Information BCI collects

Newsletter signups

Newsletter forms collect your email address plus basic signup context, such as the page where you joined and campaign or referral information when it is available.

Contact and mailbag submissions

Contact and Collector Mailbag forms collect the name, email address, message, selected topic, and basic source-page context that you choose to submit.

Site analytics

BCI uses Google Analytics and may use a privacy-focused analytics service to understand traffic sources, device categories, page use, and site interactions. Analytics providers may use cookies or similar identifiers under their own policies.

Section

How information is used

Email addresses submitted to the BCI Dispatch are used to manage the subscriber list and send newsletter messages. Beehiiv is the primary newsletter service; a secured Google Sheet may be used as a backup capture destination.
Contact and mailbag details are used to review the submission, respond when appropriate, and route the message. Those submissions are delivered to a private Google Sheet used by BCI.
Aggregated analytics are used to improve navigation, content priorities, performance, and the usefulness of collector tools. BCI does not sell personal information.

Section

Retention, choices, and requests

Information is kept only as long as it is reasonably needed for the purpose it was submitted, site operations, or applicable recordkeeping obligations.
Newsletter readers can unsubscribe through the link included in each newsletter message.
You can use the contact page to ask what information you submitted directly to BCI, request a correction, or request deletion where applicable.
