Privacy Policy

Effective date: January 3, 2026

Golden Threads is a service operated by Retrogram Music LLC ("Retrogram," "we," "us," or "our"). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and share information when you interact with Golden Threads, including through our website (goldenthreads.me) and our AI experiences.

1) Key points

• If you choose to share your contact information, we use it to help connect you with third-party service providers ("Partners") who may be able to help you.
• If you choose to work with a Partner, we may earn a commission or referral fee.
• You can request deletion of your data by emailing [email protected].

2) Scope

This Privacy Policy applies to:

• Our website and pages we control on goldenthreads.me
• Golden Threads AI experiences (including Custom GPTs) where you voluntarily submit information to us
• Communications with us (for example, email)

This policy does not govern how OpenAI processes data within ChatGPT. OpenAI has its own policies for ChatGPT.

3) Notice at collection

When you submit information to Golden Threads (for example, via a "submit" or "confirm" step in an AI experience), we may collect:

• Contact info (email address and/or social handle if you provide it)
• A summary of your situation (only if you agree to share it)
• Basic metadata (for example, timestamp, approximate location like country, and device/browser info)

We collect this to operate the service, facilitate introductions to Partners, prevent abuse, and improve reliability.

4) Information we collect

A) Information you provide

You may choose to provide:

• Email address and/or social handle
• Intake details you type (goals, constraints, preferences)
• An optional summary of your situation (if you consent to sharing a summary)

Please do not share highly sensitive personal information unless you are comfortable doing so.

B) Information collected automatically

We may collect:

• Logs and technical data (timestamps, request logs, user agent)
• Approximate location (for example, country)
• Security signals to prevent fraud and abuse

5) How we use information

We use information to:

• Provide introductions and help connect you with Partners who may assist you
• Contact you with next steps you requested
• Operate, maintain, and secure our services
• Measure performance and improve the experience
• Comply with legal obligations and enforce policies

6) How we share information

We may share information in these situations:

A) With Partners for introductions

If you request, consent to, or proceed with an introduction, we may share your contact info and relevant details with one or more Partners so they can contact you and provide services.

B) Referral commissions

If you choose to work with a Partner, we may receive compensation (for example, a referral fee or commission) from that Partner. We may also track outcomes related to introductions for attribution and operations.

C) With service providers

We may share information with vendors who help us operate our services (for example, hosting, analytics, communications tools). These vendors process information on our behalf.

D) Legal and safety

We may share information if reasonably necessary to comply with law, protect rights and safety, prevent fraud, or respond to lawful requests.

E) Business transfers

If Retrogram Music LLC is involved in a merger, acquisition, restructuring, or sale, information may be transferred as part of that transaction.

7) Your choices and controls

A) Providing information is optional

You can use parts of the experience without submitting contact info. If you do not want us to receive information, do not submit it.

B) Marketing and communications

If we send you emails, you can opt out of marketing messages by using an unsubscribe link (when provided) or by contacting us.

C) Deletion requests

To request deletion of your information, email [email protected] from the address you provided (or include enough details for us to locate your record). We may retain limited information as required for legal, security, or operational purposes.

8) Data retention

We retain information as long as reasonably necessary to:

• Provide the service you requested
• Maintain business and security records
• Comply with legal obligations
• Resolve disputes and enforce policies

9) Security

We use reasonable safeguards designed to protect information. No system is perfectly secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

10) International users

If you access the service from outside the country where we or our providers operate, your information may be processed in other jurisdictions with different data protection laws.

11) Children's privacy

Golden Threads is not intended for children under 13 (or the minimum age required by local law), and we do not knowingly collect information from children.

12) Changes to this Privacy Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. We will post updates on goldenthreads.me and revise the effective date.
