Privacy Policy

1. General and definitions

We are very delighted that you have shown interest in our enterprise. Data protection is of a particularly high priority for the management of Bright Net, LLC. The use of the Internet pages of Bright Net, LLC is possible without any indication of personal data; however, if a data subject wants to use special enterprise services via our website, processing of personal data could become necessary. If the processing of personal data is necessary and there is no statutory basis for such processing, we generally obtain consent from the data subject.

The processing of personal data, such as the name, address, e-mail address, or telephone number of a data subject shall always be in line with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and in accordance with the country-specific data protection regulations applicable to Bright Net, LLC. By means of this data protection declaration, our enterprise would like to inform the general public of the nature, scope, and purpose of the personal data we collect, use and process. Furthermore, data subjects are informed, by means of this data protection declaration, of the rights to which they are entitled.

As the controller, Bright Net, LLC has implemented numerous technical and organizational measures to ensure the most complete protection of personal data processed through this website. However, Internet-based data transmissions may in principle have security gaps, so absolute protection may not be guaranteed. For this reason, every data subject is free to transfer personal data to us via alternative means, e.g. by telephone.

The data protection declaration of Bright Net, LLC is based on the terms used by the European legislator for the adoption of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). In this data protection declaration, we use, inter alia, the following terms:

a) Personal data

Personal data means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (data subject). An identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person.

b) Data subject

Data subject is any identified or identifiable natural person, whose personal data is processed by the controller responsible for the processing.

c) Processing

Processing is any operation or set of operations which is performed on personal data or on sets of personal data, whether or not by automated means, such as collection, recording, organization, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure or destruction.

d) Controller

Controller is the natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data.

e) Consent

Consent of the data subject is any freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous indication of the data subject's wishes by which he or she, by a statement or by a clear affirmative action, signifies agreement to the processing of personal data relating to him or her.

2. Name and address of the controller

4. Cookies

The Internet pages of Bright Net, LLC may use cookies. Cookies are text files that are stored in a computer system via an Internet browser. Many Internet sites and servers use cookies. A cookie ID is a unique identifier of the cookie consisting of a character string through which Internet pages and servers can be assigned to the specific Internet browser in which the cookie was stored.

Through the use of cookies, Bright Net, LLC can provide the users of this website with more user-friendly services that would not be possible without the cookie setting. The data subject may, at any time, prevent the setting of cookies through our website by means of a corresponding setting of the Internet browser used, and may thus permanently deny the setting of cookies. If the data subject deactivates cookies, not all functions of our website may be entirely usable.

5. Collection of general data and information

The website of Bright Net, LLC collects a series of general data and information when a data subject or automated system calls up the website. This general data and information may be stored in server log files. Collected may be (1) the browser types and versions used, (2) the operating system used by the accessing system, (3) the website from which an accessing system reaches our website (so-called referrers), (4) the sub-websites, (5) the date and time of access, (6) an Internet protocol address (IP address), (7) the Internet service provider of the accessing system, and (8) any other similar data and information that may be used in the event of attacks on our information technology systems.

When using these general data and information, Bright Net, LLC does not draw any conclusions about the data subject. Rather, this information is needed to (1) deliver the content of our website correctly, (2) optimize the content of our website, (3) ensure the long-term viability of our information technology systems and website technology, and (4) provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for criminal prosecution in case of a cyber-attack.

6. Contact possibility via the website

The website of Bright Net, LLC contains information that enables a quick electronic contact to our enterprise, including a general e-mail address. If a data subject contacts the controller by e-mail, the personal data transmitted by the data subject are automatically stored for the purpose of processing or contacting the data subject. There is no transfer of this personal data to third parties except where required by law or necessary to fulfill the request.

7. Routine erasure and blocking of personal data

The data controller shall process and store the personal data of the data subject only for the period necessary to achieve the purpose of storage, or as far as this is granted by applicable laws or regulations. If the storage purpose is not applicable, or if a storage period expires, the personal data are routinely blocked or erased in accordance with legal requirements.

8. Rights of the data subject

Where applicable under GDPR or similar laws, each data subject has the right to:

• Obtain confirmation as to whether or not personal data concerning him or her are being processed
• Obtain free information about his or her personal data stored and a copy of this information
• Obtain without undue delay the rectification of inaccurate personal data
• Obtain the erasure of personal data concerning him or her without undue delay (right to be forgotten), where applicable
• Obtain restriction of processing where one of the statutory conditions applies
• Receive personal data in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format (data portability)
• Object to processing based on legitimate interests, including direct marketing
• Not be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, where applicable

9. Advertising technology partners

Bright Net provides ad revenue optimization and related services for publishers. In connection with those services, advertising technology partners (such as demand-side platforms, ad exchanges, and measurement providers) may process certain technical or advertising identifiers. Where such partners are used on publisher inventory or on this website, their own privacy policies also apply.

If Google AdSense, Google Analytics, DoubleClick, or similar Google advertising components are used, additional information is available at https://policies.google.com/privacy.

10. Legal basis for the processing

Art. 6(1) lit. a GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing operations for which we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose. If the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party, the processing is based on Article 6(1) lit. b GDPR. The same applies to pre-contractual measures. If our company is subject to a legal obligation by which processing of personal data is required, the processing is based on Art. 6(1) lit. c GDPR. Processing may also be based on Article 6(1) lit. f GDPR where necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by our company or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject.

11. The legitimate interests pursued by the controller

Where the processing of personal data is based on Article 6(1) lit. f GDPR, our legitimate interest is to carry out our business in favor of the well-being of all our employees and the shareholders, and to deliver and improve our advertising technology services.

12. Period for which the personal data will be stored

The criteria used to determine the period of storage of personal data is the respective statutory retention period. After expiration of that period, the corresponding data is routinely deleted, as long as it is no longer necessary for the fulfillment of the contract or the initiation of a contract.

13. Provision of personal data

We clarify that the provision of personal data is partly required by law (e.g. tax regulations) or can also result from contractual provisions. Sometimes it may be necessary to conclude a contract that the data subject provides us with personal data. The non-provision of the personal data would have the consequence that the contract with the data subject could not be concluded. Before personal data is provided, the data subject may contact us for clarification.
