The Fine Print
Written in plain English, because a policy nobody can read protects nobody.
Last Updated: August 5, 2026
We do not run analytics. We do not run ad trackers. We have no login, no accounts, and no forms that collect your information. We do not sell or share anything, because we do not have anything to sell or share. If you email us, we have your email. That is about it.
The East Texas Bitcoin Community is a local meetup group. This website exists to tell people when we gather and to point newcomers toward material worth reading. It is run by community members, not a company. This policy covers easttexasbitcoincommunity.com and nothing else.
Nothing automatically. This site has no signup, no account system, and no contact form. Browsing it does not create a record tied to you.
Email, if you send one. Our address is listed on the contact page. If you write to us, we have your message and your address, the same as any email. We keep it so we can answer you and so we remember the conversation later. We do not add you to any list, because we do not have one.
We do not use Google Analytics, Facebook pixels, or any similar tracking service. Nothing on this site is trying to follow you around the internet.
If that ever changes, this section will say so plainly and the date at the top of this page will change with it.
This site does not set cookies of its own.
Some links here are affiliate links, mostly to Amazon. If you click one, that company may set a cookie in your browser so they can tell the sale came from us. That cookie belongs to them and is governed by their privacy policy, not ours. Not clicking the link means no cookie. There is more detail on our affiliate disclosure page.
A few things on this site load from elsewhere, which means your browser makes a request to those companies and they can see your IP address. Being straight about it:
We do not process, store, or ever see payment information. Store purchases go through Square. We see that an order happened and what was ordered. We do not see your card.
We do not currently run a mailing list. If we add one, it will be something you opt into on purpose, with a working unsubscribe link in every message, and this section will be updated to name the service handling it.
This site is meant for adults and we do not knowingly collect anything from children under 13. Young people are welcome at our meetups with a parent, but the website is not built to gather information from anyone.
Because we hold so little, there is not much to request. If you have emailed us and want that correspondence deleted, ask and we will delete it. If you are somewhere with laws granting you specific rights over your data, write to us and we will honor them. Nobody has to prove where they live to get a straight answer from us.
This site runs over HTTPS. Beyond that, the strongest security measure we have is that we do not collect much worth stealing. No system is perfectly secure, and we would rather say that than promise otherwise.
When this policy changes, the date at the top changes with it. Meaningful changes, particularly anything involving new tracking or data collection, will be described in plain language rather than buried.
Nothing on this website is financial, legal, or tax advice. We are a group of people who meet up and talk about Bitcoin. What you do with your money is yours to decide.
Write to us and a person will answer. Not a ticketing system.
