Privacy Policy

Last updated November 9, 2026. This policy explains what loadedtokens.com collects, why, and the choices you have. It covers the news site and the free email briefing.

Who we are

Loaded Tokens is published by Loaded Tokens LLC. The site is https://loadedtokens.com. Our mailing address is 21750 Hardy Oak Blvd Ste 104 #281815, San Antonio, TX 78258.

Privacy requests go to hello@loadedtokens.com. sponsors@loadedtokens.com is not a working inbox. Please do not use it for a privacy request.

Notice at collection

This is the notice at collection for California and for other states that require one. We collect the categories below for the purposes in Purposes and legal bases, and we keep them as described in Retention. We do not sell personal information or share it for targeted advertising. To use the rights in US state privacy rights, email hello@loadedtokens.com.

Data we collect and where it comes from

Newsletter signup

Reading the site does not require an account. When you sign up, we send your email address to Beehiiv, our newsletter provider, which stores it and emails you to confirm. The form asks for your email address and a checked consent box. If you opened a referral link, we include that referral code. Beehiiv holds the address as a pending free subscription until you confirm. We do not send a separate welcome email. Signing up again does not restart a subscription you previously ended. If the address is already subscribed, we leave it as it is.

If the consent box is missing, the address is not valid, or the signup looks automated, we do not send it to Beehiiv.

The signup itself does not turn email open or click tracking on or off. [TO CONFIRM: email open and click tracking]

Hosting and logs

Netlify hosts the site. To deliver a page, Netlify processes the connection, including your IP address, browser type, the page address, and the time. We do not keep our own analytics log or a database of IP addresses. [TO CONFIRM: request log retention]

Browser storage on the public site

There is no analytics cookie and no advertising cookie. On your device, the browser may remember:

• that you closed the signup bar or the exit prompt;
• a referral code from a link you opened, for that visit;
• that a signup in this browser succeeded, so the prompt stays hidden. That marker is not a copy of your email address.

That information stays on your device. A success message means Beehiiv accepted the address or it was already subscribed.

Subscription checker

The subscription checker compares plans you select with prices published on the site. The check runs in your browser. The email box on that page clears itself and does not send or store the address.

Email you send us

If you write to hello@loadedtokens.com about a correction, a tip, a sponsorship, or a privacy request, we receive what you put in that email. There is no comment form and no file upload.

Member sign-in, which is closed

Member sign-in is closed. We do not email a sign-in link, set a sign-in cookie, or send an address to Stripe or Resend.

When sign-in is open, you submit an email address. If Stripe shows an active Pro or Team subscription for that address, Resend sends a sign-in link that expires in 15 minutes. The message does not say whether the address was a member. Opening the link signs you in for 30 days with a cookie that holds your email address and plan. The cookie is sent only over a secure connection, pages on the site cannot read it, and it is limited to this site. Signing out clears it. Member pages stay closed until sign-in is open.

Browser storage on member pages

Those pages are not available while sign-in is closed. If one is open in your browser, it may store quiz progress, a certificate name, saved tools, a watchlist, notes, and checklist marks on that device only. We do not save quiz answers or team seats on our servers.

Payments, which are closed

Checkout is closed. We do not take a card number, and a card number is not sent to our server. When checkout opens, you pay on Stripe’s pages. We would know which plan you chose and could ask Stripe whether it is active. We would not store the card number.

Purposes and legal bases

If you are in the EEA, the UK, or Switzerland, we rely on:

• Consent. Sending the free briefing after you check the box and confirm the message from Beehiiv. A referral code is included only as part of that signup.
• Contract. Providing a paid membership you buy, once checkout is open. That includes the sign-in link, the sign-in cookie, and the subscription record at Stripe.
• Legitimate interests. Serving the pages, keeping the site reliable, blocking automated signups, and remembering a dismissed prompt on your device. You can object, as described under EEA and UK rights.
• Legal obligation. Keeping or producing information when tax, accounting, or a lawful request requires it. [TO CONFIRM: payment and tax records]

We do not use personal information to make an automated decision that has a legal or similarly serious effect on you. Editorial verdicts are about products, not about readers.

Cookies and similar technology

The public site does not set a cookie. The only cookie we set is the sign-in cookie, and only after you open a sign-in link. Sign-in is closed. That cookie is there to keep you signed in to the member area. It is not an advertising cookie.

The browser storage described above remembers a prompt, a referral code, or member-page progress on that device. It is not sent to an ad network. We do not show a cookie banner, because the public site does not set non-essential cookies.

You can clear this in your browser’s site settings. Clearing it does not remove you from the newsletter, because the list is kept by Beehiiv. Blocking storage can bring the signup prompt back, and a referral code in the page address may not be included with a later signup. Blocking cookies would keep the member session from sticking, once sign-in exists.

Service providers and processors

These companies process personal information for us:

• Beehiiv. Our newsletter provider. Beehiiv stores your email address, sends the confirmation message, and keeps referral counts.
• Netlify. Hosts the site and processes the traffic required to deliver it.
• Stripe. The payment company for checkout and membership, once those are open. Stripe does not receive a payment from this site today.
• Resend. Sends the member sign-in email, once sign-in is open. Resend does not receive a member address today, and it does not send the briefing.

Fonts are files we include with the site. The pages do not load Google Fonts, an analytics service, or an advertising pixel. We do not use another processor.

No sale, and no targeted-ad sharing

We do not sell personal information for money or other value. We do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising, which means targeted ads based on your activity across other sites. There is no ad pixel, no audience-matching list, and no sharing of subscriber addresses with an ad network. This is how the site works. You do not have to change a setting.

Email, consent, and unsubscribe

The consent sentence on the form is: “Email me the free briefing. Not Pro.” We do not add you without that box. You start receiving the briefing after you confirm the message from Beehiiv.

The briefing is advertising email. You can unsubscribe with the link in each message, or by emailing hello@loadedtokens.com. We will not charge you or make you create an account to stop the mail. Unsubscribing from the briefing does not, by itself, cancel a paid plan you later buy. Paid plans are not for sale.

CAN-SPAM requires a physical postal address in commercial email. Ours is 21750 Hardy Oak Blvd Ste 104 #281815, San Antonio, TX 78258.

Sponsors and advertisers

A sponsor can buy a labeled ad. Payment does not buy a verdict, a ranking, or coverage. We do not give sponsors your email address, your referral code, or a list of who subscribed. We do not yet have verified audience totals to share. If we later tell a sponsor how many emails were delivered or how many ad clicks were counted, those figures would be totals for that placement, not names or addresses. We do not share those reports today.

Retention

• Beehiiv keeps an accepted address while you are subscribed, including while the signup is waiting for you to confirm. [TO CONFIRM: address retention after unsubscribe]
• Browser storage stays until you clear it. Items kept for one visit end when you close the tab.
• The sign-in cookie, when sign-in exists, lasts 30 days or until you sign out. A sign-in link expires after 15 minutes.
• Email you send us. [TO CONFIRM: email retention]

Security

The site is served over HTTPS. A signup needs a valid email address and the consent box, and we drop signups that look automated. Sign-in and checkout are closed. We do not hold a security certification, and we cannot promise that a breach is impossible.

International transfers

Loaded Tokens LLC operates the site from the United States. Beehiiv and Netlify process information in the United States. Stripe and Resend would too, if sign-in or checkout is open. If you visit from the EEA, the UK, or another country, your information is processed in the US. [TO CONFIRM: international transfer terms]

We have not appointed a representative in the EEA or the UK. [TO CONFIRM: EU or UK representative]

Children

The site is a news briefing for adults choosing work tools. It is not directed to children under 16. We do not knowingly collect personal information from a child under 13. The signup form does not ask your age. If you believe a child under 13 gave us an email address, write to hello@loadedtokens.com and we will delete it from the newsletter list. COPPA applies to collection from children under 13. We do not ask children for information, and we do not offer a prize that requires a child to share more than we ask of everyone else.

US state privacy rights

Depending on where you live, state law may give you the right to know, access, correct, and delete personal information, to obtain a copy, and to appeal a denial. California’s CCPA/CPRA also gives you the right to know the categories we collect, the purposes, and the categories of recipients, and the right to opt out of sale or sharing. We do not sell or share personal information as those laws define it, and we do not offer a financial incentive tied to your data. Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, Texas, and other state privacy laws give residents similar access, correction, deletion, and appeal rights where those laws apply. Some of those laws apply only above a size or data threshold. If we are under a threshold, we will still answer the request.

We do not discriminate against you for exercising a privacy right. We will not deny the free briefing, charge a different price, or provide a different quality of the public site because you made a request. Deleting your address stops the briefing because we no longer have the address, not as a penalty.

Email hello@loadedtokens.com with the right you want to use and the email address you used. We will respond within the time the applicable law gives us. For a California request, that is 45 days, with one 45-day extension if we tell you why. We may ask you to confirm you control the address. We will not ask you to create an account.

An authorized agent may submit a request for you. The agent should write from an address we can reply to, name you, and include proof of authority, such as a signed permission or a power of attorney. We may still ask you to confirm the request directly.

If we deny a request, you can appeal by replying to that denial, or by emailing hello@loadedtokens.com with the word “appeal” in the subject. We will explain the result and, where the law requires it, how to contact your state attorney general.

EEA and UK rights

If the GDPR or the UK GDPR applies, you can ask to access, correct, delete, or restrict personal data, to receive a portable copy of data you provided, and to object to processing based on legitimate interests. Where we rely on consent, you can withdraw it. Withdrawing consent stops future briefing emails. It does not make an earlier send unlawful. You can also complain to your local supervisory authority or, in the UK, the Information Commissioner’s Office. Please write to us first at hello@loadedtokens.com so we can act on the request.

Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control

The site does not read the Do Not Track signal or the Global Privacy Control signal, and those signals do not change cookies, signup, or sharing here. We do not sell personal information, share it for targeted advertising, or set advertising cookies, so there is nothing of that kind for a signal to turn off. We do not claim that the site honors Global Privacy Control as an opt-out of sale or sharing.

Third-party links

Articles link to public sources, vendor pricing pages, and other sites. Those pages are not ours. Their privacy practices are not this policy. We do not embed third-party video players, social plugins, or ad frames. A YouTube link in a course list is a link, not an embedded player.

Changes

We will post changes on this page and change the “last updated” date. If we start selling personal information, sharing it for targeted advertising, or using a new company to send the briefing, we will update this page first. A change to this policy is not new consent to email. Email still requires the checkbox and Beehiiv’s confirmation message.
