Privacy Policy
Your privacy matters to us. This page explains clearly what information we collect, why we collect it, and how we protect it.
YOUR PRIVACY MATTERS
Golden Health Science was built on one principle.
Honesty.
That principle applies to how this site handles your personal data just as much as it applies to the health science published here.
This Privacy Policy explains clearly what information is collected when you use this site, how it is used, how it is protected, and what rights you have over your own data.
Please read it carefully.
It is written in plain language because you deserve to understand it completely.
WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR DATA
The data controller for this website is Golden Health Science, founded and operated by Ikechukwu Raymond.
Golden Health Science is based in Finland and operates under the laws of the European Union, including the General Data Protection Regulation, which is commonly known as GDPR.
GDPR is the European Union law that gives people clear rights over their personal data and requires organisations to handle that data responsibly and transparently.
If you have any questions about how your data is handled, you can contact us through the contact page at goldenhealthscience.com/contact/
