Legal & Policy


Ownership & Editorial Responsibility

AustinIO is owned and operated by SiliconPlans LLC, a Texas single-member limited liability company. Dan Sisson is its sole owner, publisher and editorial director, and makes all decisions about what is covered and how. No advertiser, sponsor, agency or other third party directs or reviews content. Sponsored content, if ever published, will be labeled as such at the top of the page.

By using this site you agree to the terms, privacy practices and disclosures below.

AI-Assisted Content

Content is produced with the help of AI language models, including Claude (Anthropic) and ChatGPT (OpenAI). These tools assist with research, drafting, calculation checks, structured data formatting and page production. Every page is directed, reviewed, edited and approved for publication by Dan Sisson.

AI assistance does not replace editorial judgment or factual verification. Errors are corrected on discovery, and readers who find one are encouraged to report it using the contact details below.
