Email and text communications

If you provide your email address or phone number, we may use that information to respond to your inquiry or communicate with you about the reason you contacted us.

If we separately offer marketing emails or text messages, we will provide any disclosures and opt-out options required for those communications. You can also ask us to stop nonessential communications at any time.

Service providers

We use third-party services to operate our website and communicate with visitors. These may include website hosting, customer relationship management, form processing, email, analytics, and media platforms.

For example, our website and forms may use GoHighLevel, and our website may display or link to content hosted by services such as YouTube, Instagram, and Facebook. Those services may process information according to their own privacy policies.

Cookies and website technology

Our website and the services embedded within it may use cookies or similar technologies for essential website functionality, security, analytics, embedded media, or other website features.

Your browser may allow you to limit or delete cookies. Some website features may not function properly if certain cookies are disabled.

Sharing your information

We do not sell your personal information.

We may share information with service providers when necessary to operate our website, manage inquiries, provide requested services, or conduct our business. We may also disclose information when required by law or when reasonably necessary to protect our rights, safety, or property.

Children's privacy

Hearts of Gold Media works with schools and community organizations, but this website is intended primarily for adults, including parents, educators, administrators, business owners, nominators, and community members.

We do not knowingly use this website to solicit personal information directly from children under 13 without appropriate authorization. School and speaking inquiries should be submitted by an adult.

Data retention and security

We retain information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, including responding to inquiries, maintaining business records, and fulfilling legal obligations.

We take reasonable steps to protect information in our possession, but no internet transmission or electronic storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
