If you join a BBA mailing list or request updates, we may send educational, event, program, or promotional emails relevant to your relationship with BBA.

You may unsubscribe from marketing emails at any time using the unsubscribe link contained in those messages. Transactional, account, security, or course-related communications may still be sent when necessary to provide a service you requested.

4. Text Messages and Mobile Information

BBA will only send text messages when appropriate consent has been obtained. Consent to receive marketing text messages is not a condition of purchasing a product or participating in a BBA educational program unless specifically stated.

Mobile opt-in information and consent will not be sold or shared with third parties for their independent marketing or promotional purposes.

5. Service Providers and Technology Platforms

We may use third-party service providers to operate portions of our website, learning environment, communications, registrations, payments, analytics, automation, or other business functions.

These may include platforms such as HighLevel, Eventbrite, payment processors, email providers, website hosting services, analytics providers, and other technology vendors.

These providers may process information on our behalf according to their own privacy policies, contractual obligations, and applicable law.

6. Eventbrite and Third-Party Event Registration

Certain BBA events, including Coffee & Crypto sessions, may use Eventbrite or another external registration platform.

Information submitted directly through Eventbrite is also subject to Eventbrite's privacy practices and terms. BBA may receive event-registration information from Eventbrite in order to administer the event and communicate with participants.

7. Courses, Memberships, and Learning Platforms

BBA may use external technology platforms to deliver courses, assessments, certificates, communities, and learner accounts.

Information related to course participation may include enrollment status, course progress, quiz or assessment activity, submissions, credentials, certificates, and related learner records.

8. Payments

When paid products or services are offered, payment information may be processed by third-party payment processors. BBA may receive transaction details necessary to confirm payment and provide access, but we do not necessarily receive or store complete payment-card information.

9. Cookies and Similar Technologies

Our website and service providers may use cookies, pixels, analytics technologies, or similar tools to support website functionality, security, traffic measurement, user experience, and marketing attribution.

Your browser may allow you to block or delete cookies. Doing so may affect certain website functions.

10. How We Share Information

We may share information with service providers, contractors, technology vendors, professional advisors, or other parties when reasonably necessary to operate BBA, provide requested services, comply with law, protect rights and security, or complete a legitimate business transaction.

We do not sell personal information to advertisers for their independent marketing use.

11. External Websites and Services

Our website may contain links to third-party websites or services, including Eventbrite, social-media platforms, educational resources, and ecosystem partners such as CTCHX.io.

BBA is not responsible for the privacy practices, security, content, or policies of third-party websites. We encourage you to review their policies before providing information.

12. Data Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards appropriate to the nature of the information we maintain.

However, no website, communication system, database, blockchain network, or internet transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

13. Data Retention

We retain information for as long as reasonably necessary to provide services, maintain educational or business records, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, protect security, and support legitimate operational needs.

14. Your Choices and Privacy Rights

Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have rights regarding access, correction, deletion, restriction, objection, or portability of certain personal information.

You may also request to update your information or unsubscribe from marketing communications.

We may need to verify your identity before processing certain privacy requests.

15. Children

BBA's general website and digital-asset educational programs are not intentionally directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 without appropriate authorization.

Certain educational or community programs may have separate eligibility, parental-consent, or participation requirements.
