Brenteson Fire LLC

Privacy Policy

Effective Date: July 5, 2026 • Last Updated: July 5, 2026

Brenteson Fire LLC (“Brenteson Fire,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) operates this website and provides wildland fire suppression contracting services. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, how we handle text message (SMS) and email communications, and the choices you have. By using our website, submitting an application, or communicating with us, you agree to the practices described here.

We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share it with third parties for their own marketing purposes.

Information We Collect

We collect only the information we need to communicate with you, evaluate and manage employment, and operate our business. Depending on how you interact with us, this may include:

Contact information — name, mobile phone number, email address, and mailing address.
Employment and application information — information you provide when applying for or working with us, such as work history, qualifications and certifications, emergency contact, and identity/eligibility documentation required by law (for example, for hiring and payroll).
Communications — the content of text messages, emails, and other messages you exchange with us.
Website and technical data — basic information collected automatically when you visit our site, such as IP address, browser type, device information, and pages viewed, including through cookies and similar technologies used by our website hosting provider.

How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

Respond to inquiries and communicate with you.
Review, process, and manage employment applications and crew onboarding.
Send operational and account-related notifications, including dispatch, scheduling, and compliance updates.
Send text messages and emails that you have consented to receive or that relate to your employment or account.
Operate, maintain, secure, and improve our website and services.
Comply with legal, regulatory, tax, and contractual obligations.

Text Messaging (SMS)

Brenteson Fire LLC uses SMS text messaging to communicate with crew members, job applicants, and personnel who have provided their mobile number and agreed to receive text messages. Our text messages are operational and account-related — this is not a marketing program.

Types of messages

Messages may include dispatch and scheduling notifications, shift and work/rest status updates, hiring and onboarding steps, document and certification reminders, and other job- or account-related communications.

How you consent

You provide consent to receive SMS messages from Brenteson Fire LLC when you submit your mobile phone number through our employment application, onboarding forms, or crew management portal, or when you otherwise provide your number to us and agree to receive text messages. Where required by law, consent to receive text messages is not a condition of employment or of receiving our services.

Frequency, rates, and opt-out

Message frequency varies based on operational activity and your role.
Message and data rates may apply. These are charged by your mobile carrier and are your responsibility.
To opt out, reply STOP to any text message at any time. We will send a one-time confirmation, and you will no longer receive SMS messages from us. You may still receive operational communications by other means, such as email or phone.
For help, reply HELP, or contact us at brentesonfire@gmail.com or 406-450-3684.
Mobile carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages.

No mobile information will be shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes. Mobile opt-in information and consent will not be shared with any third parties.

We share mobile information only with the service providers that help us operate our text messaging program (such as our SMS platform provider), and only as needed to deliver the messages you have requested or consented to receive.

Email

We use email to communicate with applicants, crew members, and contacts. Emails may relate to inquiries, hiring and onboarding, scheduling, document delivery, reminders, and account or operational notifications. If we ever send a non-essential email, you may unsubscribe using the link provided in that email or by contacting us directly. Transactional and operational emails related to your employment or account may continue to be sent as needed. We do not sell or rent your email address, and we do not share it with third parties for their own marketing.

How We Share Information

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We share information only in the limited circumstances described below:

Service providers. We use trusted third-party providers to operate our business — for example, our text messaging platform, email delivery, website hosting, and payroll/timekeeping. These providers may access your information only to perform services on our behalf and are obligated to protect it.
Legal and safety. We may disclose information when required by law or legal process, or when necessary to protect the rights, property, or safety of Brenteson Fire LLC, our personnel, or others.
Business transfers. If our business is involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, information may be transferred as part of that transaction, subject to this Policy.

In all cases, mobile opt-in data and consent are excluded from sharing and are never sold or shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing purposes.

Data Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect your personal information against unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Data Retention

We retain personal information for as long as needed to fulfill the purposes described in this Policy, to maintain business and employment records, and to comply with our legal, tax, and regulatory obligations. When information is no longer needed, we take steps to securely delete or de-identify it.

Your Choices

Opt out of text messages at any time by replying STOP.
Unsubscribe from non-essential emails using the link provided or by contacting us.
Request to access, update, or delete the personal information we hold about you, subject to applicable law and our recordkeeping obligations.

To make a request, contact us using the details below.

Children’s Privacy

Our website and services are intended for adults and are not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us information, please contact us and we will take appropriate steps to remove it.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the “Last Updated” date above. Material changes will be posted on this page. Your continued use of our website or services after an update constitutes acceptance of the revised Policy.
