How we store and secure information we collect

Information storage and security

We use data hosting service providers in the United States to host the information we collect. Our host has state-of-the-art security processes in place, including enterprise-grade WAF (Website Application Firewalls), DDoS protection, Browser Integrity Checks, OWASP ModSecurity and network monitoring. Data at rest is secured with several months of rolling versioned backups at an offsite location managed by an enterprise level backup supplier who also have their own redundancies in place. Data in transit is secured over 256-bit Secure Sockets Layer encryption.

While we implement safeguards designed to protect your information, no security system is impenetrable and due to the inherent nature of the Internet, we cannot guarantee that data, during transmission through the Internet or while stored on our systems or otherwise in our care, is absolutely safe from intrusion by others. We will respond to requests about this within a reasonable timeframe.

How long we keep information

How long we keep information we collect about you depends on the type of information, as described in further detail below. After such time, we will either delete or anonymize your information or, if this is not possible (for example, because the information has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your information and isolate it from any further use until deletion is possible.

  • Account information: We retain your account information until you request to delete your account. We also retain some of your information as necessary to comply with our legal obligations, to resolve disputes, to enforce our agreements, to support business operations and to continue to develop and improve our Services. Where we retain information for Service improvement and development, we take steps to eliminate information that directly identifies you, and we only use the information to uncover collective insights about the use of our Services.

  • Information you share on our product: If your account is deactivated or disabled, some of your information and the content you have provided will remain in order to allow your team members or other users to make full use of our product. For example, we continue to display comments and activities you have posted on Golden Carers.

  • Managed accounts: If our product is made available to you through an organization (e.g., your employer), we retain your information as long as required by the administrator of your account.

  • Marketing information: If you have elected to receive marketing emails from us, we retain information about your marketing preferences unless you specifically ask us to delete such information. We retain information derived from cookies and other tracking technologies for a reasonable period of time from the date such information was created.

How to access and control your information

You have certain choices available to you when it comes to your information. Below is a summary of those choices, how to exercise them and any limitations. We will respond to requests about this within a reasonable timeframe.

Your Choices:

You have the right to request a copy of your information, to object to our use of your information (including for marketing purposes), to request the deletion or restriction of your information, or to request your information in a structured, electronic format.

You can exercise some of the choices by logging into our product and using settings available within our product or your account. Where our product is administered for you by an administrator, you may need to contact your administrator to assist with your requests first. For all other requests, you may contact us as provided in the Contact Us section below to request assistance.

Your request and choices may be limited in certain cases: for example, if fulfilling your request would reveal information about another person, or if you ask to delete information which we or your administrator are permitted by law or have compelling legitimate interests to keep.

If you have unresolved concerns, you may have the right to complain to a data protection authority in the country where you live, where you work or where you feel your rights were infringed.

  • Access and update your information: Our products give you the ability to access and update certain information about you from within the product. For example, you can access your profile information and see content on your profile page. You can update your profile information within your profile settings and modify content that contains information about you using the editing tools associated with that content.

  • Deactivate subscription or let a subscription expire: Apart from our Golden Care Tools monthly payment plan, none of our other memberships automatically renew. You can deactivate your Golden Care Tools monthly subscription at any time from within your account settings. Otherwise, please contact your administrator. If you have a yearly membership you can let it expire without worrying about future charges. Please be aware that this does not delete your information.

  • Delete your information: Our products give you the ability to delete certain information about you from within the Service. For example, you can remove certain profile information within your profile settings. Please note, however, that we may need to retain certain information for record keeping purposes, to complete transactions or to comply with our legal obligations. Your account, comments, and any other information you have personally input can be deleted upon request, but may be kept in backup facilities for up to 90 days.

  • Request that we stop using your information: In some cases, you may ask us to stop accessing, storing, using and otherwise processing your information where you believe we don't have the appropriate rights to do so. For example, if you believe a Services account was created for you without your permission or you are no longer an active user, you can request that we delete your account as provided in this policy. Where you gave us consent to use your information for a limited purpose, you can contact us to withdraw that consent, but this will not affect any processing that has already taken place. You can also opt-out of our use of your information for marketing purposes by contacting us. When you make such requests, we may need time to investigate and facilitate your request. If there is a delay or dispute as to whether we have the right to continue using your information, we will restrict any further use of your information until the request is honored or the dispute is resolved.

  • Opt out of communications: You may opt out of receiving promotional communications from us by using the unsubscribe link within each email, or by contacting us to have your contact information removed from our promotional email list or registration database. Even after you opt out from receiving promotional messages from us, you will continue to receive transactional messages from us regarding our Services. You can opt out of some notification messages in your account settings.

  • Turn off Cookie Controls: Relevant browser-based cookie controls are described above.

  • Send "Do Not Track" Signals: Some browsers have incorporated "Do Not Track" (DNT) features that can send a signal to the websites you visit indicating you do not wish to be tracked. Because there is not yet a common understanding of how to interpret the DNT signal, our Services do not currently respond to browser DNT signals. You can use the range of other tools we provide to control data collection and use, including the ability to opt out of receiving marketing from us as described above.

  • Data portability: Data portability is the ability to obtain some of your information in a format you can move from one service provider to another (for instance, when you transfer your mobile phone number to another carrier). Depending on the context, this applies to some of your information, but not to all of your information. Should you request it, we will provide you with an electronic file of your basic account information. Golden Care Tools data can be exported via the Reports CSV file download.

How we transfer information we collect internationally

International transfers of information we collect

We collect information globally and primarily store that information in the United States and Australia. We transfer, process and store your information outside of your country of residence, to wherever we, Golden Carers, or our third-party service providers operate for the purpose of providing you our product. Whenever we transfer your information, we take measures to protect it.

  • International transfers within Golden Carers: To facilitate our global operations, we transfer information to the United States and allow access to that information from countries in which Golden Carers have operations for the purposes described in this policy. These countries may not have equivalent privacy and data protection laws to the laws of many of the countries where our customers and users are based. When we share information about you within and among Golden Carers, we make use of industry data protection norms.

Other important privacy information

Notice to End Users

Our products are intended for both personal use and use by organizations. Where our product are made available to you through an organization (e.g. your employer), that organization is the administrator of our product and is responsible for the end-users and/or Service sites over which it has control.

If this is the case, please direct your data privacy questions to your administrator, as your use of our product is subject to that organization's policies. We are not responsible for the privacy or security practices of an administrator's organization, which may be different than this policy.

Even if our products are not currently administered to you by an organization, if you are a member of a team administered by an organization, or if you use an email address provided by an organization (such as your work email address) to access our product, then the administrator of that team or the owner of the domain associated with your organizational email address (e.g. your employer) may assert administrative control over your account and use of our product at a later date. You will be notified if this happens.

Administrators are able to restrict your access, and in some cases:

  • require you to reset your account password;
  • restrict, suspend or terminate your access to our product or your account;
  • control your ability to edit, restrict, modify or delete account information;
  • change your account information, including profile information or the email address associated with your account;
  • access information in and about your account;
  • access or retain information stored as part of your account.

If you do not want an administrator to be able to assert control over your account or use of our product, you should deactivate your membership or remove any email addresses containing a domain owned or controlled by the administrator entirely from your account.

Once an administrator asserts control over your account or use of our product, you may no longer be able to withdraw membership or change the email address associated with your account without administrator approval.

Please contact your organization or refer to your administrator's organizational policies for more information.

Our policy towards children

If we become aware that a child under 16 has provided us with personal information, we will take steps to delete such information. If you become aware that a child has provided us with personal information, please contact our support services.

Changes to our Privacy Policy

We may change this privacy policy from time to time. We will post any privacy policy changes on this page and, if the changes are significant, we will provide a more prominent notice by adding a notice on our product homepages, login screens, or by sending you an email notification. We encourage you to review our privacy policy whenever you use our product to stay informed about our information practices and the ways you can help protect your privacy.

If you disagree with any changes to this privacy policy, you will need to stop using our product and deactivate your account(s), as outlined above.
