Protecting your
privacy is important to us.
This privacy policy will advise you about how we collect, use and safeguard your
personal information, and about what choices you have concerning our use of such
information. Please read this policy carefully. We may need to change this
policy from time to time in order to address new issues and reflect changes on these sites. We will post those changes here so that you will always know
what information we gather, how we might use that information, and whether we
will disclose that information to anyone. Please refer back to this policy
regularly.
Scope of Privacy Policy
This policy applies to your use of all of the sites and services owned or
operated by brilliant-web.com (collectively "Brilliant-Web,
" or "we," "us," or "our"). Unless we say
otherwise, all references to the Brilliant-Web Sites in this policy includes all
such sites. This policy does not apply to your use of unaffiliated sites to
which any of the Brilliant-Web Sites only links.
Information Collection
When you browse Brilliant-Web Sites, you do so anonymously. Personal information
-- including your E-mail address -- is not collected. Your IP address (the
Internet address of your computer) is logged to give us an idea of which parts
of our web site you are visiting and how long you are spending there. We do not
link your IP address to anything personally identifiable. The only other
information automatically provided to us is the type of computer and operating
system you are using. This information is supplied to us by your browser. There
are times that we may request that you voluntarily supply us with personal
information, including your E-mail address and possibly your postal address, for
purposes such as correspondence, site registration, making a purchase,
registering for a new product, or participating in an online survey.
We may share this aggregate statistical information with our partners, suppliers
and other third parties, but we will not share any individual names, personal
navigational or other personal information. Some of our advertisers may display
ads on our sites which solicit or contain technology to collect information
about our users for the advertisers, but we will not permit such advertisers to
collect any personal information from our users within our sites.
Like many other commercial web sites, Brilliant-Web Sites may utilize a standard
technology called a "cookie" to collect information about how the site
is used. Most browsers are set to accept cookies. You can set your browser to
refuse cookies, or to alert you when cookies are being sent. If you do so,
please note that some parts of the Sites, such as message boards, chats,
shopping, contests and game areas, may not function properly.
Personal Identification Information
We will never intentionally disclose any information about you as an individual
user (such as, for example, your full name, street address, telephone number,
credit card number or e-mail address) to any third party without having received
your permission. We may request personal identification information from you in
connection with your use of, or participation in, our contests, games, surveys,
forums, subscription registrations, content submissions, chats, bulletin boards,
discussion groups, requests for suggestions, visitors' requests for free
products or services or additional information, and in connection with other
activities, services or resources we make available on any of our sites. In all
of these cases, we will collect personal information from you only if you
voluntarily submit such information to us.
If you do provide us with personal information, we may use this to, for example,
provide a service, measure consumer interest in our various services, and inform
you about new products and services. These offers may be based on information
you provided in your initial transaction with us, in surveys, or from
information that may indicate purchasing preferences and lifestyle.
If you identify yourself to us by sending us an e-mail with questions or
comments, we may use your personal information to respond to your questions or
comments. We may file your comments for future reference, or we may discard the
information after we have reviewed it.
If you give us your permission, we may also use personal identification
information for internal or external marketing and promotional purposes. On
occasion, for example, we may send you e-mails to introduce a product or service
that we think might be of interest to the users of our sites. We will give you
an easy means to accept, decline or discontinue receiving E-mail offers even
after you have provided personal information. All E-mail offers that you receive
from Brilliant-Web will inform you of how to discontinue or decline receiving
further E-mail offers. Please note, however, that under certain circumstances,
if you initially do not choose to accept the E-mail offer or if you later choose
to discontinue, you may not be eligible for certain benefits for which a name,
e-mail address, telephone number or other personal identification information is
needed.
We have the following exceptions to these policies: We will release specific
information about you or your account to comply with any valid legal process
such as a search warrant, subpoena, statute or court order. We will also release
specific information in special cases, such as if there is an attempted breach
of the security of Brilliant-Web, or a physical threat to you or others.
Please note that if you give out personal information online -- for example,
through a message board or chat room -- that information can be collected and
used by third parties. Although we strive to protect our users' privacy, we
cannot guarantee the security of information you post in these forums. You
disclose such information at your own risk.
Privacy of Children
While Brilliant-Web does market to children in the course of sending messages to
our visitors, we do not solicit data from them. Brilliant-Web encourages parents
and guardians to spend time online with their children, to participate in the
interactive activities offered on the sites their children visit, and to teach
their children about protecting their personal information while online. No
information should be submitted to, or posted at, Brilliant-Web Sites by guests
under 18 years of age without the consent of their parent or guardian.
Links To Other Sites
Users will find advertising or other contents on our sites that link to the
sites and services of our partners, suppliers, advertisers, sponsors, licensors
and other third parties. In many cases, the links represent cooperative projects
or are mutual links established with persons or entities connected with our
sites. Although we initially visit the sites or services that are so linked, we
do not control the contents or links that appear on these sites. In addition,
these sites or services, including their contents and links, may be constantly
changing. These sites and services may have their own privacy policies, or no
policy at all. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third
party sites or services before providing any of them with your personal
information.
Security Policy
Protecting your privacy and your information is a top priority. We have taken
careful measures to secure both your information and our physical premises. We
exercise great care in providing secure transmission of your information from
your PC to our servers. Our secure server software encrypts information,
ensuring that all Internet transactions remain private (unless sent by an
unsecured means, such as e-mail).
