This Privacy Policy applies to all personal information collected by Bright OS Group Pty Ltd (we, us or our) via the website located at https://www.thebrightapp.xyz/ (Website).
1. What information do we collect?
The kind of Personal Information that we collect from you will depend on how you use the Website. The Personal Information which we collect and hold about you may include:
- IP address
- Browser information
- Device details
2. Types of information
The Privacy Act 1998 (Cth) (Privacy Act) defines types of information, including Personal Information and Sensitive Information.
Personal Information means information or an opinion about an identified individual, or an individual who is reasonably identifiable:
- whether the information or opinion is true or not; and
- whether the information or opinion is recorded in a material form or not.
If the information does not disclose your identity or enable your identity to be ascertained, it will in most cases not be classified as Personal Information and will not be subject to this privacy policy.
Sensitive Information is defined in the Privacy Act as including information or opinion about such things as an individual's racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, membership of a political association, religious or philosophical beliefs, membership of a trade union or other professional body, criminal record or health information.
Sensitive Information will be used by us only:
- for the primary purpose for which it was obtained;
- for a secondary purpose that is directly related to the primary purpose; and
- with your consent or where required or authorised by law.
3. How we collect your Personal Information
- We may collect Personal Information from you whenever you input such information into the Website, related app, or provide it to us in any other way.
- We may also collect cookies from your computer which enable us to tell when you use the Website and help customise your experience. As a general rule, however, it is not possible to identify you personally from our use of cookies.
- We generally do not collect Sensitive Information, but when we do, we will comply with applicable privacy laws.
- Where reasonable and practicable, we collect your Personal Information directly from you. In some cases, information may be provided by a third party, and we will take reasonable steps to make you aware of this.

Your Personal Information will not be disclosed to recipients outside Australia unless you expressly request it. In such cases, overseas recipients may not be subject to Australian Privacy Principles.
8. GDPR
Our Website does not specifically target individuals in the European Union and does not monitor their behaviour. Accordingly, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) does not apply.

We retain personal information only for as long as necessary to provide the Bright services, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements.
You may request deletion of your personal information at any time by:
