If sensitive information is required for a legitimate business purpose, Goldsmith Enterprises LLC may provide a more appropriate method of transmission.

4. Information Collected Automatically

When you visit the website, certain information may be collected automatically by the website platform and authorized service providers.

Depending on the website configuration, this information may include:

• Internet Protocol address.
• Browser type.
• Device type.
• Operating system.
• Screen or device characteristics.
• Approximate geographic location derived from network information.
• Date and time of access.

• Cookie identifiers.
• Analytics information.
• Error or performance information.

This information may be used to operate, secure, analyze, and improve the website.

5. Wix Hosting

The GPS Inspect website is currently hosted using the Wix platform.

Wix and its service providers may process certain information necessary to host, secure, deliver, and analyze the website.

Information processed by Wix may also be subject to Wix's applicable privacy and technology policies.

Goldsmith Enterprises LLC does not control every technical process performed independently by Wix or another third-party provider.

6. Cookies and Similar Technologies

The website may use cookies, pixels, tags, local storage, analytics tools, and similar technologies.

These technologies may be used for purposes including:

Essential website functions: security, navigation, website operation, form functionality, and other features necessary for the site to operate.

Preferences and functionality: remembering certain visitor preferences or improving usability.

Analytics: understanding website traffic, visitor behavior, page performance, and how visitors interact with the site.

Marketing or advertising: measuring marketing effectiveness or supporting advertising functionality if such services are enabled.

Where required by applicable law, visitors may be provided with controls allowing them to accept, reject, or manage nonessential cookies.

8. Communications, SMS and Text Messaging

If you submit an inquiry, Goldsmith Enterprises LLC may respond by telephone, email, text message, or another communication method you provide, as permitted by applicable law.

Submitting a request for inspection, training, consultation, quotation, scheduling, customer service, or other information allows us to contact you regarding that specific request.

Where required by law, promotional or marketing communications are handled separately from transactional, service-related, or inquiry-related communications.​​

​If you voluntarily opt in to receive SMS or text messages from Goldsmith Enterprises LLC through GPS Inspect or GPS Inspect Academy, we may use the mobile telephone number you provide to send messages related to the messaging program for which you enrolled.

Depending on the consent provided, messages may include inspection inquiries, quotations, appointment or scheduling information, inspection-related communications, training information, customer-service communications, service updates, and promotional or marketing messages.

Message frequency may vary. Message and data rates may apply.

You may opt out of SMS messages at any time by replying STOP to a message. You may reply HELP for assistance or contact GPS Inspect at 520-510-0433 or legal@gpsinspect.com.

Consent to receive marketing or promotional text messages is not a condition of purchasing or receiving any inspection, assessment, training program, software product, consultation, or other GPS Inspect service.

9. Website Forms and SMS Consent

Website forms may allow users to provide a telephone number for purposes such as requesting information, receiving a quotation, scheduling or coordinating services, or requesting customer support.

Providing a telephone number as part of an ordinary inquiry does not, by itself, constitute consent to receive promotional or marketing text messages.

Where GPS Inspect offers SMS enrollment through a website form, any marketing SMS consent will be presented separately from the general website submission and will require an affirmative action by the user, such as selecting an unchecked consent box.

SMS consent is specific to the messaging program, purpose, and sender identified at the time consent is obtained.

Goldsmith Enterprises LLC may maintain records reasonably necessary to document SMS consent, including the telephone number, date and time of consent, source or form used, consent language presented, and subsequent opt-out activity.

10. How Information May Be Disclosed

Goldsmith Enterprises LLC may disclose personal information when reasonably necessary to organizations or individuals that assist with legitimate business operations, including:

• Website hosting providers.
• Wix.
• Email providers.
• Telephone or communications providers.
• Scheduling systems.
• Customer-management systems.
• Information-technology providers.
• Cybersecurity providers.
• Website analytics providers.
• Payment processors if payment functionality is implemented.
• Accounting professionals.
• Attorneys.
• Insurance professionals.
• Inspectors or contractors assigned to a requested project.
• Training instructors or administrative personnel when necessary for a training inquiry or enrollment.
• Government agencies when disclosure is legally required.
• Law-enforcement authorities where required by valid legal process.
• Other parties when reasonably necessary to protect rights, safety, property, or prevent fraud.

Third-party service providers may receive only the information reasonably necessary for the services they perform, subject to applicable agreements and law.

SMS and mobile-information limitation: Notwithstanding the disclosures described above, mobile telephone numbers, SMS opt-in data, and text-messaging consent will not be sold, rented, or shared with third parties, affiliates, lead generators, or other organizations for their own marketing or promotional purposes.

We may provide mobile information to communications vendors, technology providers, customer-management systems, and other service providers only as reasonably necessary to operate the messaging program, deliver requested communications, maintain records, provide technical support, or comply with legal obligations.

11. Business Transactions

If Goldsmith Enterprises LLC undergoes a merger, acquisition, restructuring, financing, asset sale, transfer of business operations, or similar transaction, information associated with the affected business may be transferred as part of that transaction, subject to applicable law.

12. Sale or Sharing of Personal Information

Goldsmith Enterprises LLC does not intend to sell personal information for monetary consideration.

However, some privacy laws define “sale” or “sharing” more broadly than an ordinary monetary sale.

For example, certain advertising, analytics, cross-context behavioral advertising, or tracking technologies may be considered a sale or sharing under applicable privacy law even if no money is exchanged.

If technology used on the GPS Inspect website creates a legal obligation to provide a “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” or similar privacy choice, Goldsmith Enterprises LLC intends to provide the required mechanism.

For avoidance of doubt, any broader discussion in this Privacy Policy concerning the sale, sharing, disclosure, advertising use, analytics use, business transfer, or third-party processing of personal information does not mean that SMS opt-in data or text-messaging consent will be sold or shared with third parties or affiliates for their own marketing or promotional purposes.

13. Website Analytics and Advertising Tools

The website may use analytics or marketing tools now or in the future.

These could include services such as website analytics, advertising measurement, social-media integrations, embedded videos, maps, chat tools, or other third-party technologies.

The exact Privacy Policy and cookie settings should be reviewed whenever new technologies are added.

Goldsmith Enterprises LLC should periodically review its Wix dashboard and connected applications to confirm that this Privacy Policy accurately describes the technologies actually in use.

14. Data Retention

Goldsmith Enterprises LLC may retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to accomplish the purpose for which it was collected and for legitimate business or legal purposes.

Relevant factors may include:

• Whether an inquiry remains active.
• Whether an inspection or training relationship was established.
• Contractual requirements.
• Insurance requirements.
• Accounting requirements.
• Tax requirements.
• Record-retention requirements.
• Legal or regulatory obligations.
• Dispute-resolution needs.
• Fraud-prevention and security needs.

Different categories of information may be retained for different periods.

Information that no longer needs to be retained may be deleted, anonymized, or securely disposed of when reasonably practical.

15. Security

Goldsmith Enterprises LLC uses reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures intended to protect personal information.

However, no internet transmission, website, email system, database, cloud service, or electronic-storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Users should therefore exercise care when transmitting personal information electronically.

16. Your Privacy Choices

Depending on your state or country of residence and the laws applicable to Goldsmith Enterprises LLC, you may have rights concerning your personal information.

These may include the right to:

• Request access to personal information.
• Request correction of inaccurate personal information.
• Request deletion of certain personal information.
• Obtain information about categories of personal information collected.
• Obtain information about categories of third parties to whom information has been disclosed.
• Opt out of certain sales or sharing of personal information.
• Limit certain uses of sensitive personal information when applicable.
• Withdraw certain consent.
• Opt out of marketing communications.
• Exercise legally protected privacy rights without unlawful discrimination.

Not every right applies in every jurisdiction or circumstance.

17. California Privacy

GPS Inspect markets services in California, and California residents may have additional privacy rights under applicable California law.

Depending on Goldsmith Enterprises LLC's size, annual revenue, business activities, amount of personal information processed, and other statutory requirements, certain provisions of the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act, may apply.

Where applicable, California residents may have rights that include:

• The right to know what personal information is collected.
• The right to request access to certain personal information.
• The right to request deletion.
• The right to request correction.
• The right to know categories of information disclosed, sold, or shared.
• The right to opt out of certain sales or sharing.
• The right to limit certain uses of sensitive personal information.
• The right not to receive unlawful discriminatory treatment for exercising privacy rights.

If Goldsmith Enterprises LLC becomes subject to requirements calling for a Notice at Collection, Your Privacy Choices, Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information, or similar mechanism, the appropriate disclosure and controls should be added to the website.

18. Other State Privacy Laws

Because GPS Inspect may serve customers and students in multiple states, additional state privacy laws may become applicable as business operations grow.

Goldsmith Enterprises LLC may update this Privacy Policy and related privacy controls to reflect changes in law, business size, geographic operations, website technology, and data-processing activities.

19. Children's Privacy

The GPS Inspect website and GPS Inspect Academy are intended primarily for adults, business customers, property professionals, inspectors, and individuals seeking professional training.

Goldsmith Enterprises LLC does not knowingly seek personal information from children under 13 through the general website.

If we learn that personal information from a child under 13 has been submitted without appropriate authorization, we will take reasonable steps to delete it when required.

20. Third-Party Websites

The GPS Inspect website may contain links to websites or services controlled by other organizations.

Goldsmith Enterprises LLC is not responsible for the privacy, security, accessibility, or data-processing practices of third-party websites.

Visitors should review the privacy policies of third-party services before submitting information to them.

21. External Platforms and Social Media

GPS Inspect or GPS Inspect Academy may maintain profiles or publish content on third-party platforms such as social-media sites, video platforms, professional networking services, or other online services.

Information submitted directly to those platforms is also subject to the privacy terms established by the platform operator.

22. International Visitors

The GPS Inspect website may be accessible outside the United States.

GPS Inspect services and training are primarily directed toward the United States unless otherwise stated.

Visitors located outside the United States should understand that information submitted to Goldsmith Enterprises LLC may be processed or stored in the United States or other locations used by our service providers.

Additional rights may apply under the laws of the visitor's jurisdiction.

23. Changes to This Privacy Policy

Goldsmith Enterprises LLC may modify this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in:

• Website functionality.
• Business operations.
• Services.
• Training programs.
• Technology.
• Vendors.
• Legal requirements.

The effective date at the beginning of the Privacy Policy identifies the current version.

Material changes may be communicated through the website or another reasonable method when required.

Please clearly indicate that the communication concerns a Privacy Request.
