A
special note about children
Children are not eligible to use our services and we ask that minors
under the age of 18 do not submit any personal information to us.
Although this Policy may seem long, we have prepared a detailed Policy
because we believe you should know as much as possible about Bright
Credit practices so that you can make an informed decision. Bright
Credit reserves
the right to modify, amend or otherwise alter the terms of this Privacy
Policy at any time, and without notice. All

Privacy Philosophy
Bright Credit.com believes that online privacy is crucial
for the ongoing success of the Internet as a service, commercial and
entertainment medium.
We collect personal information from you in order to provide you with
information about our services. In registering for certain services
offered by Bright Credit you may be asked to provide your name, mailing
address,
e-mail address, zip code, telephone number and other personal information
about you. We request this information from you so that we can provide
you with the personalized service necessary to meet our goal of making
our sites and our business a valuable service to you! However, unless
you designate otherwise, the personal information you provide will
be known only to you and to Bright Credit. It will always be your choice
to provide this information to Bright Credit affiliates. If others
want
this information, including your name or your email address, we will
provide it only if you give us permission to do so.
Information We Collect
Information gathered online can generally be categorized as either
anonymous or personally identifiable. Anonymous information is information
that
cannot be traced back to a specific individual. For example, Bright
Credit knows how many web surfers have visited our sites on a given
day, but
we do not know the names, e-mail addresses or gender of the people
visiting us.
Personally identifiable information is information you provide that
lets us know specific facts about you so that we can deliver to you
a specific
service or product you have requested. This information can include
your name, telephone number, address, zip code, etc.
Gathering and Use of Personally Identifiable Information
Our Web site
uses an input form for clients and potential clients to request information
about our services. To make a request, individuals
are required to provide their contact information and personal information
about their finances (“Personal Information”).
Any information that you send to us may be collected and maintained
in a file specific to you. Please note that unique identifiers, such
as
social security numbers, may be used as account numbers in our internal
record system.
The Personal Information that is collected is used to help
determine your suitability for our services and to customize your experience
in
the event that you are accepted into our program.
Your Personal Information
is also used for the purposes of providing debt services and is used
to get in touch with the client, when necessary.
The client may be contacted via telephone, U.S. Mail, or e-mail in
the future to notify the client of new services that we think they may
be
interested in. We may use Personal Information collected in order to
send you information about our services, to fulfill your requests,
to perform internal research,
to respond to your inquiries or to contact you when necessary.
Your Personal
Information may also be used along with information collected from
our other users to create various forms of statistical data. Such
statistical data, which generally does not contain information that
is identifiable to any individual user, may be shared with our partners,
employees, third party vendors, independent contractors, and affiliates.
Third
party vendors or independent contractors engaged by this company may
have access to your Personal Information in order to perform their
services. Under no circumstances will any said third party vendor
or independent contractor be permitted to use your Personal Information
for any other purpose but to assist us with our business. We require
all third party vendors or independent contractors engaged by this
company to comply with our Privacy Policy, maintain the confidentiality
of your
Personal Information and to comply with applicable federal and state
laws.
Please note that we reserve the right to disclose Personal Information
for legal purposes, for the protection of this web site, for the protection
of Bright Credit (or any of its partners, employees, third party vendors,
independent contractors or affiliates) and/or for the protection of
other users of our web site. Specifically, we reserve the right to disclose
Personal Information as allowed by law or share your Personal Information
with third parties if required by law to do so, or if we believe such
action is necessary to either: (a) conform with the requirements of
the
law or to comply with legal process served upon us, (b) protect or
defend our legal rights or property, this web site, or other users of
this web
site, or (c) investigate, prevent or take action regarding illegal
activities, suspected fraud, or situations involving potential threats
to the physical
safety of any person.
We agree to be bound by all principles of confidentiality
as required by law. However, due to the existing regulatory environment,
we cannot
ensure that all of your private communications and Personal Information
will never be disclosed in ways not otherwise described in this Privacy
Policy. By way of example (without limiting the foregoing), we may
be forced to disclose information to the government or third parties
under
certain circumstances, or third parties may unlawfully intercept or
access transmissions or private communications. We can (and you authorize
us
to) disclose any information about you to law enforcement or other
government officials as we, in our sole discretion, believe necessary
or appropriate,
in connection with an investigation of fraud, intellectual property
infringements, or other activity that is illegal or may expose us to
legal liability.
Therefore, although we use industry standard practices to protect your
privacy, we do not promise, and you should not expect, that your Personal
Information or private communications will remain private.
Gathering
and Use of Anonymous Information
Each time a visitor comes to an Bright Credit Web site, we collect
some information from the visit to improve the overall quality of the
online
experience, including product and service monitoring, product and service
improvement, and targeted advertising. At the Bright Credit Web sites,
we collect the visitor's domain name (e.g. whether the user is logged
on from aol.com or cerfnet.net), referral data (e.g., we record the
address of the last URL a user visited prior to clicking through to
an Bright
Credit Web site), and browser and platform type (e.g., an Internet
explorer browser on a NT platform).
In addition to collecting these types of information, Bright Credit
collects aggregate queries for internal reporting and targeted advertising.
We also count, track, and aggregate the visitor's activity into our analysis
of general traffic flows at our sites (e.g. tracking where traffic comes
from, how traffic flows within the Bright Credit properties, etc.). To
these ends, we may merge information about you into group data, which
may then be shared on an aggregated basis with our advertisers; but Bright
Credit will not disclose your individual identity or personal data without
your permission. When Bright Credit does present aggregated information
to outside companies, no one will be able to identify or contact you.
When appropriate, users will be given the opportunity to receive information
from third-party organizations in connection with services or events
offered by Bright Credit. This option may be made available through a
Bright Credit Web site registration and/or through registration processes
maintained by a participating third party. In all cases, you will be
informed before you register for the event or service that a third party
will be receiving the registration information you provide and you will
have the option not to participate in any service or event that requires
third party involvement.
Use Of Bright Credit Cookies
Bright Credit Web sites use cookies to track traffic flow and patterns
of travel within and through the sites. Cookies are a standard Internet
technology that allow us to both store and retrieve login information
on a user's system. Our Web server automatically asks a new user whether
his or her browser will agree to accept a Bright Credit cookie file.
If a visitor accepts, our Web server will identify the user's cookie
for Bright Credit’s use in internal reporting. If a user accepts
a Bright Credit cookie, but would later like to remove it from his
or her computer, he or she can just remove it from their browser.
Demographic
Information
When we do present information to our advertisers, it is in the form
of grouped statistics compiled from our users' answers to survey
questions and on-site behavior. Bright Credit will not disclose the
contact or
demographic information of any individual user to advertisers or
any other outside organization without the express permission of
the individual
BRIGHT CREDIT Promise
Information is the cornerstone of our ability to provide superior
service. Our most important asset is our clients' trust. Keeping
client information
secure, and using it only as our clients would want us to, is a top
priority for all of us at Bright Credit. This is our promise to you:
We will safeguard,
according to strict standards of security and confidentiality,
any information our clients share with us.
We will limit the collection and
use of client information to the minimum we require to deliver
superior service to our clients, which
includes
advising our clients about our services and other opportunities,
and to administer our business.
We will permit only authorized employees,
who are trained in the proper handling of client information, to
have access to that information.
We will not reveal client information
to any external organization unless we have previously informed
the client in disclosures or
agreements, been authorized by the client, or are required by
law.
We will not use or share personal information for any purpose other
than the underwriting or administration of a client's account
or
file, or as disclosed to the client when the information
is collected, or
to which the client consents.
We will attempt to keep client
files complete, up to date, and accurate.
We will continuously assess
ourselves to ensure that client privacy is respected.
Security
This site has security measures in place to protect the loss,
misuse and alteration of the information under our control.
Bright Credit
uses industry standard efforts to safeguard the confidentiality
of your personal
identifiable information, such as firewalls and Secure
Socket Layers. However, "perfect security" does not exist
on the Internet.
