Last updated: 08.22.2026
Global Gold by Emboss ("Global Gold," "we," "us," or "our") respects your privacy and is committed to protecting the personal information you share with us. This policy explains what we collect, how we use it, who we share it with, and the choices you have.
Information We Collect
When you submit an inquiry through our website, we collect the information you provide directly: your full name, email address, phone number, destination country, and any details you share about the help you need. If you contact us by phone, text, or email, we retain that correspondence and any information within it.
When you engage our services, we may also collect and handle sensitive documents and personal records necessary to complete your authentication project, such as identification, certificates, and legal paperwork.
If you make a payment to us, our third-party payment processor collects your payment details directly. We do not store your full card or bank account numbers on our own systems — see Payment Processing below.
We also automatically collect limited technical information when you visit the site, including your IP address, browser type, device information, and pages viewed. This is gathered through standard analytics tools described below.
How We Use Your Information
We use the information you provide to respond to your inquiry, schedule consultations, prepare service agreements, manage your authentication project, process payment, and communicate with you throughout your engagement. We use technical and analytics data to understand how visitors use our site and to improve its performance. If you have opted in to receive marketing communications, we use your email address for that purpose as described below.
Document Confidentiality
Documents and personal records provided in the course of an engagement are treated as strictly confidential. They are handled solely to complete your authentication project and are stored securely. We do not share them except as required to perform the authentication process (for example, with state authorities, the U.S. Department of State, foreign embassies, translators, or couriers) or as required by law.
International Data Transfers
Because Global Gold provides international document authentication, your information and documents may be transferred to, processed by, or shared with government authorities, embassies, consulates, translators, and couriers located outside the United States, as necessary to complete your authentication project. By engaging our services, you acknowledge and consent to this transfer. We take reasonable steps to work only with authorities and partners appropriate to your specific engagement.
Payment Processing
Payments for our services are handled by a third-party payment processor. That processor collects and stores your payment information directly, subject to its own privacy policy and security standards. We retain only the minimum transaction information necessary for our own business and tax records — we do not store your full card or bank account numbers.
Analytics and Cookies
Our website uses Google Analytics to help us understand site traffic and visitor behavior. Google Analytics uses cookies and similar technologies to collect this information. You can control cookies through your browser settings and can opt out of Google Analytics using Google's browser add-on. We also use Google Search Console to monitor site performance in search results.
Email Marketing Communications
If you provide your email address through our website or during an engagement, we may send you service-related communications necessary to your project (such as status updates and document requests) — these are not marketing and cannot be opted out of while your engagement is active.
If you separately opt in to receive marketing communications (such as updates, educational content, or promotional offers), we will only send those with your consent. Every marketing email includes a clear way to unsubscribe, and we will honor that request. Unsubscribing from marketing communications does not affect service-related communications tied to an active engagement.
How We Share Your Information
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We share information only:
- With the third parties necessary to deliver our services (such as government authorities, embassies, translators, and courier services)
- With our payment processor, to complete transactions
- With service providers who support our website, form submissions, email delivery, and business operations
- When required by law
Data Retention
We retain your information for as long as necessary to provide our services, comply with legal and professional obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements.
Data Security
We take reasonable measures to protect your personal information against unauthorized access, loss, or misuse. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, but we work to safeguard the information entrusted to us.
Your Choices
You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of the personal information we hold about you by contacting us using the details below. You may unsubscribe from marketing communications at any time using the link in any marketing email or by contacting us directly.
Children's Privacy
Our services are intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy from time to time. The revised version will be posted on this page with an updated date.
