Privacy Practices
Consent for Identified Purposes
Personal information gathered by Bright Light Content is kept in confidence and is used only for the purposes stated at the time of collection. Where possible and appropriate, Bright Light Content will endeavour to obtain express consent and state our intended use of your personal information either orally, electronically or in writing; in some cases, implied consent will be assumed. In rare circumstances, such as detecting and preventing fraud, serious illness, or mental incapacitation, obtaining consent may be impossible or inappropriate. Bright Light Content will ensure that your reasonable expectations for using your personal information are respected, and you have the choice to withdraw your consent at any time.
Limited Collection, Use, Disclosure and Retention
Bright Light Content will limit our collection of personal information to that which is necessary to fulfill the purposes identified at the time of collection. If we would like to use your personal information for a reason other than its original purpose, we will contact you first to request permission. Your personal information will be appropriately disposed of as soon as the purpose for which it was collected is no longer relevant, except as required by law or other industry record keeping standards.
We may share your Personal Information with third parties who perform services for us or on our behalf for any legitimate purpose allowed under the applicable laws and regulations including for technical support or security purposes. If we disclose your Personal Information in this manner, the third-party recipients of your Personal Information will be bound by the terms of this policy.
