PRIVACY POLICY

CHANGES TO THIS POLICY

You may elect to have your personal information removed from our database by following the procedures set forth in the Cancellation and Correction Procedures section below.

THIRD PARTY ADVERTISING

Advertisements that may appear on the site may be delivered (or “served”) directly to users by third-party advertisers. If this happens, they automatically receive your IP address. Such third-party advertisers may also download cookies to your computer or use other technologies such as JavaScript and “web beacons” to measure the effectiveness of their ads and to personalize advertising content. Doing this allows the advertising network to recognize your computer each time they send you an advertisement. In this way, they may compile information about where individuals using your computer or browser saw their advertisements and determine which advertisements are clicked. We do not have access to or control of the cookies that may be placed by the third-party advertisers. This Privacy Policy covers the use of cookies by us and does not cover the use of cookies or other tracking technologies by any advertisers.

CHILDREN

In compliance with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), neither our advertisements nor our website are directed at or designed to attract children.

California Online Privacy Policy

Golden Direct Media has developed this Privacy Policy out of respect for the privacy of visitors to our website. This policy describes the personal information we collect, use, and disclose about individual consumers who visit or interact with this website and are California residents. This policy applies only to California residents who are natural persons; it does not apply to any entities (whether business, non-profit or governmental) or to any person who is not a California resident.

Whenever you visit our website, we will collect some information from you automatically simply by you visiting and navigating through this site, and  voluntary information when you submit information using any interactive form on the website. Through this website, we will collect information that can identify you and/or your activity.

Golden Direct Media collects the following categories of personal information about visitors of our Website. For each category of information, we identify examples of the category, the business purposes for which we use the information in that category, the categories of sources from which the information is collected, and the categories of third parties with whom we have shared the information in the last 12 months.

Do we sell any of your personal information?

Golden Direct Media does NOT and will not sell your personal information, including the data of any minors. We do not sell or otherwise trade the personal information that we collect from our site visitors at any point or under any circumstance.

Use of cookies and other tracking technologies

Cookies are small files that a website may transfer to a user’s computer that reside there for either the duration of the browsing session (session cookies) or on a permanent (until deleted) basis (persistent cookies) that may be used to identify a user, a user’s machine, or a user’s behavior. We make use of cookies under the following circumstances and for the following reasons:

• Compile data about site traffic to offer a better website experience
• Understand and save visitor preferences for future visits

Do Not Track (DNT) is a privacy preference that users can set if they do not want web services to collect information about their online activity. However, there is currently no universal standard for sending and receiving DNT signals. Due to this lack of universal standard, it would be impossible for us to promise that we comply with all known and unknown DNT standards.

Therefore, we do not respond to DNT signals or other mechanisms that provide a choice regarding the collection of personal information about activities over time and across different websites or online services. If a universal standard for DNT becomes available, we may revisit our DNT Policy.

Your Rights as a California Consumer

If you are a California resident, you have the following rights:

1. Right to Know. The right to request, up to 2 times in a 12-month period, that we identify to you (1) the categories of personal information we have collected, disclosed or sold about you in the last 12 months, (2) the categories of sources from which the personal information was collected, (3) the business purpose for which we use this information, and (4) the categories of third parties with whom we share or have shared your personal information in the last 12 months;
2. Right to Access. The right to request, up to 2 times in a 12-month period, that we provide you access to or disclose to you, free of charge, the specific pieces of personal information we have collected about you in the last 12 months;
3. Right to Delete. The right to request, up to 2 times in a 12-month period, that we delete personal information that we collected from you, subject to certain exceptions;
4. Right to Opt-Out. The right to opt-out of the sale of your personal information to third parties;
5. The right to designate an authorized agent to submit one of the above requests on your behalf; and
6. The right to not be discriminated against in receiving different or less favorable pricing, service, or financial incentive for exercising any of the above rights.

How to submit a request

You can submit any of the above 4 types of consumer requests, including your right to opt-out, by any of the 2 options below:

1. Submit an online request on our website at www.goldendirectmedia.com/contact
2. Call our toll-free number at (800) 358-4361

How we will verify that it is really you submitting the request

When you submit a Right to Know, Right to Access, or Right to Delete consumer request through one of the methods provided above, we will ask you to provide some information in order to verify your identity and respond to your request. Specifically, we will ask you to verify information that can be used to link your identity to particular records in our possession, which depends on the nature of your relationship and interaction with us. For example, if your sole interaction with us was as a website visitor, then in order to verify your identify, we will need to ask you to provide your name, email, phone number, IP address, device ID, browser ID, and/or cookie ID.

How to authorize an agent to act on your behalf

You can authorize someone else as an Authorized Agent who can submit a consumer request on your behalf. To do so, you must either (a) execute a valid, verifiable, and notarized Power of Attorney or (b) provide other written authorization that we can then verify. When we receive a consumer request submitted on your behalf by an Authorized Agent, that person will be asked to provide written proof that they have your permission to act on your behalf, and we will also contact you and ask you for information to verify your own identity directly with us and not through your Authorized Agent.

Responding to your Right to Know, Right to Access, and Right to Delete requests

We endeavor to respond to a verifiable consumer request within forty-five (45) days of receipt. If we require more time (up to 45 days or 90 days total from the date we receive your request), we will inform you of the reason and extension period in writing. We will deliver our written response by mail or electronically, at your option. Any disclosures we provide will only cover the 12-month period preceding our receipt of your verifiable consumer request. The response we provide will also explain the reasons we cannot comply with a request, if applicable. We do not charge a fee to process or respond to your verifiable consumer request unless it is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded. If we determine that the request warrants a fee, we will tell you why we made that decision and provide you with a cost estimate before completing your request.
