1. Who We Are and What This Policy Covers
This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect your personal information, and the choices and rights you have. We do not sell your personal information.
Bulletproof Your Career and the Bulletproof Your Career Membership ("BYC Membership") are operated by Sage Executive Search, 452 Bellflower Ct., Roswell, GA 30076, United States ("the Company," "we," "us," or "our").

Register you for Zoom calls, events, masterclasses, and coaching sessions.
Deliver quiz results and personalize content, coaching, and recommendations based on your career stage, goals, and responses.

Use of AI tools
We use artificial intelligence tools, including Claude (Anthropic) and ChatGPT (OpenAI), to help with internal work such as drafting content, summarizing call transcripts, organizing frequently asked questions, analyzing quiz and survey responses, and preparing for coaching sessions. Information you provide, such as call transcripts, quiz responses, or membership responses, may be processed by these tools for those purposes. We do not allow your information to be used to train these AI models. We do not use AI tools to communicate with you on our behalf; messages and replies from us come from Pat and our team. We do not use AI tools to make automated decisions that have legal or similarly significant effects on you. A person on our team reviews AI-assisted work before it is used.
Service Providers we use
We share personal information with Service Providers only as needed to operate the Services, under contracts that limit their use of it.
Purpose
Email marketing and subscriber management
Customer relationship management, email, forms, and funnels
Payment processing
BYC Membership platform and member community
Internal project and operations management
Live calls, webinars, and recordings

AI-assisted content and analysis
Your information may also be visible to other members when you participate in community spaces, the member directory, live calls, or our private LinkedIn group. LinkedIn's use of information in that group is governed by LinkedIn's privacy policy.
Other disclosures
We may also disclose personal information:
When required by law, such as in response to a court order or valid government request.
To protect rights and safety, including ours, our members', and the public's.
In a business transfer, such as a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets. We will notify you before your information becomes subject to a different privacy policy.
With your consent, for any other purpose.
4. We Do Not Sell Your Information; Cookies and Analytics
We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share it for cross-context behavioral (targeted) advertising. We have not done so in the past 12 months. We do not knowingly sell or share the personal information of anyone under 16.
Cookies and similar technologies
We use cookies and similar technologies for the following purposes:
Type
Essential cookies
Functionality cookies
Analytics cookies
Email tracking pixels
Purpose
Keep you logged in, secure your account, and make the Services work.
Remember your preferences, such as login details.
Help us understand how visitors use our websites through Google Analytics.
Tell us whether an email was opened and which links were clicked.
You can set your browser to refuse cookies or alert you when cookies are sent. Some parts of the Services may not work without essential cookies. You can opt out of Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on. Where required by law, such as in the EU and UK, we ask for your consent before setting non-essential cookies.
Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control
We honor Global Privacy Control (GPC) signals as a request to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information where required by law. Because we do not sell or share personal information, no further change is needed. We do not respond to browser "Do Not Track" signals, as there is no common standard for them.
5. Retention, Security, and International Transfers
How long we keep your information
We keep personal information only as long as needed for the purposes in this policy. In general:
Membership and account information is kept while your membership is active and for a reasonable period afterward, so you can rejoin and so we can meet legal, tax, and accounting obligations.
Email subscriber information is kept until you unsubscribe or ask us to delete it.
Call recordings and transcripts are kept as part of the membership content library for as long as the library is offered.
Payment and transaction records are kept as required by tax and accounting law.
Usage Data is generally kept for a shorter period, unless needed for security or to improve the Services.
How we protect your information
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards, and we choose Service Providers that maintain recognized security standards. Stripe, for example, is certified to PCI-DSS standards for handling payment card data. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security. If a breach affects your personal information, we will notify you and the appropriate authorities as required by law.
International transfers
We are based in the United States, and our Service Providers may process information in the United States and other countries. If you are in Canada, the European Union, the United Kingdom, or elsewhere, your information will be transferred to and processed in the United States, where privacy laws may differ from those in your country. Where required, we rely on appropriate safeguards for these transfers, such as Standard Contractual Clauses or a Service Provider's certification under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework.
6. Your Privacy Rights
You have rights over your personal information, and the specific rights depend on where you live. Wherever you are, you can update your profile in the membership platform, unsubscribe from marketing emails using the link in any email, and contact us at [email protected] with any request.
How to make a request
Email [email protected] with your name, the email address you use with us, and what you are asking for. We will verify your identity before acting on a request, usually by confirming details we already have. You may use an authorized agent; we may ask for proof of their authority. We will respond within 45 days (30 days in Canada and the EU/UK), and we will tell you if we need more time as allowed by law. We will not discriminate against you, charge you more, or reduce the quality of the Services for exercising your rights.
