Belgian Bitcoin Embassy is a community initiative focused on Bitcoin education and meetups in Belgium. We aim to process the minimum data needed to run this website safely and reliably.
If you log in with Nostr, we process your public key, role, and optional username. We also process content needed to operate the site, such as posts, submissions, media metadata, and moderation records. Some Nostr-related data may be cached on our servers to improve performance.
We process data to provide core site features, maintain account sessions, prevent abuse, moderate community interactions, and keep the service secure. Our legal bases are contract (or steps requested by you before using features) and legitimate interests (security, integrity, and service operation).
We currently do not use third-party analytics or advertising cookies. We do use browser local storage to keep your authentication session active. You can clear this data at any time by logging out or clearing browser storage.
When you interact through Nostr, your actions are published on the Nostr network, which is public by design. We may also use infrastructure providers to host and secure the website.
We keep account and operational data only as long as needed for service operation, security, and moderation. Technical logs may be retained for a limited period. You can remove local browser data at any time.
Depending on applicable law, you may have rights to access, rectify, erase, restrict, object to, or request portability of your personal data. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Belgian Data Protection Authority.
If technical providers process data outside the EEA, we aim to rely on appropriate safeguards as required under GDPR.
This website is not directed at children under the age of 16.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Material changes are reflected by updating the date at the top of this page.
