Privacy Notice

Who operates this site

Shannon Bruce Advisory Services is an independent consulting business based in Seattle, Washington. Privacy questions or requests may be sent to hello@shannonbruceconsulting.com.

Information you choose to provide

• Contact details and inquiry information. The contact form prepares an email draft on your device. The site does not submit or store those fields itself. Your chosen email provider processes the message when you open or send it.
• AI chat messages. Messages you type into the discovery assistant are sent to OpenAI to generate a response. The site does not create a saved chat history or customer profile from those messages.
• Communications after contact. If you email, schedule, or work with Shannon, the information you provide may be retained as reasonably necessary to respond, provide services, maintain business records, and meet legal obligations.

How information is used

Information is used to respond to inquiries, understand potential consulting needs, operate and secure the website, schedule conversations, provide requested services, prevent misuse, and comply with applicable law. The site does not sell personal information or use visitor messages for targeted advertising.

AI assistant and OpenAI

The assistant is AI, not Shannon. Chat messages are processed through the OpenAI API with application storage disabled. OpenAI states that API data is not used to train its models by default. OpenAI may retain prompts, responses, and related metadata in abuse-monitoring logs for up to 30 days unless a different retention control applies. Do not submit passwords, financial account information, health information, trade secrets, or other sensitive or regulated data.

Service providers and external links

The site relies on service providers for hosting and AI processing. If you choose an external link, such as Gmail, Outlook, Calendly, or a research source, that provider’s privacy terms govern your interaction with its service. Information may also be disclosed when required by law, to protect rights or safety, or as part of a business transfer.

Cookies and analytics

This site does not currently use advertising pixels or optional analytics cookies. Essential network, security, or hosting technologies may operate when pages are requested. See the Cookie Notice for details. If analytics or advertising tools are added, this notice and any required consent controls will be updated first.

Your choices

You may choose not to use the AI assistant and contact Shannon directly instead. You may also request access to, correction of, or deletion of information Shannon maintains about you, subject to applicable law and legitimate recordkeeping needs, by emailing the address above.

Security, retention, and children

Reasonable measures are used to protect information, but no internet transmission is completely secure. Business communications are kept only as long as reasonably needed for the purposes described above. This site is intended for business users and is not directed to children under 13.

Changes

This notice may change when site features, vendors, or legal requirements change. The effective date at the top identifies the current version.
