Bear Intelligence System End User Agreement

Reference copy. This page is published so you can read the Agreement before you join. The version you actually accept is presented inside your Bear Intelligence account at first sign-in, and that in-app version is the one that governs. If the two ever differ, the in-app version applies.

BEFORE YOU CONTINUE: KEY FACTS

PART ONE: AGREEMENT AND PARTIES

1. Parties and Binding Effect

1.1 This End User Agreement ("Agreement") is a binding legal contract between you ("User", "you", "your") and Bear in Studio Ltd, a private limited company registered in England and Wales (company number 14642085), registered office at 39 Goldhawk Road, London, England, W12 8QQ ("Bear in Studio Ltd", "we", "us", "our").

1.2 You accept this Agreement by proceeding past the first-run acceptance screen within BSIS. Your acceptance is logged with a timestamp. If you do not accept, you will not have access to BSIS.

1.3 This Agreement is separate from any other documents governing your Masculine Frame membership. Accepting this Agreement does not affect, modify, or supersede those documents; it supplements them specifically in relation to your use of BSIS.

1.4 If you are using BSIS on behalf of any organisation, you represent that you have authority to bind that organisation and these terms apply to you and the organisation jointly.

2. Eligibility and Authorised Access

2.1 You must be at least 18 years of age. By accepting this Agreement, you confirm that you are 18 or older. Bear in Studio Ltd may request verification and suspend access where this condition is not met.

2.2 Access to BSIS is granted exclusively to active Masculine Frame members. You confirm that you hold a current, valid Masculine Frame membership. If your membership lapses or is terminated, your right to access BSIS terminates automatically at the same moment.

2.3 Your access is personal and non-transferable. You must not share your BSIS account credentials, access links, or login details with any third party. You are fully responsible for all activity conducted under your account. If you become aware of any unauthorised access to your account, you must notify Bear in Studio Ltd immediately at hello@bearinstudio.com.

PART TWO: WHAT BSIS IS AND IS NOT

3. Description of BSIS

3.1 BSIS is a self-directed personal productivity, logging, and AI-assisted planning application. It is designed to help you organise your goals, decisions, daily activity logs, notes, and personal records in a single system. It includes AI-assisted features that generate responses, summaries, and suggestions based on information you input.

3.2 BSIS is a software tool. It is not a person. It does not monitor you, coach you, make decisions about you, or provide professional services of any kind. It generates automated responses based on the text you provide in each session.

4. What BSIS Is Not: Categorical Statement

BSIS is not, and must not be used or understood as, any of the following:

(a) a coaching service, personal training service, or fitness coaching programme; those services are provided separately under your Masculine Frame membership and are governed by your MF programme documents;
(b) a source of medical, clinical, or health advice of any kind;
(c) a source of fitness programming, training prescription, or exercise advice;
(d) a source of nutritional or dietary advice;
(e) a source of psychological, mental health, or therapeutic support;
(f) a source of legal, financial, or professional advice of any kind;
(g) a regulated health service or medical device;
(h) an emergency or crisis resource; in any emergency, contact the relevant emergency services immediately.

4.1 The AI features within BSIS do not change its nature. The presence of AI-generated text does not constitute coaching, advice, or professional service. All AI outputs are informational only. You must not rely on any AI output as a substitute for your own independent judgment or for the guidance of a qualified professional.

4.2 If you have any doubt about whether something generated by BSIS constitutes advice that you should act on without further verification, you should not act on it without consulting an appropriate qualified professional first.

PART THREE: AI CONTENT AND TECHNOLOGY

5. AI-Generated Content: Capabilities and Limitations

5.1 BSIS uses the following AI and technology systems to generate responses, summaries, audio output, and web search results:

• Google Gemini Flash (Google LLC): primary text conversation AI
• Google Gemini Pro (Google LLC): memory compilation and structured summaries
• Google Gemini text-to-speech (Google LLC): audio output where the audio feature is used
• Tavily (AlphaAI Technologies Inc.): web search query processing where the search feature is used

5.2 AI-generated content within BSIS ("AI Content") is produced automatically by these systems based solely on text you input in a given session. AI Content:

(a) may be factually incorrect, incomplete, outdated, or inconsistent;
(b) does not take account of your medical history, physical condition, mental health, financial position, or any personal circumstance not explicitly provided in your input;
(c) is not reviewed by Bear in Studio Ltd before being shown to you;
(d) is not tailored by a human professional;
(e) may, in some circumstances, suggest things that are harmful, inappropriate, or wrong for your specific situation.

5.3 You are solely responsible for critically evaluating all AI Content before acting on it. The burden of verification rests entirely with you.

5.4 Google LLC processes your inputs and generates AI responses under its Data Processing Addendum (incorporating the UK International Data Transfer Addendum), which provides appropriate safeguards for UK GDPR. Google does not use your data to train its AI models under the Paid Services arrangement used by BSIS.

5.5 Tavily processes web search queries under its Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. Bear in Studio Ltd has disabled the "Allow use of query data" setting in its Tavily account, meaning Tavily processes search queries solely for the purpose of returning search results and does not use query data for service improvement or training.

6. Web Search Feature

6.1 The in-app web search feature is powered by Tavily, operated by AlphaAI Technologies Inc. (United States). When you submit a web search query within BSIS, your query is transmitted to Tavily's servers for processing and retrieval of search results.

6.2 Important restriction; do not include personal health information in search queries. Tavily's terms of service prohibit the processing of special category personal data as defined under GDPR, which includes data relating to health, medical conditions, physical condition, and similar information. You must not include personal medical conditions, diagnoses, test results, or other personal health information in web search queries submitted through BSIS. General informational queries about health topics (for example, general questions about nutrition or exercise) do not fall within this restriction, provided they do not identify you personally or include your specific medical information.

6.3 Web search results are retrieved from the public internet and are not verified, curated, or endorsed by Bear in Studio Ltd or Tavily. Results may be inaccurate, outdated, or from unreliable sources. You are responsible for verifying information obtained through web search before acting on it.

6.4 Do not use the web search feature to search for emergency information, crisis resources, or time-critical medical guidance. Use official services directly.

PART FOUR: HOW YOUR DATA IS PROCESSED

7. Data Architecture and Flow

7.1 When you use BSIS, your data follows this path:

Stage 1, input and storage: You enter information into BSIS. Your conversations and inputs are received and stored in a database within BSIS, hosted on a server operated by Bear in Studio Ltd in the European Union (DigitalOcean, LLC, Amsterdam, Netherlands). This server constitutes the primary data storage location for your BSIS conversations.

Stage 2, AI processing (conversations): Your conversation inputs are transmitted from the DigitalOcean server to Google LLC's AI APIs (Gemini and Gemini text-to-speech) solely for the purpose of generating AI responses. Google processes your inputs to generate a response and returns that response to BSIS. Google retains prompt and response data for a limited period for safety and abuse detection only. It does not use your data for AI training.

Stage 3, web search processing (search feature only): When you submit a web search query using the in-app search feature, that query is transmitted directly to Tavily (AlphaAI Technologies Inc.) for the purpose of retrieving search results. Search queries processed by Tavily are not stored in the BSIS application database. Tavily returns search results to BSIS which are displayed to you. Bear in Studio Ltd has disabled query data usage in its Tavily account; Tavily processes queries solely for search retrieval.

Stage 4, return and display: AI responses and search results are returned to your BSIS session and displayed to you. In standard mode, your conversations remain accessible to the BSIS administrator (Bear in Studio Ltd) via the admin account. In Private Chat mode, the conversation is not accessible to the administrator. Web search queries and results are not stored in the administrator-accessible conversation database.

7.2 Bear in Studio Ltd does not sell, share, or disclose your data to any party other than Google LLC and Tavily as described above, subject to the exceptions set out in Section 13.5.

8. Administrator Access

8.1 Bear in Studio Ltd operates administrator permissions that make BSIS conversations conducted in standard mode technically accessible to authorised personnel. You acknowledge this by accepting this Agreement.

8.2 Administrator access is not routine. It is limited to situations where it is reasonably necessary to investigate or resolve a technical, security or service issue, to maintain the Application, to respond to a request you make, or to meet a legal obligation, and to what is necessary for that purpose. This access is technical and operational in nature.

8.3 Administrator access is NOT used to provide coaching, to assess your progress for coaching purposes, or to deliver any advisory service. Viewing conversation data for operational purposes does not constitute coaching and does not create a coaching, supervisory, or advisory relationship.

8.4 If you do not want your conversations to be accessible to the administrator, you must use Private Chat mode for every session. Failure to use Private Chat means you are using the Application in standard mode, in which conversations remain technically accessible as described in Sections 8.1 and 8.2.

9. Private Chat Mode

9.1 Private Chat mode is a feature within BSIS that prevents conversations from being stored in the application database in a form accessible to the administrator.

9.2 When using Private Chat mode:
(a) your conversation is NOT visible to the administrator via the admin account;
(b) your inputs ARE still transmitted to Google LLC's AI APIs for the purpose of generating AI responses (Stage 2 in Section 7.1 above applies in full);
(c) conversation content is not retained in the BSIS application database after the session ends.

9.3 Private Chat mode protects you from administrator visibility of your conversation content. It does not protect you from Google's processing of your inputs, which is necessary to operate the AI features. If you do not want your inputs to be processed by Google, you must not use the AI features of BSIS.

9.4 Bear in Studio Ltd makes no representation that Private Chat mode provides absolute technical privacy against all possible access scenarios. Security of any system cannot be guaranteed absolutely.

10. User Content

10.1 You retain ownership of all content, text, data, and information you input into BSIS ("User Content"). By inputting User Content, you grant Bear in Studio Ltd a limited, non-exclusive licence to store, process, and transmit your User Content solely to the extent necessary to operate BSIS and provide its functionality.

10.2 You are responsible for the accuracy of User Content you input. Bear in Studio Ltd accepts no responsibility for any harm arising from User Content that is inaccurate, incomplete, or misleading.

10.3 You must not input User Content that:
(a) relates to an active medical emergency or active mental health crisis. Contact emergency services immediately in such circumstances;
(b) belongs to an identifiable third party without their knowledge and consent;
(c) is unlawful, harmful, threatening, abusive, harassing, defamatory, or objectionable;
(d) you do not have the right to disclose.

PART FIVE: HEALTH, SAFETY, AND RISK

11. Health and Safety: Mandatory Disclaimer

This section is critical. Read it fully.

11.1 BSIS may be used to log and organise health-related information, fitness data, nutritional targets, training logs, and body composition data. The existence of these features does not make BSIS a health service, fitness service, or clinical tool.

11.2 No AI output generated by BSIS in response to health, fitness, nutrition, or body-related inputs constitutes:
(a) medical advice, clinical guidance, diagnosis, or treatment of any kind;
(b) fitness advice, training prescription, or exercise programming;
(c) dietetic or clinical nutritional advice;
(d) psychological advice, mental health guidance, or therapeutic support.

11.3 AI systems have no knowledge of your medical history, physical condition, medications, injuries, contraindications, or personal health circumstances unless you explicitly provide that information in a given session. Even where you do provide such information, the AI systems are not qualified to assess it in a clinical context.

11.4 Before making any decision relating to physical activity, exercise, nutrition, supplementation, fasting, or any other health-related area, whether or not informed by AI Content within BSIS, you must apply your own independent judgment and, where appropriate, seek the advice of a qualified professional. This includes your GP, a registered dietitian, a qualified exercise professional, a physiotherapist, a psychologist, or another relevant specialist.

11.5 By accepting this Agreement, you expressly acknowledge and accept:
(a) that you are solely responsible for all decisions you make in connection with your use of BSIS;
(b) that Bear in Studio Ltd accepts no liability for any harm, injury, illness, adverse health outcome, or loss arising from any decision or action you take based on or informed by your use of BSIS;
(c) that the risk of acting on AI-generated content without professional verification rests entirely with you.

12. Special Category Health Data

12.1 If you input information relating to your health, physical condition, body composition, fitness levels, nutrition, mental state, or related topics, this constitutes special category personal data under UK GDPR, which carries the highest level of legal protection.

12.2 Processing of your special category health data requires your explicit consent under Article 9(a) UK GDPR. This consent is obtained through a separate, dedicated consent screen presented within BSIS before you use any health-related features. General acceptance of this Agreement does not constitute this consent. The consent screen requires your active, unchecked confirmation.

12.3 You may withdraw this consent at any time by contacting hello@bearinstudio.com. Withdrawal of consent may disable certain features of BSIS. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.

12.4 Your special category health data is processed for the following purposes only:
(a) enabling AI-assisted responses within BSIS (processed by Google LLC as described in Section 7);
(b) storage in the BSIS database on the DigitalOcean EU server (Section 7.1, Stage 1);
(c) access by authorised personnel where reasonably necessary to investigate or resolve a technical, security or service issue (Section 8).

12.5 Your special category health data is not used for automated decision-making that produces legal or similarly significant effects on you.

12.6 You must not include special category personal data, including personal medical conditions, diagnoses, or health information, in web search queries submitted through the in-app search feature. The web search feature is processed by Tavily, whose terms of service prohibit the processing of special category data. See Section 6.2.

PART SIX: DATA PROTECTION AND PRIVACY

13. UK GDPR Compliance

13.1 Bear in Studio Ltd processes your personal data in accordance with the UK General Data Protection Regulation ("UK GDPR"), the Data Protection Act 2018, and applicable provisions of the Data (Use and Access) Act 2025. Registration with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) as a data controller is being completed. The registration number will be published in the Bear in Studio Privacy Policy once it is issued.

13.2 Full details of Bear in Studio Ltd's data processing practices, including lawful bases for each category of processing, data retention periods, your rights, and how to exercise them, are set out in the Bear in Studio Privacy Policy.

13.3 Lawful Bases for Processing

13.4 Data Processors

Bear in Studio Ltd uses the following data processors in connection with BSIS:

Google LLC (United States) Processes all AI conversation inputs and generates AI outputs via Gemini Flash and Gemini Pro APIs. Converts text to audio via the Gemini text-to-speech API. Google's processing is governed by the Google Cloud Data Processing Addendum, which incorporates the UK International Data Transfer Addendum (UK Addendum to the EU Standard Contractual Clauses). Google does not use BSIS data to train its AI models. Data is processed under Paid Services terms.

DigitalOcean, LLC (United States, server located in Amsterdam, Netherlands, European Union) Hosts the BSIS application server and database where conversation data is stored. The server is physically located within the European Union (Netherlands), which holds UK adequacy status, meaning the storage and processing of data within the EU does not in itself require additional transfer safeguards. DigitalOcean, LLC is a company incorporated in the United States; to address any potential access to data from its US operations, Bear in Studio Ltd relies on the Standard Contractual Clauses incorporated into DigitalOcean's Data Processing Agreement, together with the UK International Data Transfer Addendum, which constitute appropriate safeguards for UK GDPR Chapter V restricted transfers. DigitalOcean does not process or access your data beyond technical server hosting.

AlphaAI Technologies Inc., trading as Tavily (United States) Processes web search queries submitted through the in-app search feature solely for the purpose of retrieving and returning search results. Tavily acknowledges the UK Data Protection Act 2018 and processes UK personal data under Standard Contractual Clauses and the UK International Data Transfer Addendum, which constitute appropriate safeguards for UK GDPR Chapter V restricted transfers. Bear in Studio Ltd has disabled the "Allow use of query data" setting in its Tavily account, contractually preventing Tavily from using search queries for service improvement or model training purposes. Tavily's terms of service prohibit the processing of special category personal data; you must not include personal health or medical information in search queries (see Sections 6.2 and 12.6).

No other third parties process your personal data through BSIS. Bear in Studio Ltd does not sell data to any party.

13.5 Disclosure to Authorities

Bear in Studio Ltd will not disclose your personal data to any law enforcement agency or government authority unless required to do so by applicable law or a valid court order. Where legally permitted, Bear in Studio Ltd will notify you of any such request.

13.6 Your UK GDPR Rights

You have the following rights in relation to your personal data:

(a) Access: request a copy of your personal data held by Bear in Studio Ltd;
(b) Rectification: request correction of inaccurate data;
(c) Erasure: request deletion of your data in appropriate circumstances;
(d) Restriction: request that processing be limited in certain circumstances;
(e) Portability: receive your data in a structured, machine-readable format;
(f) Objection: object to processing based on legitimate interests;
(g) Withdraw consent: withdraw any previously given consent at any time.

To exercise any right, email hello@bearinstudio.com. Bear in Studio Ltd will respond within one calendar month.

13.7 ICO Complaints

If you consider that your data protection rights have been infringed, you have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner's Office at www.ico.org.uk or by calling 0303 123 1113. You also have the right to seek a judicial remedy.

13.8 Data Retention

Conversation data is retained for as long as your Masculine Frame membership is active. Following termination of membership, data is retained for 6 months for legal compliance and dispute resolution purposes, after which it is deleted. You may request earlier deletion of your data at any time under Section 13.6(c), subject to applicable retention obligations.

PART SEVEN: INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

14. Ownership

14.1 BSIS, including its software, source code, architecture, AI system configuration, interface design, prompts, templates, workflows, and all other components, is the exclusive intellectual property of Bear in Studio Ltd or its licensors.

14.2 The Bear in Studio name, logo, and all associated brand identifiers are the intellectual property of Bear in Studio Ltd.

15. AI-Generated Outputs

15.1 AI outputs generated within BSIS are produced by automated systems. Bear in Studio Ltd makes no representation regarding the intellectual property status of AI-generated content under applicable law. You may use AI outputs generated in your personal BSIS sessions for your own personal, non-commercial purposes only.

15.2 You must not represent AI outputs generated within BSIS as your own original work in any context where such representation would be misleading or in breach of any applicable obligation.

PART EIGHT: ACCEPTABLE USE

PART NINE: LIABILITY AND INDEMNIFICATION
