Privacy Policy

GPAA Gold Life (“we,” “us”) operates this site as an extension of the Gold Prospectors Association of America (GPAA) and the Lost Dutchman's Mining Association (LDMA). This policy describes how we collect, use, and share information when you browse or purchase through this storefront.

Information we collect

Information you provide: name, email, phone, shipping and billing address, and payment details when you place an order or contact us.
Order and device data: cart activity, checkout details, and technical data such as browser type, device identifiers, and IP address.
Cookies and similar technologies: used to run the site, remember your cart, measure performance, support secure checkout, remember a member referral code (mref) when you arrive from a GPAA member link so that referrer can be credited if you join, and (after you sign up for email) onsite activity with Klaviyo so we can send relevant updates.

We use information to:

Process and fulfill orders, memberships, and current promotional offers.
Provide customer support and respond to inquiries.
Improve the site, prevent fraud, and meet legal obligations.
Send transactional messages about your order or account when needed.

Checkout and payment processing may be provided by Shopify or other service providers. Their use of data is governed by their respective policies. We do not store full payment card numbers on our servers when processing is handled by a certified provider.

Sharing

We may share information with service providers who assist with hosting, payments, shipping, analytics, and email; with GPAA/LDMA affiliates as needed to deliver membership benefits; and when required by law or to protect rights and safety.
