3. How We Use Your Information and Legal Bases
We only process personal data when we have a valid legal basis under applicable law, including the EU/UK General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Brazilian General Data Protection Law (LGPD – Law No. 13,709/2018).
| Purpose | Data used | Legal basis |
|---|---|---|
| Operating, securing and maintaining the website | Device, connection and usage data | Legitimate interest |
| Responding to your emails and requests | Name, email address, message content | Legitimate interest / steps at your request |
| Measuring audience and improving content (analytics) | Usage data, online identifiers | Consent |
| Displaying advertising, measuring ad performance and preventing ad fraud | Device data, online identifiers, approximate location | Consent (where required); legitimate interest for non-personalized ads and fraud prevention |
| Showing personalized ads based on your interests | Online identifiers, usage data, inferred interests | Consent |
| Complying with legal obligations and defending legal claims | Any relevant data | Legal obligation / exercise of rights |
Where we rely on consent, you can withdraw it at any time through our Privacy & Cookie Settings. Withdrawing consent does not affect processing carried out before the withdrawal.
4. Cookies and Consent
We use cookies and similar technologies for the purposes described above. In regions where consent is required (such as the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, Switzerland and Brazil), non-essential cookies are only used after you give your consent through our consent banner, which is provided by Google’s consent management platform certified under the IAB Europe Transparency & Consent Framework. You can accept, reject or customize your choices, and change them at any time. Full details are in our Cookie Policy.
5. Advertising Partners and Other Third Parties
We share personal information only with the categories of recipients below, and only as needed for the purposes described in this policy:
- Google Ad Manager and its advertising partners: Golden Cred is funded by advertising served through Google Ad Manager. Google and its certified partners may use cookies and online identifiers to serve, personalize (if you consent) and measure ads, and to prevent fraud. Learn more at How Google uses information from sites that use its services. You can manage Google ad personalization at My Ad Center.
- Google Analytics: to measure audience and site performance using aggregated statistics.
- Affiliate programs: some articles contain affiliate links. If you click on one, the partner website may set its own cookies to attribute the referral. We do not share your name or email with affiliate partners. Once you leave Golden Cred, the partner’s privacy policy applies.
- Service providers: hosting, content delivery, email and security providers that process data on our behalf under contractual obligations.
- Authorities: when required by law, court order, or to protect our rights, users or the public.
We do not sell your name, email address or contact details. However, the use of advertising cookies and identifiers may be considered a “sale” or “sharing” of personal information under some U.S. state laws. See Section 11 for your choices.
6. International Data Transfers
Orvian Media LLC is based in the United States, and our service providers and advertising partners may process data in the United States and other countries. When personal data from the EEA, UK, Switzerland or Brazil is transferred internationally, we rely on appropriate safeguards, such as the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses, the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (where the recipient is certified), or other mechanisms permitted by the GDPR and the LGPD.
7. Data Retention
- Emails you send us: kept for up to 24 months after our last interaction, then deleted.

We may keep data for longer if required by law or to resolve disputes.
8. How We Protect Your Data

No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, but we work to protect your data and will notify affected users and authorities of security incidents where required by law.
