Privacy Policy

01Introduction

Goldman Brands (“we”, “us”, “our”) is committed to protecting the privacy of everyone who visits this website or contacts us. This policy sets out what personal information we collect, why we collect it, how we use it and the rights you have over it.

We are the data controller for the personal information described here. Our registered address is BUSINESS CENTRE 1, M FLOOR THE MEYDAN HOTEL NAD AL SHEBA DUBAI UAE. If you have any questions about this policy, please contact us at russell@goldman-brands.com.

This policy applies to this website only. It does not apply to any third-party website you may reach through a link on our site.

02Information We Collect

Depending on how you use this website and how you contact us, we may collect:

• Contact details — your name, email address, telephone number and company name, where you provide them.
• Correspondence — the content of enquiries, emails and other messages you send us, together with our replies.
• Technical information — your IP address, browser type and version, device type, operating system and approximate location, collected automatically when you visit the site.
• Usage information — the pages you view, how long you spend on them and the links you follow.

We do not set out to collect special category data, such as information about health, race, religion or political opinions. Please do not send us information of this kind unless we have specifically asked for it.

03How We Use Your Information

We use personal information to:

• respond to enquiries and correspond with you;
• discuss and progress potential licensing, commercial or business opportunities;
• manage our relationships with clients, licensors, licensees and partners;
• operate, maintain and improve this website;
• keep records for our own administrative purposes; and
• comply with our legal and regulatory obligations.

Our lawful bases

Under the UK GDPR we rely on the following lawful bases for processing:

• Legitimate interests — to respond to enquiries, run and develop our business, and keep this website secure and working properly. We consider that these interests are not overridden by your rights and freedoms.
• Consent — where you have given it, for example in relation to non-essential cookies. You may withdraw consent at any time.
• Legal obligation — where we are required to process information in order to comply with the law.
• Contract — where processing is necessary to enter into or perform a contract with you.

We do not sell personal information, and we do not use it for automated decision-making or profiling that produces legal effects.

04How We Collect Information

We collect personal information:

• Directly from you — when you complete a form on this site, email us, telephone us or otherwise correspond with us.
• Automatically — through cookies and similar technologies, when you use the website.
• From third parties — such as publicly available business sources, where we are identifying or verifying a potential commercial contact.

05Cookies

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow a site to function correctly and help the operator understand how it is being used.

This website may use:

• Essential cookies — required for the site to work, for example to maintain security or remember your preferences. These cannot be switched off.
• Analytics cookies — which help us understand how visitors use the site so that we can improve it. These are set only where you have consented.
• Third-party cookies — set by services embedded in our pages, such as video players or analytics providers. These are governed by the relevant provider’s own policy.

You can control and delete cookies through your browser settings. Please note that blocking cookies may affect how parts of this website work.

06Sharing Your Information

We may share personal information with:

• service providers who support our business, such as website hosting, IT, email and analytics providers, who process information on our instructions;
• professional advisers, including lawyers and accountants, where it is necessary for them to act for us;
• commercial partners, where sharing is necessary to progress an opportunity you have asked us about and it is appropriate to do so; and
• regulators, law enforcement or other authorities, where we are required or permitted to do so by law.

Where a service provider is located outside the United Kingdom, we take steps to ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place, such as a UK International Data Transfer Agreement or the UK addendum to the EU Standard Contractual Clauses.

We do not sell or rent personal information to third parties.

07Data Security

We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal information against unauthorised access, loss, misuse or alteration. Access is limited to those who need it for the purposes set out in this policy.

No method of transmission over the internet, and no method of electronic storage, is completely secure. While we take care to protect the information you provide, we cannot guarantee its absolute security, and any transmission is made at your own risk.

08Data Retention

We keep personal information only for as long as we need it for the purposes described in this policy, including to meet any legal, accounting or reporting requirements.

• Enquiries that do not lead to a business relationship are kept for a limited period and then deleted.
• Records relating to clients, licensors, licensees and partners are kept for the duration of the relationship and for a period afterwards.
• Information we are required to keep by law is retained for the period that the law requires.

When information is no longer needed, we delete it or make it anonymous.

09Your Rights

Under UK data protection law you have the right to:

• ask for access to the personal information we hold about you;
• ask us to correct information that is inaccurate or incomplete;
• ask us to delete information where there is no good reason for us to continue holding it;
• object to processing carried out on the basis of legitimate interests;
• ask us to restrict processing in certain circumstances;
• ask for a copy of the information you provided to us in a portable format; and
• withdraw your consent at any time, where we rely on consent.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at russell@goldman-brands.com. We will respond within one month, although this period may be extended where a request is particularly complex.

If you are not satisfied with our response, you have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office, the UK supervisory authority for data protection, at ico.org.uk.
