Privacy Policy

Effective Date: March 1, 2025
Last Updated: March 3, 2025

Welcome to USGoldCardImmigration.com ("we," "us," or "our"). We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring that your personal information is handled with care, transparency, and integrity. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our website (the "Site"), contact us, or use our services (collectively, the "Services"). By accessing or using our Services, you agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use our Services.

1. Who We Are

USGoldCardImmigration.com is a private, independent website dedicated to providing information and facilitating connections between individuals interested in the US Gold Card program and licensed immigration attorneys. We are not affiliated with, nor do we represent, the U.S. government, the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), the Trump administration, or any official entity issuing or administering the US Gold Card program. This Privacy Policy applies solely to the information we collect in connection with our Services.

2. Information We Collect

We collect information to provide you with reliable resources, connect you with trusted legal professionals, and improve our Services. The types of information we may collect include:

a. Information You Provide to Us

• Personal Information: When you contact us, submit an inquiry, or request attorney referrals, we may collect your name, email address, phone number, country of residence, and any other details you choose to share (e.g., financial or immigration goals).
• Communications: If you email, call, or message us, we retain the content of those communications, including any attachments or additional information you provide.
• Feedback: Information you submit through surveys, reviews, or feedback forms.

b. Information Collected Automatically

• Usage Data: We collect data about your interactions with our Site, such as your IP address, browser type, operating system, referral URLs, pages visited, time spent on the Site, and clickstream data.
• Cookies and Tracking Technologies: We use cookies, web beacons, and similar tools to enhance your experience, analyze usage, and tailor content. Cookies may store preferences or track Site navigation. You can manage cookie preferences through your browser settings.

c. Information from Third Parties

• Analytics Providers: We work with third-party analytics services (e.g., Google Analytics) to understand Site usage and improve functionality. These providers may collect anonymized or aggregated data about your visit.
• Attorney Network: If you request a referral, we may receive confirmation from our partnered attorneys about your engagement, though we do not collect sensitive case details unless you explicitly share them with us.

We do not process US Gold Card applications, issue green cards, or collect immigration-related documentation (e.g., passports, financial records) directly. Such information is handled solely by the attorneys we connect you with or official government channels.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use your information to fulfill our mission of providing trusted guidance and attorney connections. Specifically, we may use it to:

• Respond to your inquiries and provide personalized support.
• Connect you with licensed immigration attorneys based on your needs and preferences.
• Deliver accurate, up-to-date information about the US Gold Card program.
• Improve our Services, including Site functionality and user experience.
• Analyze trends and usage to enhance our offerings.
• Send you updates, newsletters, or promotional materials (with your consent, where required by law).
• Comply with legal obligations or protect our rights, such as in response to subpoenas or fraud prevention.

4. How We Share Your Information

We value your privacy and do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We may share your information only in the following circumstances:

• With Your Consent: We share your details with vetted immigration attorneys when you request a referral, but only with your explicit permission.
• Service Providers: We engage trusted third parties (e.g., web hosting, analytics, or email services) to support our operations. These providers are bound by confidentiality agreements and may only use your information to perform services for us.
• Legal Requirements: We may disclose information if required by law, court order, or government request, or to protect our rights, property, or safety, or that of our users.
• Business Transfers: If we are involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction, subject to continued privacy protections.

We are not associated with and do not share your information with the U.S. government, USCIS, or any entity administering the US Gold Card program unless legally compelled to do so.

5. Your Choices and Rights

You have control over your information:

• Opt-Out: You may opt out of marketing emails by clicking "unsubscribe" in any email or contacting us directly. Essential communications (e.g., referral confirmations) may still be sent.
• Cookies: Adjust your browser settings to refuse cookies or alert you when they are used. Note that disabling cookies may affect Site functionality.
• Access and Correction: Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, or delete your personal information. Contact us at [insert contact email] to make such requests.

For California residents under the CCPA (if applicable):

• You may request disclosure of the categories of personal information collected, sources, purposes, and third parties with whom it’s shared.
• You may request deletion of your personal information, subject to exceptions (e.g., legal obligations).
• We do not "sell" personal information as defined by the CCPA.

6. Data Security

We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect your information from unauthorized access, loss, or misuse. However, no online system is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. You share information with us at your own risk, though we strive to maintain the highest standards of protection.

7. International Users

Our Services are hosted in the United States and governed by U.S. law. If you access our Site from outside the U.S., your information may be transferred to, stored, and processed in the U.S., where privacy laws may differ from your jurisdiction. By using our Services, you consent to this transfer.

8. Children’s Privacy

Our Services are not intended for individuals under 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If we learn that we have collected such information, we will take steps to delete it promptly.

9. Third-Party Links

Our Site may contain links to external websites, such as news sources or attorney profiles. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of these third parties. Review their policies before sharing information.

10. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. The "Last Updated" date at the top will indicate the latest revision. Significant changes will be notified via the Site or email (if applicable). Your continued use of our Services after updates constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
