The short version
GoldDealerGuide.com is a content site. We don't require accounts, we don't ask for your financial information, and we don't sell personal data. We use standard analytics to understand what content is useful, and affiliate links that may set tracking cookies when clicked.
Information we collect
Information you provide
If you email us, we receive your email address and whatever you include in your message. We use it to reply and for nothing else.
Information collected automatically
Like most websites, we use analytics (Google Analytics 4) to collect standard usage data: pages visited, approximate location (city/country level), device and browser type, referral source, and interactions such as clicks on outbound links. This data is aggregated and does not identify you personally to us. Google's processing of this data is governed by Google's Privacy Policy.
Cookies
This site uses cookies for analytics as described above. In addition, when you click a link to a gold company or other partner, that company or its affiliate network may set cookies in your browser to attribute your visit to this site. Those cookies are governed by the partner's own privacy policy, not ours. You can block or clear cookies in your browser settings at any time; the site works fine without them.
Affiliate links and third parties
As described in our Affiliate Disclosure, some outbound links are referral links. Once you leave this site, the privacy practices of the destination — including any forms you fill out or accounts you open there — are governed by that company's privacy policy. We never see the personal or financial information you provide to a gold company.
How we use information
- To operate, maintain, and improve the site and its content
- To understand which guides and reviews readers find useful
- To respond to messages you send us
- To measure, in aggregate, how readers reach partner sites
Data sharing
We do not sell, rent, or trade personal information. Aggregated analytics data is processed by Google Analytics on our behalf. We may disclose information if required by law.
Your rights
Depending on where you live (including under the GDPR and the California Consumer Privacy Act), you may have rights to access, correct, or delete personal information, and to opt out of certain processing. Because we hold almost no personal data — typically only correspondence you've sent us — exercising these rights is usually as simple as emailing us. You can also install Google's Analytics opt-out browser add-on.
Children's privacy
This site covers retirement investing and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect information from children.
Changes to this policy
If we change this policy, we'll update this page and the date at the top. Material changes to how the site works will be reflected here before they take effect.
