Privacy Policy
BrightPlugins.com websites (collectively "BrightPlugins.com" in this document) refer to sites owned and operated by Bright Vessel, LLC. This privacy policy describes how BrightPlugins.com uses and protects any information that you give us. We are committed to ensuring that your privacy is protected. If you provide us with personal information through BrightPlugins.com, you can be assured that it will only be used in accordance with this privacy statement.
Website visitors
Like most website operators, BrightPlugins.com collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. Our purpose in collecting this information is to better understand how visitors use the website. From time to time, BrightPlugins.com may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, for example by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.
BrightPlugins.com also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses. We do not use IP addresses to identify visitors and do not disclose such information, other than under the same circumstances that we use and disclose personally-identifying information, as described below.
Gathering of personally-identifying information
Certain visitors choose to interact with BrightPlugins.com in ways that require us to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information gathered depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, we ask visitors who use our forums to provide a username and email address.
In each case, we collect such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor's interaction with BrightPlugins.com. We do not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below. Visitors can always refuse to supply personally-identifying information, with the caveat that it may prevent them from engaging in certain website-related activities.
All of the information that is collected on BrightPlugins.com will be handled in accordance with GDPR legislation.
Protection of certain personally-identifying information
BrightPlugins.com discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only to those project administrators, employees, contractors, and affiliated organizations that (i) need to know that information in order to process it on our behalf or to provide services available through BrightPlugins.com, and (ii) have agreed not to disclose it to others. Some of those employees, contractors, and affiliated organizations may be located outside of your home country; by using BrightPlugins.com, you consent to the transfer of such information to them.
BrightPlugins.com will not rent or sell potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information to anyone. Other than as described above, we disclose such information only when required to do so by law, if you give permission to have your information shared, or when we believe in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of BrightPlugins.com, third parties, or the public at large.
If you are a registered user and have supplied your email address, we may occasionally send you an email to tell you about new features, solicit your feedback, or keep you up to date with what is going on with BrightPlugins.com and our products. We primarily use our blog to communicate this type of information, so we expect to keep this type of email to a minimum.
If you send us a request (for example via a support email or a feedback mechanism), we reserve the right to publish it in order to help us clarify or respond to your request or to help us support other users. BrightPlugins.com takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration, or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.
