At Magus Bear, privacy is treated as part of hospitality.
If you contact me, join the mailing list, book a session, or spend time reading the site, I want you to know what information may be collected, how it may be used, and how carefully it is handled. The guiding principle is simple: I do not sell, rent, trade, or casually share your personal information. Your trust matters.
This website is Magus Bear.
The website address is:
https://magusbear.com
This website was written, designed, and is maintained by:
Michael Edwin Barwick
I offer astrology consultations, personal and professional reflections, teaching, and related services.
You may choose to share personal information when you:
- Contact me through a form or email
- Subscribe to the mailing list
- Book or inquire about a consultation
- Send birth data or other information relevant to an astrology session
- Respond to questionnaires or intake forms
- Comment on, reply to, or otherwise interact with site content, if those features are enabled
This information may include your name, email address, birth date, birth time, birth place, questions, life circumstances, or other details you choose to provide.
I use this information only for the purpose for which it was offered: to respond to you, provide services, prepare for consultations, send requested communications, or maintain appropriate records.
Astrology consultations sometimes involve personal material: birth data, biographical details, relationship questions, vocational concerns, timing questions, and other matters of life and meaning.
This information is treated respectfully and confidentially. It is not shared publicly, sold, or used for marketing without your permission.
If anonymized examples are ever used for teaching, writing, or illustration, identifying details will be removed or altered unless explicit permission has been given.
The Magus Bear mailing list is private.
If you subscribe, your name and email address are used only to send the communications you requested, such as reflections, updates, announcements, writing, videos, service news, or occasional offerings from me.
I send mailing-list communications only to people who have subscribed or otherwise consented to receive them.
Your mailing list information is not sold, rented, traded, or shared with other individuals, businesses, advertisers, or outside mailing lists.
You may unsubscribe at any time using the unsubscribe link included in mailing list emails, or by contacting me directly.
If you visit the login page, the site may set a temporary cookie to determine whether your browser accepts cookies.
This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.
Other cookies may be used by the website platform, security tools, analytics tools, embedded media, or third-party services, depending on how the site is configured.
Articles and pages on this site may include embedded content, such as videos, images, posts, articles, audio, or other media.
Embedded content from other websites behaves in the same way as if you had visited the other website directly.
These external websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with their embedded content. This may include tracking your interaction if you have an account with that service and are logged in to it.
Examples may include services such as YouTube, social media platforms, podcast players, newsletter platforms, payment processors, booking tools, or other embedded services.
Personal information may be used to:
- Respond to your inquiries
- Schedule or provide consultations
- Prepare for astrology sessions
- Send requested mailing list communications
- Maintain basic business records
- Improve the website and services
- Protect the website from spam, abuse, or security threats
- Comply with legal, tax, accounting, or administrative obligations
I do not use your personal information for purposes unrelated to my services, communications, or ordinary site operations without your knowledge or consent, unless required by law.
I may use trusted third-party services to operate the website, manage email subscriptions, process bookings or payments, host embedded content, prevent spam, or understand general website performance.
These services may process limited information as necessary to provide their function. Where possible, I aim to use reputable services that handle personal information responsibly.
Some service providers may store or process information outside Canada. Where that occurs, information may be subject to the laws of the jurisdiction in which it is processed.
Personal information is kept only as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, including providing services, maintaining records, responding to inquiries, or meeting legal and administrative obligations.
You may contact me to ask whether I hold personal information about you, to request a correction, or to request deletion where appropriate.
I take reasonable care to protect the personal information entrusted to me.
No website, email system, or online service can guarantee perfect security. Still, I aim to handle personal information with care, restraint, and respect.
You may:
- Choose not to provide personal information
- Unsubscribe from the mailing list at any time
- Contact me to update or correct your information
- Ask questions about how your information is used
- Request deletion of personal information, where appropriate and legally possible
