Summary 

At Golden Daily Scoop, your privacy matters. We collect only what we need — like your name, email, IP address, and comments. We use this info to reply to messages, send newsletters, and learn how people use our site.

We don’t sell your data. We don’t run ads. We don’t use cookies. You can always contact us to ask what we know about you, delete your info, or update it. We use strong security, and we never target kids under 13.

This policy explains everything in full detail.


Introduction

Welcome to goldendailyscoop.com, run by Nina. This page explains what personal data we collect, why we collect it, and what your rights are. We follow privacy laws like the GDPR and CCPA, even if we’re not based in those places.

By using this website, you agree to the rules explained here. If you have questions, you can always reach out at [email protected].


Data We Collect

We collect only the basic information needed to run the site. Here’s what we collect:

  • Name: If you use our contact form

  • Email address: If you sign up for our newsletter

  • IP address: When you visit the site (via Google Analytics)

  • Comments: If you post on blog articles

We do not collect credit card info, government IDs, health data, or anything sensitive.

We do not knowingly collect data from children under 13.


Legal Grounds

We collect and use your data under the following legal grounds from the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR):

  • Email address (newsletter): Collected with your consent under Article 6(1)(a)

  • Name (contact form): Collected under our legitimate interest to reply to you, under Article 6(1)(f)

You can withdraw consent at any time by contacting us.


How We Use Data

We use your personal data for the following:

  • To reply to your contact form messages

  • To send newsletters if you sign up

  • To track how the site is being used (through Google Analytics)

  • To allow you to post comments on blog posts

We do not use your data for profiling, advertising, or automated decisions.


Sharing

We don’t sell or trade your data. We only share it with:

  • Google Analytics: to understand traffic. Google may see your IP address and browser info. They do not get your name or email.

  • Hosting provider: Our website host may process data like IP addresses as part of technical operations.

We do not use any ad networks or marketing services.


Cookies & Tracking

We do not use cookies of any kind — no tracking, no marketing, and no analytics cookies that store on your device.

Because of this:

  • We do not use a cookie banner

  • There are no cookie settings to adjust


Your Rights

You have rights over your data. You can:

  • Ask what personal data we have

  • Ask us to correct incorrect info

  • Ask us to delete your data

  • Ask us to send you a copy

  • Object to how we use your data (in some cases)

Just email us at [email protected] to make a request. We will reply within 30 days.


Children’s Privacy

We do not target or collect data from children under 13. If you believe your child has provided information, contact us and we’ll delete it right away.


International Transfers

We are based in the United States, and that’s where your data is stored. We do not transfer data to other countries like the EU or UK.

If that ever changes, we’ll update this policy and use proper legal safeguards.


Security

We care about keeping your info safe. We use:

  • SSL/HTTPS to encrypt data sent to and from our site

  • Strong passwords for all admin accounts

  • Security plugins and firewalls like Wordfence

  • Regular updates to WordPress and plugins

Even though no system is perfect, we do our best to keep your data secure.


Retention

We keep your data only as long as needed:

  • Contact form messages: Kept for 1 year

  • Newsletter emails: Kept until you unsubscribe

  • Analytics data (IP address): Stored by Google, usually for 26 months

  • Comments: Kept as long as the blog post is public

You can ask us to delete your info anytime.


Automated Decisions

We do not use any automated decision-making or profiling. Everything on the site is manual and personal.


Do Not Track

Some browsers let you send a “Do Not Track” request. We currently do not respond to these signals, because most websites don’t support them and there’s no standard.


California Rights

If you’re a California resident, you have rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), even though we don’t sell data.

You can:

  • Ask what info we have about you

  • Ask us to delete your info

  • Ask us to stop using it in certain ways

To make a request, just email [email protected].

We will never discriminate against you for using your privacy rights.


Contact Details

If you have questions, you can contact us:

We do not have a Data Protection Officer or EU representative.


Changes

We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we will:

  • Change the “Last Updated” date at the top

  • Post the new policy on this page

  • Optionally notify subscribers by email

We recommend checking back once in a while.
