Privacy

Updated November 7, 2026

Golden Hour Digital LLC, in Portland, Oregon, runs agoldenhour.co. This page explains what the site collects and what we do with it.

What we collect

• The note form. Your name, email, topic and message. Our web host, Netlify, stores the note and passes it to us. We use it to reply.
• Bookings. “Book a consultation” opens Microsoft Bookings, which runs under our Microsoft 365 account. What you enter there goes to Microsoft and to us, so we can set up the call. Microsoft’s privacy statement applies on that page.
• Email. If you write to us, we keep the email to reply and for our records.
• Video links. When we email a practice, we may include a link to a short video made for them, at agoldenhour.co/for/. The same link may appear as a QR code on a printed page we leave at the office. The video page records when the link is opened, when the video is played, how much of it is watched, whether “Book a consultation” is clicked, whether the visit came from the email or the printed page, and which pages of this site are opened next, along with the practice name in the link. Netlify stores each record with the IP address and browser type. We use it to know when to follow up.
• YouTube. The videos are hosted on YouTube. The page loads a still frame from YouTube’s servers, so YouTube receives your IP address. The player and YouTube’s player scripts load only when you press play; the scripts tell the page how far the video has played. The player runs in YouTube’s privacy-enhanced mode (youtube-nocookie.com). Once a video plays, Google may set cookies and collect viewing data under its own privacy policy.
• Server logs. Netlify records standard technical details, such as IP address and browser type, to run and protect the site.

Notes in your browser

The site saves one small setting in your browser so the opening light sequence doesn’t replay on every visit. It holds no personal information and stays on your device.

If you open one of our video links, the browser also keeps that link’s video and practice name for 30 days. While it’s there, the pages you open on this site are recorded with that practice name, as described above. Clearing your browser data removes both.

Analytics and advertising

We use Google Analytics to see how people find and use the site: the pages you view and for how long, your device and browser, your approximate location (city level), and the site or search that sent you. It sets cookies so it can recognize a returning visit. Google processes this data for us under its data processing terms, and we keep it for 14 months. We don’t share it with Google for Google’s own products.

We may also advertise on Google, Meta (Facebook and Instagram) and LinkedIn. To measure those ads and show them to people who have visited the site, we may use the Google Ads tag, the Meta Pixel and the LinkedIn Insight Tag. These set cookies and send details such as the pages you view and your device to those companies, which handle the data under their own privacy policies.

If your browser sends a Global Privacy Control signal, we treat it as an opt-out: Google Analytics runs without cookies and no advertising cookies are set. Visitors from the European Economic Area, the UK and Switzerland get the same treatment. Google’s tools run there without cookies, and any other advertising tag asks for your consent first.

You can also block cookies in your browser, use Google’s opt-out add-on, or change your ad settings in your Google, Meta and LinkedIn accounts.

Visitors from the EEA, the UK and Switzerland

Golden Hour Digital LLC is responsible for your information under the GDPR and the UK GDPR. We use it on these grounds: to reply to you and set up a call or a project you ask about (steps before a contract, and the contract itself); to run, protect and understand the site, and to follow up on a video we made for your practice (our legitimate interests); and to keep business records the law requires.

You can ask to see, correct, delete or move your information, to limit how we use it, or object to our use of it. You can also complain to your local data protection authority.

Our providers (Netlify, Microsoft and Google) store and process data in the United States. They protect transfers with the EU–U.S. Data Privacy Framework and its UK and Swiss extensions, or with standard contractual clauses.

Children

This site is for businesses. We don’t knowingly collect information from children under 13.

Changes

If the site changes what it collects, we’ll update this page and the date above.
