Does Bright Ink Lab Share Your Personal Information?

Information about our customers is an important part of our business and we do not sell our customers’ personal information to others. Bright Ink Lab shares customers’ personal information only as described below.

Third Party Service Providers:

We employ other companies and individuals to perform functions on our behalf. Examples include sending e-mail, providing marketing assistance, processing payments, transmitting content, scoring credit risk, and providing customer service. These third party service providers have access to personal information needed to perform their functions, but may not use it for other purposes. Further, they must process the personal information in accordance with this Privacy Policy and as permitted by applicable data protection laws.

Business Transfers:

As we continue to develop our business, we might sell or buy other services. In such transactions, customer information generally is one of the transferred business assets but remains subject to the promises made in any pre-existing Privacy Policy (unless, of course, the customer consents otherwise). Also, if Bright Ink Lab is acquired, customer information will of course be one of the transferred assets.

Protection of Bright Ink Lab and Others:

We release account and other personal information when we believe release is appropriate to comply with the law; enforce or apply our Conditions of Use and other agreements; or protect the rights, property, or safety of Bright Ink Lab, our users, or others. This includes exchanging information with other companies and organisations for fraud protection and credit risk reduction.

Other than as set out above, you will receive notice when personal information about you might be shared with third parties and you will have an opportunity to choose not to share the information.

How Secure is Information About You?
