Our Approach to Privacy
CannabisTennessee.org is an educational site about cannabis policy in Tennessee. We believe Tennessee residents researching cannabis policy deserve robust privacy protections — arguably more, given the prohibition-hemp paradox; the January 1, 2026 TABC transition; AG Skrmetti enforcement; and federal-installation density at Fort Campbell, NSA Mid-South, Holston Army Ammunition Plant, Arnold AFB, and ORNL Oak Ridge.
What We Collect
Cookies (One)
We set a single cookie (cannabistennessee_age_verified) when you confirm you are 21 or older. Lasts 30 days. We also set a cookie consent acknowledgment cookie (cannabistennessee_cookie_consent) when you dismiss the cookie notice.
Server Logs
Standard server-log entries (IP, page, browser, timestamp) for security monitoring. Not shared with third parties.
What We Don’t Do
- No Google Analytics or third-party analytics.
- No tracking pixels or retargeting.
- No data sales.
- No personal-information collection.
- No advertisements.
- No social-media tracking widgets.
Federal-Employee & Cross-Border Privacy Note
- Federal-employer exposure. TN residents working at Fort Campbell (101st Airborne), NSA Mid-South, Holston Army Ammunition Plant, Arnold AFB, ORNL Oak Ridge, FBI Memphis, or federal contractors face career-risk decisions where cannabis-related browsing history can theoretically surface in clearance contexts.
- Hemp-prohibition paradox exposure. Tennessee retails $245.4M annually in hemp-derived cannabinoid products while marijuana prohibition continues; this complex framework means cross-border purchasers and TN-resident hemp consumers should track regulatory shifts (Public Chapter 526 January 1, 2026; federal hemp cliff November 12, 2026).
Third-Party Services
- Bootstrap CSS/JS from cdn.jsdelivr.net.
- Bootstrap Icons from cdn.jsdelivr.net.

Data Retention
No user database. Server logs retained for limited security purposes then deleted. Age-verification cookie expires after 30 days. Cookie consent cookie expires after one year.
Children’s Privacy
Intended exclusively for adults aged 21+. Age-verification gate prevents access by minors.
Tennessee Privacy Law
Tennessee enacted the Tennessee Information Protection Act (TIPA) effective July 1, 2025 (Tenn. Code Ann. § 47-18-3201 et seq.). TIPA provides consumer rights (access, correction, deletion, portability, opt-out) for Tennessee residents in the data-collection of "controllers" doing business in TN. Because we do not collect, store, or process personal information beyond basic server logs, the Act does not impose specific affirmative obligations on us.
Changes to This Policy
If we ever change our privacy practices, we will update this page with a new "last verified" date. We have no plans to add tracking or analytics.
