THIRD PARTY SITES AND SERVICES.

We may establish relationships with third parties by creating links between the Website and Services to their websites and services, such as social media platforms, advertising services or other websites and applications. These links are not an endorsement of, or representation that we are affiliated with, any third party.

CHILDREN'S ONLINE PRIVACY PROTECTION ACT.

The Federal Trade Commission, United States' consumer protection agency, enforces the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), which spells out what operators of websites and online services must do to protect children's privacy and safety online. We do not knowingly market to or collect personally identifiable information from children under the age of 16. We encourage parents and legal guardians to monitor their children's Internet use. Also, we strongly encourage parents to help us enforce this Privacy Policy by instructing their children never to provide personal information on the Website without permission. It is possible that due to fraud or deception by others, we may unknowingly receive information pertaining to children under the age of 16. If we learn that any user of the Service is under the age of 16, we will take appropriate steps to delete that individual’s personal information and restrict that individual from future access to the Service.

PUBLIC FORUMS.

The Website may have chat rooms, forums, message boards and newsgroups available to its users. Please remember that any information disclosed in these areas becomes public information. Exercise caution when deciding to disclose your personal information. If you post personal information online that is accessible to the public, you may receive unsolicited messages from other parties in return. As these forums are public and open for users to interact with each other, we expect all its users to respect the rights of others. By using these forums, you agree that we are not responsible for any information that you disclose or communicate in such forums, and any disclosures you make are at your own risk.

INTERNATIONAL INFORMATION TRANSFERS.

GldScr.com operates in the United States and has operations, affiliates and service providers in other countries, and your personal information may be collected, used and stored in the United States or other locations. While we are committed to providing your information with a high level of privacy protection, you should know that the general level of privacy protection for personal information in the United States may not be the same as that provided in other countries. If you are located outside of the United States, please be aware that any information you provide to us will be transferred to the United States. By using the Website or our Services and/or providing us with personally identifiable information, you fully understand and unambiguously consent to this transfer and the collection and processing of information in the United States.

We place a priority on the security of personal information and we have security measures in place to protect the loss, misuse and alteration of the information under our control. We are able to keep your personal information safe and secure by utilizing the industry standard technology, including password protected member records, firewalls, secure servers and Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption technology. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we are committed to protecting your information, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us.
