Privacy Policy for Brilliant Web Sites
Last Updated: 17 August 2018
This Privacy Policy for Brilliant Sites describes information Brilliant Home Technology, Inc. and its subsidiaries and affiliates (collectively, “Brilliant”) collect, use, share, and store, including personal information (i.e., information that personally identifies you, such as your name, email address or billing information, or other data that can be reasonably used to infer this information).
This document focuses on information related to the operation of the public websites available at brilliant.tech and brilliant.tech sub-domains (each, a “Site”), including our online store.
We provide additional details about how we collect and use information in connection with Brilliant products and services in our Privacy Statement for Brilliant Products and Services.
COLLECTION AND USE
Brilliant collects information about you through our Sites in several ways. This information is used to provide users with Brilliant products and services, to allow us to understand how visitors navigate our Site, and to provide advertising that is relevant to your interests.
PURCHASE AND LOGIN INFORMATION
If you pre-order or purchase Brilliant products from our Site, we request that you provide your name, email address, billing and shipping address, credit card information and any other information necessary to complete the transaction. If you create a Brilliant account, your name, billing and shipping address and the last four digits of your credit card information can be stored by Brilliant. We do not collect or store your full credit card information. Our credit card processing service providers, Shopify and Amazon, may collect and store full payment card information from you, even as a guest user, when an order is placed until when it ships. If you create a Brilliant account and elect to have payment card information saved, these companies will store your payment information.
MAILING LIST INFORMATION
You may choose to submit your email address via a submission form located on our Site. Your email address may be used to send you news about Brilliant-related services, products or promotions. We may use one or more service providers to administer these messages, but we do not share your email address with spammers or any other third parties without your permission.
DEVICE USAGE INFORMATION
If you visit our Site and are logged into your Brilliant account, we record the IP address you visit our Site from, and if you have a Brilliant device or other connected device, we record adjustments you make to the product through the website interface. We store this data along with your email address, information about your Brilliant device, data collected directly by the device, a history of your device settings, and any other information we have collected about your use of Brilliant products and services. See our Privacy Statement for Brilliant Products and Services to learn more about the usage information collected through our products.
ONLINE TRACKING AND YOUR CHOICES
Website Use Information: Like many websites, we and our third-party partners analyze log file information and other data collected through cookies, web beacons, and other tracking technology, to collect information about your browsing behavior when you visit our Site, including for example, your browser type, domains, page views, IP address, referring/exit pages, information about how you interact with our Site’s webpages and with third-party links, traffic and usage trends on the service, etc. We use session cookies to keep you logged in while you use features of our Site; these disappear after you close your browser. We also use persistent cookies, which stay in your browser and allow us to recognize you when you return to the Site. We use this to remember your information so you will not have to re-enter it, to better understand how you use our website and products and services, to diagnose and fix technology problems, and otherwise enhance our Site, products, and services. In some of our email messages, we use a “click-through URL” linked to content on the Site. We track this click-through data to help us measure the effectiveness of our customer communications. We also use third-party analytics tools (including Google Analytics) to assist us with analyzing and improving our service. Most Internet browsers automatically accept cookies, but you may be able to change the settings of your browser to stop accepting cookies or to prompt you before accepting a cookie from the websites you visit. If you set your browser to reject cookies, parts of our Site may not work for you. Please note, depending on your type of device or browser, it may not be possible to delete or disable all tracking mechanisms on your device.
- Your selection of the “Do Not Track” option provided by your browser may not have any effect on our collection of cookie information for analytic and internal purposes. The only way to completely “opt out” of the collection of any information through cookies or other tracking technology is to actively manage the settings on your browser or mobile device to delete and disable cookies and other tracking/recording tools. (To learn more about cookies, clear gifs/web beacons and related technologies, you may wish to visit org).
- We permit third-party advertising partners to use cookies and other technology to collect information about your browsing activities over time and across different websites when you use our Site. For example, we use advertising services provided by third-party ad partners, such as Google Display Network and AdRoll, to market our services to you on other websites and online services. Through a process called “retargeting,” each service places a cookie on your browser when you visit our Site so that they can identify you and serve you ads on other sites around the web based on your browsing activity. To avoid use of this information for advertising by these third-party ad partners, you can change your browser settings to reject cookies or to notify you when cookies are set and you could select the Do Not Track option on your browser, though we have no control over and cannot confirm whether these third party ad parties honor the Do Not Track browser signal. Additionally, many advertising companies are members of the NAI or DAA and/or provide opt-outs on those industry pages at org/choicesor aboutads.info/choices.
THIRD-PARTY SITES AND FEATURES
Our Site may contain links to other websites operated by third parties and may include social media features such as Facebook and Twitter buttons (such as “Like,” “Tweet” or “Pin”). These third-party sites may collect information about you if you click on a link and the social media sites may automatically record information about your browsing behavior every time you visit a site that has a social media button. Your interactions with these features are governed by the privacy policy of the company providing the feature, not by our privacy policy. We do not control what information these third parties collect. Please review your privacy settings on your social media sites and think carefully before clicking on links which may take you to a third-party website.
MINORS
Our Site does not knowingly collect or store any personal information about children under the age of 13.

The following are the limited situations where we may share personal information:

If you do this, we may share certain information with the partner. This could include things like your enrollment information and the activation status of your device. Similarly, when you connect third-party devices and services to your Brilliant Products, you are shown information about any proposed exchange of data. Your consent is required to allow these exchanges on your behalf and you can chang
