Information we collect

We collect information you provide directly and information collected automatically. Information you provide may include name, email address, phone number, organization, and details you include when you contact us or register for a program. For subscribers we store email addresses to deliver newsletters and program updates. For program participants we may collect additional contextual information relevant to program delivery such as accessibility needs and scheduling preferences. We also collect certain technical information automatically, including IP address, device type, browser type, and pages visited, to support site operation and improve usability. When you submit forms, we validate required fields and keep only the data necessary to fulfill the requested service. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we discover that we have collected information from a child under 13 without parental consent we will delete it promptly.

How we use information

We use personal information to respond to inquiries, provide and improve programs, deliver newsletters, and process bookings. We may use contact information to send program confirmations, schedules, and administrative notices. Technical and usage data help us analyze and enhance site performance and accessibility. We do not sell personal information to third parties. On occasion we may aggregate data for reporting or research purposes so individual users cannot be identified. We may use contact details to provide transactional messages such as payment confirmations, receipts, and updates related to your engagement with Bright Pages. If you request that we delete your data, we will honor that request subject to legal or operational exceptions described below.

Cookies and tracking

Our website uses cookies and similar technologies to store user preferences, enable essential site features, and measure site usage. Cookies are small text files placed on your device. Some cookies are strictly necessary for the site to operate; others are functional or analytical to help us understand site usage and improve content. When you first visit the site a cookie consent control appears in the bottom-right corner so you can accept or reject non-essential cookies. You can manage cookie preferences in your browser settings at any time. If you reject non-essential cookies some features may be limited. We use lightweight analytics that respect user consent and do not collect personally identifying information without your explicit permission.

Third-party services

We use trusted third-party service providers to support email delivery, analytics, and hosting. These providers process data on our behalf and are contractually required to maintain appropriate protections. Examples include our hosting and email platforms. These services may collect limited technical information such as IP addresses or usage metrics to provide the service. We limit the information shared to what is necessary for the provider to perform its task. Links to third-party sites may appear in blog posts or resources; following those links takes you away from our site and will be subject to the privacy practices of the external site. We do not share personal information with advertisers or social networks for profiling without explicit consent.

Data retention and security

We retain personal information only as long as reasonably necessary to provide services, meet legal obligations, and resolve disputes. Retention periods vary by data type and business purpose. We implement administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect information from unauthorized access, alteration, and disclosure. These safeguards include encrypted communications for form submissions, secure storage, and access controls. While we follow accepted practices, no system is completely secure. If a security incident occurs we will notify affected individuals and relevant authorities as required by law and take steps to minimize harm.

Your rights and choices

You may request access to the personal information we hold about you, request correction, or ask us to delete your data where legally allowed. You can unsubscribe from marketing communications using the link in emails or by contacting [email protected]. Certain data may be retained to fulfill contractual or legal obligations. For data portability requests or to exercise privacy rights, contact us with a clear description of your request and verification information. We will respond within a reasonable timeframe and outline any legal exceptions that apply. If you are located in a jurisdiction with specific privacy laws and would like more information about your rights, please include your jurisdiction in your request so we can provide relevant guidance.
