HOW WE DISCLOSE INFORMATION

We may disclose personal information to the following categories of recipients:

These providers may access information as reasonably necessary to perform services for us. Their handling of information may also be governed by their own privacy policies and contractual obligations.

Professional Collaborators

When reasonably necessary to provide requested services, we may disclose relevant information or project materials to trusted collaborators, such as web designers or developers, copywriters, photographers, printers, illustrators, production vendors, or other independent contractors.

We will disclose only the information reasonably necessary for the collaborator to perform the applicable service.

Business and Legal Disclosures

We may disclose information when we reasonably believe disclosure is necessary to:

• Comply with a law, regulation, subpoena, court order, or legal process;

• Respond to a lawful request from a government or law-enforcement authority;

• Investigate or prevent suspected fraud, misuse, security threats, or unlawful activity;

• Protect the rights, property, safety, or interests of GOLDENMADE Studio, our clients, Website visitors, or others;

• Enforce an agreement or policy; or

• Establish, exercise, or defend a legal claim.

Business Transfers

If GOLDENMADE Studio or its assets are involved in a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, sale, transfer, bankruptcy, or similar business transaction, personal information may be disclosed or transferred as part of that transaction, subject to applicable law.

With Your Direction or Permission

We may disclose information when you direct us to do so, give us permission, or intentionally make information available for publication or disclosure.

For example, information contained in an approved testimonial, project feature, portfolio entry, or social-media collaboration may be made publicly available with your permission or as otherwise authorized by our agreement with you.

We do not sell personal information for monetary compensation. However, certain analytics or advertising activities may be treated as a “sale,” “sharing,” or targeted advertising under some state privacy laws even when no money is exchanged. Where applicable, you may have the right to opt out of those activities.

EMAIL AND MARKETING COMMUNICATIONS

We may use your contact information to send communications relating to an inquiry, consultation, transaction, project, or existing business relationship.

If you subscribe to promotional emails or otherwise agree to receive marketing communications, we may send you information about services, availability, launches, promotions, or studio updates.

You may unsubscribe from promotional emails by using the unsubscribe link included in the message or by contacting us. Unsubscribing from marketing messages will not prevent us from sending necessary administrative, transactional, contractual, or project-related communications.

DATA RETENTION

We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to:

• Respond to inquiries;

• Provide services;

• Maintain our client and business relationships;

• Complete the purposes described in this Privacy Policy;

• Maintain appropriate business, tax, accounting, and transaction records;

• Comply with legal or contractual obligations;

• Resolve disputes; and

• Protect or enforce our legal rights.

Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information, the nature of our relationship with you, our legal obligations, and our legitimate business needs.

When information is no longer reasonably necessary, we may delete, destroy, anonymize, or securely archive it, subject to applicable law and technical limitations. Copies may remain in backups or archival systems until those systems are overwritten or retired.

DATA SECURITY

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to protect personal information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure.

However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage system is completely secure. Therefore, we cannot guarantee the absolute security of personal information.

You are responsible for using appropriate caution when transmitting information online and for protecting any passwords or account credentials associated with third-party client platforms.

YOUR PRIVACY RIGHTS AND CHOICES

Depending on where you live and subject to applicable law, you may have the right to:

• Confirm whether we process personal information about you;

• Request access to certain personal information we maintain about you;

• Request correction of inaccurate personal information;

• Request deletion of certain personal information;

• Request a portable copy of certain information you provided;

• Opt out of certain targeted advertising, sales, sharing, or profiling activities;

• Withdraw consent when our processing is based on your consent; and

• Appeal the denial of an eligible privacy request.

These rights are not absolute. Certain information may be exempt from a request or may need to be retained to complete a transaction, comply with legal obligations, maintain business records, protect legal rights, prevent fraud, or fulfill another lawful purpose.

To submit a privacy request, contact us using the information listed in the “Contact Us” section below. Please include sufficient information for us to understand and respond to the request.

We may need to verify your identity before completing a request. If an authorized agent submits a request for you, we may request proof of the agent’s authority and verification of your identity.

We will not unlawfully discriminate against you for exercising an applicable privacy right.

If we deny a request and applicable law provides an appeal right, you may appeal by responding to our decision or contacting us using the information below and stating that you wish to appeal.

Indiana residents may also submit an eligible complaint to the Indiana Attorney General if they believe their rights under the Indiana Consumer Data Protection Act have been violated.

DO NOT TRACK AND PREFERENCE SIGNALS

Some browsers offer a “Do Not Track” setting. Because there is not currently a universally accepted standard for responding to Do Not Track signals, the Website may not respond to those signals.

Where required by applicable law and supported by our Website technology, we may recognize legally valid browser-based opt-out preference signals, such as the Global Privacy Control.

THIRD-PARTY WEBSITES AND SERVICES

The Website may contain links to third-party websites, platforms, or services that we do not own or operate.

We are not responsible for the content, availability, security, or privacy practices of those third parties. This Privacy Policy does not apply to information collected by a third party after you leave our Website or interact directly with its services.

We encourage you to review the privacy policies and terms of any third-party website or service before providing personal information.

SOCIAL MEDIA

If you interact with us through a social-media platform, the platform may collect and process information about you according to its own privacy policy.

Information you post publicly, tag us in, or share through a public social-media feature may be visible to other users. We are not responsible for information you choose to make publicly available through a third-party platform.

INTERNATIONAL VISITORS

GOLDENMADE Studio is based in the United States. If you access the Website or provide information from outside the United States, your information may be transferred to, stored in, or processed in the United States or another country where our service providers operate.

The privacy and data-protection laws in those locations may differ from the laws in your country of residence.

CHILDREN’S PRIVACY

The Website and our services are intended for adults and are not directed to children under 18.

We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children under 13. If we learn that a child under 13 has provided personal information to us without appropriate parental or guardian authorization, we will take reasonable steps to delete it.

If you are a parent or legal guardian and believe a child has provided personal information to us, please contact us using the information below.

CHANGES TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in our practices, Website, services, technology, or legal obligations.

We encourage you to review this page periodically. If required by applicable law, we will provide additional notice or obtain consent for material changes.
