While we make reasonable efforts to keep the content of this website accurate and up to date, we make no warranties or representations as to its completeness or accuracy. Liability claims regarding damage caused by the use of any information provided, including any kind of information which is incomplete or incorrect, will therefore be rejected to the extent permitted by applicable law.
External Links
This website may contain links to third-party websites (e.g., LinkedIn). We have no influence on the content of those external sites and assume no liability for such content. The respective provider or operator of the linked pages is always responsible for their content.
Applicable Law
This Legal Notice is provided to comply with disclosure obligations that may apply to visitors in various jurisdictions, including the European Union. It does not constitute a waiver of any rights, nor does it establish jurisdiction or applicable law beyond what is otherwise determined by law. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, the laws of the State of Delaware, United States, govern matters relating to BBTC LLC as a corporate entity, without prejudice to mandatory consumer-protection or data-protection laws of the visitor's home jurisdiction.
Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy explains how BBTC LLC ("we", "us") collects, uses, and protects personal data when you visit this website.
What Data We Collect
No personal data is intentionally collected through this website beyond what is technically transmitted by your browser (see "Server Log Data" below).
International Data Transfer (Important — Please Note)
BBTC LLC is based in the United States. Data submitted through this website, including any data sent by visitors located in the European Union, the United Kingdom, or other jurisdictions outside the United States, will be transferred to and stored on servers located in the United States. By visiting this website, you acknowledge and consent to this transfer of your personal data to the United States.
The United States may not be recognized by the European Commission as providing a level of data protection equivalent to that of the EU/EEA, and you may have fewer enforceable rights with respect to your data than under the GDPR. We rely on your explicit consent (Art. 49(1)(a) GDPR) as the basis for this transfer where required, given that no contact form submission is mandatory to browse this website.
The specific hosting provider and/or third-party email-delivery service used to process contact form submissions had not yet been finalized at the time this policy was published. This Privacy Policy will be updated to name the specific provider(s), their location(s), and applicable safeguards (such as Standard Contractual Clauses, where relevant) once hosting arrangements are confirmed.
Server Log Data
Like most websites, our hosting infrastructure may automatically record technical information for every visit, such as IP address, browser type, referring page, date and time of access, and similar technical data. This information is used for security, troubleshooting, and ensuring the stable operation of the website, and is not combined with other data sources to identify you personally unless required for security investigations.
Third-Party Services (Fonts)
This website may use the Raleway font provided by Google Fonts. If fonts are loaded directly from Google's servers rather than hosted locally, your browser may establish a connection to Google LLC (USA), which can result in the transmission of your IP address to Google. We intend to host fonts locally to avoid this transfer; until that change is implemented, please be aware this may occur.
No Use of Cookies or Analytics (Current State)
At the time of publication, this website does not use cookies, analytics tools, or advertising trackers. Should this change in the future, this Privacy Policy will be updated accordingly and, where legally required, a consent mechanism will be implemented before such technologies are activated.
Changes to this Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time, particularly once hosting and data-processing arrangements are finalized. The current version is always available on this page.
