Golden Sun will never sell, share, rent, lease, trade, or otherwise release your personal information, Proprietary Content, or any data derived from your use of our Site or Services to any third party for their own commercial, marketing, analytical, or any other external purpose. This is an absolute commitment — not a default setting you must opt out of.
Specifically:
- No Sale of Data. We do not sell and have never sold personal information or Proprietary Content to any party, under any circumstances. This applies to all categories of information we collect, including personal details, design files, order history, and browsing data.

- No Data Brokering. We do not act as a data broker. We do not compile, package, or distribute customer data to third parties for any reason.
- No Monetization of Your Information. Your data exists in our systems solely to serve you. We derive no revenue, benefit, or value from transferring your information to anyone outside of Golden Sun.
5.1 Limited Exceptions
The only circumstances under which any of your information may be disclosed to a third party are:
- Service Providers Performing Work on Our Behalf: With trusted vendors who assist us in operating our business (e.g., payment processors, shipping carriers), solely to the extent necessary to perform their specific function for your order. These providers are contractually prohibited from using your information for any other purpose, retaining it beyond the scope of their service, or sharing it further.
- Technical Support and Diagnostics: We may occasionally need to share CAD files or other design files with equipment manufacturers, software vendors, or technical support providers for the sole purpose of diagnosing and troubleshooting issues related to our manufacturing equipment or software systems. When this occurs: (a) only the minimum file data necessary to resolve the technical issue will be shared; (b) all identifying customer information (name, business name, branding elements) will be removed or obscured where feasible; (c) the receiving party will be informed that the files are confidential and may not be retained, copied, or used for any purpose beyond the specific diagnostic issue; and (d) files will be deleted from the third party’s systems once the issue is resolved.
- Legal Obligations: When strictly required by law, regulation, subpoena, court order, or other enforceable legal process. In such cases, we will disclose only the minimum information legally required and, where permitted, will notify you of the disclosure.
- Business Transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your information would remain subject to the protections of this Privacy Policy. Any successor entity would be bound by these same commitments.
- With Your Express Written Consent: When you have specifically and voluntarily authorized a particular disclosure in writing.
- DATA SECURITY
We implement commercially reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect your personal information and Proprietary Content from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. These measures include:
- Encrypted data transmission (SSL/TLS)
- Secure file storage with access controls
- Regular security assessments
- Staff confidentiality training
No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure. While we strive to protect your information, we cannot guarantee absolute security.
