Traffic optimization and distribution

At this time, your personal information is not shared with any other third-party applications. We may share personal information in connection with a corporate transaction such as a merger, takeover, etc. This list may be amended from time to time at Bright Color Mom’s sole discretion.

Except when required by law, we will not sell, distribute, or reveal your email addresses or other personal information without your consent.

How long your data is retained

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

For users that register on this website (if any), it also stores the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.

What rights you have over your data

If you have an account on this site or have left comments, you may request access to your personal information we have on record in order to ensure accuracy. If there are discrepancies, your information can be updated as appropriate. To access your personal information, a request must be submitted in writing to us at michelle@brightcolormom.com. We will respond to your request for access or information in a reasonable time. There may be times when we are unable to fulfill your request – for example, if providing access to your personal information would reveal confidential commercial or proprietary information or personal information about someone else (and we are unable to separate your data), or if we are prohibited by law from disclosing the information.

Where we send your data

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.

Newsletters

On Bright Color Mom, you may subscribe to our newsletter, which may be used for advertising purposes. All newsletters sent may contain tracking pixels. The pixel is embedded in emails and allows an analysis of the success of online marketing campaigns. Because of these tracking pixels, we may see if and when you open an email and which links within the email you click. Also, this allows us to adapt the content of future newsletters to your interests. This information will not be passed on to third parties.

Opting Out or Withdrawing Your Consent

If you decide that you do not want to receive marketing offers for products and services, you may withdraw or refuse your consent at any time by emailing us at michelle@brightcolormom.com.  Your request will be processed but may not be in time to remove you from communications already in progress. Please note that even if you have opted out of receiving marketing communications, we may still contact you for purposes of administering your account.

Links to other websites

Bright Color Mom may contain links to other websites of interest. However, once you have used these links to leave this site, you should note that we do not have any control over that other website. Therefore, we cannot be responsible for the protection and privacy of any information which you provide while visiting such sites and such sites are not governed by this privacy statement. You should exercise caution and look at the privacy statement applicable to the website in question.

Sensitive personal information

At no time should you submit sensitive personal information to Bright Color Mom. This includes your social security number, information regarding race or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious beliefs, health information, criminal background, or trade union memberships. If you elect to submit such information to us, it will be subject to this Privacy Policy.
