information shared for partnership-related experiences is limited to what is reasonably necessary to deliver that experience.

D. Legal or Safety Reasons

We may disclose information if required by law or if we believe it is necessary to protect the safety, rights, or wellbeing of Bream, our members, or others.

E. What We Do Not Do

• We do not sell personal information.
• We do not share your data with third parties for advertising.
• We do not allow solicitation or marketing outreach to members without consent.

6. In-Person Events & Meetups

Bream may help members discover or organize in-person gatherings.

Important clarifications:

• Bream does not host, supervise, or control in-person events unless explicitly stated.
• Members attend in-person activities at their own discretion and risk.
• Bream is not responsible for the actions, conduct, or safety of individuals at in-person meetups.
• We encourage members to meet in public places, trust their instincts, and prioritize personal safety.

Participation in in-person events is optional. Bream does not perform background checks on members or event participants.

7. Your Choices & Controls

You have control over your information:

• You can update or correct your account details at any time.
• You may request deletion of your account and personal data by contacting us. We may retain certain information as required by law or for legitimate business purposes.
• You may opt out of non-essential emails on your user profile or by using unsubscribe links in emails.

Some information (such as group posts) may remain visible in anonymized or de-identified form to preserve community continuity.

8. Data Security

We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures to protect your information, including:

• Secure servers and encrypted connections
• Limited access to personal data

No system is 100% secure, but we work hard to safeguard your data.
