This Privacy Policy describes how Golden Communications Inc., through its Sunset 17 TV & Podcasts division, collects, uses, discloses, and protects personal information when you visit Sunset17.com, inquire about our services, book studio time, participate in productions, or otherwise interact with us.

Comments

When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.

An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.

Media

If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.

Cookies

If you leave a comment on our site you may opt-in to saving your name, email address and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.

If you visit our login page, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser. When you log in, we will also set up several cookies to save your login information and your screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me”, your login will persist for two weeks. If you log out of your account, the login cookies will be removed.

If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie includes no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you just edited. It expires after 1 day.

We use Google Analytics and similar tools to understand how visitors use our website, including tools that may identify the company a visitor is browsing from. We also use advertising tools from Google, Meta, LinkedIn, Microsoft and Vibe to measure and improve our ads. These services may set cookies or similar technologies in your browser. You can manage your choices through our cookie banner or your browser settings.

Embedded content from other websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.

These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

Quote requests

This section covers quote requests made on our website’s podcast quote generator and through the Sunset 17 app in AI assistants such as ChatGPT and Claude.

What we collect

When you send us a quote request, we receive:

• your name and email address;
• your phone number and comments, if you choose to give them;
• whether you’d like us to contact you;
• the options you chose (studio hours, third camera, vertical shorts, branded posters) and the quoted total.

When you send the request from our website, we also record your IP address, the page you came from, the page you were on, and any campaign tags (UTM parameters) in the link you followed.

When you use the Sunset 17 app in an AI assistant:

• We receive only the details you enter in the quote form or agree to share. We don’t receive your conversation with the assistant.
• The request reaches us from the assistant’s servers, so we don’t see your device’s IP address.
• Asking the app about prices without sending a quote request doesn’t give us any personal information.

How we use it

We use these details to respond to your quote request, to contact you about your booking if you asked us to, and to send you a confirmation email. We don’t add you to marketing emails because you requested a quote.

Who receives it

• The Sunset 17 team members who handle quotes and bookings.
• Service providers that run our website and deliver our email, only to provide those services to us.
• If you use an AI assistant, that assistant’s provider (for example OpenAI or Anthropic) handles your conversation under its own privacy policy.

We don’t sell your personal information.

How long we keep it

We keep quote requests for 24 months after our last contact with you, then delete them, unless we need to keep them longer for legal or accounting reasons. Our servers’ technical logs are kept for about a week for security and troubleshooting.

Your choices

You can ask us to show you, correct or delete the information from your quote request. Contact us at privacy@sunset17.com or call 949-391-2312.

Who we share your data with

If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.

How long we retain your data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.

What rights you have over your data

If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

Where we send your data

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.

Changes to this policy

If we change this policy, we’ll post the new version on this page and update the date below.
