Bright Business – Privacy Policy

Last Updated: 1 January 2026

This Privacy Policy describes how Bright Business
(“Bright Business,” “Company,”
“we,” “us,” or “our”)
collects, uses, shares, and protects personal information in connection with:

Your use of the Bright Business website at
https://gobrightbusiness.com
and any related sites or pages we control (the “Website”);
Your Bright Business membership (your “Membership”), including access to member‑only content, communities, and services; and
Any other online or offline interaction you have with us that links to this Privacy Policy.

This Privacy Policy is incorporated into and forms part of our
Terms of Use (the “Terms”), and together
they constitute the entire agreement between you and us regarding the
Website and your Membership.

If you do not agree with this Privacy Policy or our Terms of Use, you must
not use the Website or register as a Bright Business member.

1. Relationship to the Terms of Use

Your use of the Website and any Bright Business Membership is governed by:

Our Terms of Use, and
This Privacy Policy.

The Terms control contractual matters, including:

Eligibility and membership conditions
Intellectual property
Community rules, User Contributions, and Content Standards
Disclaimers of warranties
Limitations of liability
Indemnification
Governing law, jurisdiction, and any arbitration provisions

This Privacy Policy controls how we collect, use, share, and protect personal
information, subject to applicable law.

If there is any inconsistency between this Privacy Policy and the Terms with
respect to contractual rights, disclaimers, or limitations, the
Terms of Use prevail. If there is any inconsistency regarding
privacy or data handling, this Privacy Policy controls, but always within the
limits of applicable law.

2. Scope – What This Policy Covers

This Privacy Policy applies to personal information we collect:

From you when you visit or use the Website;
When you apply for, purchase, or maintain a Membership;
When you participate in Interactive Services (e.g., message boards, chat, forums) and other member‑only areas;
When you communicate with us by email, form, or other channels; and
When we provide services or content that link or refer to this Privacy Policy.

This Privacy Policy does not apply to:

Third‑party websites, apps, or services that we do not control, even if linked from the Website; or
Private contracts or business dealings between Members or between you and third parties, even if you met through Bright Business.

Those relationships are governed by your own agreements and our
Terms of Use, not by this Privacy Policy.

Usage data
Pages viewed, links clicked, session duration, navigation paths, referring URLs.
Log and diagnostic data
Errors, performance metrics, and similar data used to maintain and improve the Website.
Cookies and similar technologies
As described in Section 8 below.

3.3 Information from Third Parties

We may receive information about you from:

Service providers such as payment processors, CRMs, email and marketing platforms, event and webinar platforms, and analytics providers;
Advertising and tracking partners, where permitted by law;
Social media platforms you use to log in or interact with our content; and
Public or professional sources, such as publicly available profiles, where relevant to our relationship with you.

We treat this information in accordance with this Privacy Policy and
applicable law.

4. How We Use Your Information

We use your information for the following purposes, relying on legal bases
such as contract performance, legitimate interests, legal obligations, and,
where required, your consent:

To provide and manage the Website and Membership
Create and maintain your account; provide access to member‑only content,
services, and Interactive Services; process membership fees and other
payments; provide customer support and respond to inquiries.
To personalize your experience
Recommend relevant content, events, or opportunities; tailor
communications and offerings to your interests and activity.
To communicate with you
Send transactional messages (e.g., confirmations, billing notices, service
updates); send marketing communications where permitted, with the ability
to opt out; inform you of changes to our Terms of Use or this Privacy
Policy.
To improve our services and develop new offerings
Analyze usage to understand what works and what does not; develop and
test new content, services, or features; conduct surveys, polls, and
research.
To maintain safety, security, and legal compliance
Monitor the Website for abuse, violations of the Terms, or security
issues; detect, prevent, and address fraud, misuse, or other harmful
activity; comply with legal and regulatory requirements and respond to
lawful requests.

Where required by law, we will seek your consent before using your personal
information for certain purposes (for example, non‑essential cookies or
specific marketing activities).

5. How We Use AI and Automated Tools

We use artificial intelligence and other automated tools to enhance, not
replace, the human experience. AI‑related uses may include:

Suggesting content, events, or resources that are likely to be relevant to you;
Assisting with summarizing or organizing information within the Website;
Supporting internal analytics to understand engagement and improve member experience;
Assisting in detecting spam or content that may violate the Content Standards in the Terms of Use.

We do not knowingly use your identifiable personal information to train
public, general‑purpose AI models in a way that would allow those models to
reveal your personal data to other customers of those tools.

Where we rely on third‑party AI or automation providers:

We seek contractual terms that limit their use of your data to providing services to Bright Business; and
We do not authorize them to use your identifiable personal data for their own independent training purposes without your explicit consent.

We do not currently make decisions with significant legal or similar effects
on you solely through automated means, without a possibility of human
review where required by law. If this changes, we will update this Privacy
Policy and, where necessary, obtain any required consent.

6. Member‑to‑Member Interactions and Business Dealings

Bright Business is a community where members may discover, communicate, and
sometimes do business with each other. It is critical to be clear:

We are not a party to your contracts with others
Bright Business is not a party to any agreement you may enter into with other members or third parties, even if you meet through the Website or Membership.
We do not control or guarantee other members
We do not control, endorse, or guarantee any member’s promises, services, professional qualifications, or financial condition. As stated in the Terms of Use, members are responsible for maintaining and truthfully representing any required licenses, certifications, or credentials.
You must perform your own due diligence
You are solely responsible for investigating, negotiating, and documenting your relationships with other members or third parties. You should use your own contracts and advisors.
Disputes between members
We are not obligated to mediate, arbitrate, or resolve disputes between members, though we may, at our discretion, take community‑level actions (for example, suspending or terminating a Membership) to protect the integrity of the Website. These community actions are governed by the Terms of Use and do not create additional duties.
Release of claims (as to member‑to‑member dealings)
To the maximum extent permitted by law, you agree not to hold Bright Business or its owners, officers, employees, or contractors responsible for losses or disputes arising from your separate dealings with other members or third parties. This is consistent with, and reinforced by, the disclaimers, limitation of liability, and indemnification provisions in the Terms of Use.

7. How We Share Your Information

We may share your information as follows:

7.1 Service Providers

We share information with vendors who perform services on our behalf, such as:

Payment processors;
Hosting and infrastructure providers;
Email and marketing platforms;
CRM and analytics providers;
Event and webinar platforms;
AI and automation tools.

These providers are contractually obligated to use your information only to
provide services to us and to protect it appropriately.

7.2 Event Partners and Collaborators

In connection with specific events, programs, or collaborations, we may share limited
information (such as your name and affiliation) with co‑hosts, speakers, or partners, when
necessary to operate the event or provide follow‑up resources.

7.3 Other Members (Through Your Actions)

Information you choose to include in your User Contributions, public profile, or within
Interactive Services may be visible to other members or users, as described in the Terms of
Use. You should not post information you consider sensitive or confidential.

We may disclose information if we believe it is necessary to:

Comply with a law, regulation, legal process, or governmental request;
Enforce our Terms of Use or other agreements;
Protect the rights, property, or safety of Bright Business, our members, or the public.

7.5 Business Transfers

If we undergo a merger, acquisition, reorganization, or sale of assets, your information may
be transferred as part of that transaction. Any successor will be required to handle your
personal information consistently with this Privacy Policy or provide you notice and choices
as required by law.

We do not sell your personal information as a standalone data product. Where certain
advertising or data uses could be treated as a “sale” or “share” under specific laws, we will
comply with those laws’ notice and opt‑out requirements.

8. Cookies and Similar Technologies

We use cookies, pixel tags, and similar technologies to:

Keep you logged in and remember your preferences;
Analyze how the Website is used;
Improve performance and user experience;
In some cases, support advertising or retargeting where allowed by law.

You can manage cookies through:

Your browser settings (blocking or deleting cookies);
Any cookie consent or preference tools we provide;
Certain platform‑specific privacy settings where applicable.

If you disable cookies, some parts of the Website may not function properly.

9. International Transfers

The Website is operated from the State of California, United States, as
reflected in the Terms of Use. Your information may be processed and stored in the United
States and other countries that may have different data protection laws than your country.

Where required by law, we use appropriate safeguards (such as contractual clauses) to
protect personal information transferred across borders.

10. Data Retention

We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to:

Provide the Website and Membership;
Maintain your account;
Comply with legal, tax, and accounting obligations;

When personal information is no longer needed, we will delete, anonymize, or securely
archive it, in accordance with our legal obligations and internal policies.

11. Security

We use reasonable technical, organizational, and administrative measures to protect personal
information within our organization, such as:

Encryption where appropriate;
Access controls and authentication;
Vendor and system security reviews.

No method of transmission or storage is perfectly secure. As stated in the Terms of Use, your
use of the Website is at your own risk, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. If we
become aware of a data incident that poses a significant risk to you, we will notify you and
any applicable authorities as required by law.

12. Your Rights and Choices

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have rights such as:

Access – to request a copy of personal information we hold about you;
Correction – to ask us to correct inaccurate or incomplete information;
Deletion – to request deletion of certain personal information, subject to legal exceptions;
Restriction – to request that we limit certain processing activities;
Portability – to receive certain data in a machine‑readable format;
Objection – to object to certain processing, especially where based on legitimate interests or for direct marketing;
Withdraw consent – where processing is based on consent, you can withdraw it at any time.

You may also:

Unsubscribe from marketing emails at any time by clicking the “unsubscribe” link in those emails; and
Adjust cookie preferences where we provide controls.

We may need to verify your identity before fulfilling certain requests and may decline
requests that are unlawful or not required by law.

Residents of some jurisdictions (for example, the EU/EEA, UK, or certain U.S. states) may
have additional rights or avenues to lodge complaints with data protection authorities.
Nothing in this Privacy Policy is intended to limit rights granted to you by applicable law.

13. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in:

Our services or technology;
Applicable laws and regulations; or
Our business needs.

When we make material changes, we will update the “Last Updated” date above and may
provide additional notice (for example, on the Website or by email), where appropriate or
required by law.

Your continued use of the Website or Membership after changes take effect means you
accept the updated Privacy Policy.
