Privacy

This page explains what information the BISV Hacks website handles and why. Last updated October 13, 2026.

This site has no accounts, no ads, no analytics, and no tracking cookies. We do not sell or share information about visitors.

The questions page

When you ask a question on the questions page, the text of your question is sent to a Google Apps Script app that the team runs. The question and the time you asked it are saved in a Google Sheet that our organizers can read, so we can reuse good answers and follow up on questions we could not answer. To write an answer, the question is also sent to Anthropic's Claude API. We do not ask for your name or email there, so please do not type personal information into a question.

Services we use

The site is hosted on GitHub Pages, and fonts load from Google Fonts. Like most web services, they receive basic request information such as your IP address when a page loads. Registration will run on Devpost, community chat runs on Discord, and donations run through Hack Club Bank. Each of those services has its own privacy policy, which applies to what you share there.

Email and your choices

If you email us, we use your address and message only to reply and to run the event. To ask what we have about you, or to have a question you asked removed from our sheet, email bisvhackathon@gmail.com.
