While Stern Bridge LLC is not a HIPAA-covered entity and does not provide medical services, we recognize that veterans may voluntarily share sensitive medical and military records. We are committed to protecting the privacy and security of your information and implement robust technical, administrative, and physical safeguards. We apply safeguards consistent with industry best practices and similar levels of precaution used in regulated environments.

Processing of Sensitive Health Data

While we are not a HIPAA-covered entity, we acknowledge that you may voluntarily upload or share military, medical, or disability claim documentation. By voluntarily providing this sensitive health-related information, you explicitly consent to our collection, storage, and processing of such data strictly for the purpose of evaluating and providing our coaching and educational services. You may revoke this consent at any time by contacting us, subject to operational retention necessary to enforce our legal rights.

Third-Party Processors

To provide our services, we engage with trusted third-party software service providers who process information on our behalf. These services include, but are not limited to, Google Workspace (for secure document storage, collaboration, and email, which includes Google Drive and utilizes industry-standard security and, where applicable, Business Associate Agreements for Protected Health Information), and Go High Level (for customer relationship management, communication, and marketing automation). We only share information with these providers as necessary for them to perform their designated functions and require them to protect your data with comparable security standards.

Security Measures

These safeguards include: encryption of data in transit and at rest, secure cloud-based storage providers, role-based access controls, limited access to client information on a need-to-know basis, multi-factor authentication for administrative systems, secure document storage and transfer protocols, and periodic review of access permissions. All client-facing team members undergo background vetting and are bound by confidentiality obligations. Although no transmission over the internet can be guaranteed to be 100 percent secure, we take commercially reasonable and appropriate measures to protect client information.

Data Retention and Deletion

We retain your personal and medical information only for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purpose for which it was collected, enforce our contractual agreements, prevent fraud, or satisfy legal and accounting retention requirements. In determining appropriate retention periods, we consider the volume, nature, and sensitivity of the data, as well as operational business needs.
