Your privacy matters here.
Golden Health Science was built on one principle: honesty. That principle shapes how this site handles your personal data just as much as it shapes the health science published here.
This Privacy Policy explains plainly 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. It is written in plain language because you deserve to understand it completely.
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, known as GDPR. GDPR is the European Union law that gives people clear rights over their personal data and requires organizations to handle that data responsibly and openly.
If you have any questions about how your data is handled, you can email us directly at privacy@goldenhealthscience.com, or reach us through the contact page at goldenhealthscience.com/contact/
If you subscribe to the Golden Health Science newsletter, we collect your email address. That is the only piece of personal information you are asked to provide. We do not ask for your name, your age, your location, your phone number, or any other personal details to subscribe.
Like most websites, Golden Health Science collects certain technical information automatically when you visit. This includes your IP address (the numerical address that identifies your device on the internet), the type of browser you are using, the pages you visit on this site, and the time and date of your visit. This information is collected through Google Analytics 4, a standard web analytics tool. Your IP address is anonymized, and the data is used only in aggregate form, which means we look at overall patterns of how people use the site rather than tracking individual people. It helps us understand which articles are most useful, how people move through the site, and where things can be improved.
This site uses cookies. A cookie is a small text file saved to your device when you visit a website. It lets the website remember certain information about your visit. The cookies used here are mainly essential cookies, which are needed for the site to work, and analytics cookies, which help us understand how the site is used. We do not use cookies to track your browsing on other websites, and we do not use cookies to serve you targeted advertising. When you first visit, a cookie banner asks you to accept or decline non-essential cookies, and non-essential cookies are not loaded until you accept. You can change your choice at any time. For the full details of every cookie this site uses and how to control them, please see our Cookie Policy.
The email address you give when subscribing is used only to send you the Golden Health Science newsletter. The newsletter contains new articles, health science updates, and educational content. It carries no advertisements, no sponsored content, and no promotion of any products or services.
Your email address is never sold to anyone.
It is never shared with any organization for marketing.
It is used for one purpose only: to send you the newsletter you asked for.
The technical information collected automatically is used only to understand how the site is used and to improve it for all readers. It is not used to identify individual people, and it is not shared with third parties for marketing.
Under GDPR, every organization that processes personal data must have a lawful basis for doing so. For Golden Health Science, the lawful bases are these.
Your email address is processed on the basis of your consent. You gave that consent when you chose to subscribe. You can withdraw it at any time by unsubscribing.
Technical information collected automatically is processed on the basis of legitimate interests. This means we have a genuine and reasonable interest in understanding how the site is used so we can make it better for everyone, balanced against your privacy.
Your email address is kept on our mailing list for as long as you stay subscribed. The moment you unsubscribe, your email address is removed from the mailing list permanently. If a subscriber stays fully inactive for 24 months, we may also remove their address to keep the list current.
Technical analytics data is kept in aggregate form for up to 14 months. This lets us compare trends across a year and the season around it, while keeping the data we hold to a minimum. This data does not contain information that identifies you personally.
Because Golden Health Science operates under GDPR, you have the following rights over your personal data.
You can ask us at any time what personal data we hold about you.
If anything we hold about you is wrong, you can ask us to correct it.
You can ask us to delete all personal data we hold about you at any time. This is sometimes called the right to be forgotten.
If you subscribed to the newsletter, you can unsubscribe and withdraw your consent at any time. Every email we send includes an unsubscribe link at the bottom.
You can object to how we process your data at any time.
You can ask us to provide the personal data you gave us in a common, machine-readable format.
If you believe your data rights have been broken, you can complain to the data protection authority in your country. In Finland this is the Office of the Data Protection Ombudsman, at tietosuoja.fi.
To exercise any of these rights, please email us at privacy@goldenhealthscience.com or contact us through the contact page at goldenhealthscience.com/contact/ We will respond to all requests within 30 days.
Golden Health Science uses a small number of trusted third-party services to run the site. These may include web hosting, an email delivery service for the newsletter, and an analytics service. Each of these operates under its own privacy policy and is chosen on the basis that it meets GDPR requirements. We do not allow any third-party service to use your data for its own marketing.
Some of the third-party services we use may store or process data on servers outside the European Union, for example in the United States. Where this happens, we use only providers that offer GDPR-recognized safeguards for such transfers, such as the EU Standard Contractual Clauses or an equivalent approved mechanism. This is to make sure your data receives the same level of protection wherever it is processed.
This site contains links to external websites, including scientific journals and health organizations. Once you leave Golden Health Science and visit an external website, this Privacy Policy no longer applies. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of any external website, and we encourage you to read the privacy policy of any site you visit.
Golden Health Science is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under the age of 16. If you believe a child under 16 has provided personal data to this site, please contact us and we will delete it promptly.
Golden Health Science may update this Privacy Policy at any time. The date at the top of this page will always show when it was last updated. If we make significant changes, we will notify subscribers by email. We recommend checking this page from time to time so you stay informed about how your data is protected.
If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy or about how your personal data is handled, please email us at privacy@goldenhealthscience.com or contact us through the contact page at goldenhealthscience.com/contact/ We aim to respond to all privacy questions promptly and openly.
