Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how GoldBlock Workshop, LLC ("GoldBlock Workshop," "we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, and protects information when you visitgoldblockworkshop.com (the "Site") or communicate with us. We respect your privacy and collect only what we need to run the Site and serve you well.

If you have any questions, contact us at hello@goldblockworkshop.com.

Information we collect

Information you give us

• Email address — when you subscribe to our newsletter or updates.
• Contact details and message content — when you email us or use a contact form.

Information collected automatically

• Usage and device data — such as IP address, browser type, pages viewed, and referring pages, gathered through standard server logs and, where enabled, analytics.
• Cookies and similar technologies — see our Cookie Policy. Non-essential cookies are used only with your consent.
• Affiliate link activity — when you click an affiliate link, the destination retailer (for example, Amazon) may record the click through its own cookies. See our Affiliate Disclosure.

How we use your information

• To respond to your inquiries and provide requested content.
• To send newsletters or updates you have subscribed to (you can unsubscribe at any time).
• To operate, secure, maintain, and improve the Site.
• To understand, in aggregate, how the Site is used.
• To meet legal, tax, and compliance obligations.

We do not sell or rent your personal information.

How we share information

We share personal information only with service providers who help us operate the Site, and only as needed for them to perform their services for us. These may include:

• Email platform (Kit) — to manage subscriptions and send email you have requested.
• Hosting and content delivery (Cloudflare) — to serve and protect the Site.
• Affiliate networks and retailers — which set their own cookies when you follow an affiliate link, under their own privacy policies.

We may also disclose information where required by law, to protect our rights, or in connection with a business transfer. We do not authorize our service providers to use your information for their own purposes.

International data transfers

We operate from the United States, and your information may be processed in the U.S. or other countries where our service providers operate. These countries may have data-protection laws that differ from those in your country. Where required, we rely on appropriate safeguards for such transfers.

Data retention

We keep personal information only as long as needed for the purposes described here or as required by law. Newsletter data is kept until you unsubscribe or ask us to delete it.

Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have some or all of the following rights:

• EU / UK / EEA (GDPR / UK GDPR): access, correction, deletion, portability, restriction, and objection to processing, and the right to withdraw consent and to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority.
• California (CCPA / CPRA): to know what personal information we hold, to request deletion, to correct it, and to opt out of any "sale" or "sharing" (we do not sell or share personal information as those terms are defined). We will not discriminate against you for exercising these rights.
• Canada (PIPEDA): access to your personal information and the ability to request corrections.
• Everyone: you may ask what data we hold about you and request its deletion.

To exercise any of these rights, email hello@goldblockworkshop.com. Because we are the data controller for our newsletter, deletion and access requests are handled by us directly. We may need to verify your identity before acting on a request.

Children's privacy

The Site is not directed to children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 (or under 16 in the EU/UK). If you believe a child has provided us personal information, contact us and we will delete it.

Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect personal information. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Third-party links

The Site links to other websites, including retailers. We are not responsible for their content or privacy practices; review their policies before providing information to them.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by the "Last updated" date above, and where appropriate we will provide additional notice.
