Privacy notice

Updated October 27, 2026

This notice explains the information used for Burton Newcomb’s website and free weekly online class list. The class takes place through the meeting link Burton shares; the website’s class administration is supported by Meet4Biz.

What you provide and why

When you sign up, we collect your first and last name, email address, recurring-email choice, and a record of when and how you signed up. This lets Burton maintain the class list and send individual invitations and reminders for scheduled meetings. Signup does not require an attendee password or email-verification step. Please use an address you control.

We also keep meeting invitation records, your accept/decline response, unsubscribe status, and whether you clicked your personal Join link. A click helps avoid unnecessary reminders; it does not prove that you attended Google Meet. Processing records may include email queue status, provider acceptance and errors. Provider acceptance does not prove inbox delivery or that a message was read.

Where the information goes

Class records are processed through the Meet4Biz backend on Cloudflare infrastructure. Burton uses an authenticated dashboard to manage his class list. When he authorizes Gmail, Google processes individual emails sent from the connected account. We do not display your email address in a public attendee list or group recipient header. This website does not ask for access to attendees’ inboxes.

Cloudflare handles website requests and security-related technical information. The application uses a hash of the requesting IP address for abuse limits. The main website also loads fonts from Google’s servers. External social links and Google Meet open services with their own privacy practices. See Cloudflare’s privacy policy and Google’s privacy policy.

Your choices

The recurring-email checkbox is optional until you choose to join the email list, and is not preselected. Signing up requests class invitations and reminders, not unrelated promotional lists. To stop future class emails, open the manage-invitation link in an email and choose Unsubscribe. Accepting or declining one meeting is separate from leaving the weekly list.

For questions about your class-list information, corrections or deletion requests, reply to a class email from Burton. If you have not received one, use Burton’s contact/social links on the main website to reach him. Do not send passwords or private invitation links through public comments.

Retention and security

Unsubscribing stops future class-list sending; it does not automatically erase historical invitations or the unsubscribe record. Records remain available to operate the list and honor your choices until removed under the administrator’s retention settings or a handled request. This notice does not promise a fixed deletion period. Access controls and signed private invitation links protect the workflow, but no service can guarantee absolute security. Do not forward a personal invitation unless you intend to share its access.

Cookies and this notice

Read the cookie and browser-storage notice for owner-login cookies and the local setting that remembers dismissal of the short privacy note. Dismissing that note does not subscribe you or authorize emails.
