We will retain and use your personal information as needed to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected and as necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes and enforce our agreements under applicable laws.

Our Site is intended to be used by adult customers. Brightstar does not seek to collect any personal information about minors. No information should be submitted to or posted on our sites by minors.

1. If You Only Visit: If you do nothing during your visit to this Site but browse or download information, we automatically collect and store the following information about your visit:
   • The Internet Protocol Address and domain name used, but not the e-mail address. The Internet Protocol Address is a numerical identifier assigned either to your Internet service provider or directly to your computer. We use the Internet Protocol Address to direct Internet traffic to you and generate statistics used in the management of this site;
   • The type of browser and operating system you used;

   • This information does not identify you personally and is used for gathering web site statistics. Our web site logs do not identify a visitor by personal information.
2. If You Place An Order: If you place an order with us, we request information from you on our order form. A user must provide contact information (like name and shipping address) and financial information (like credit card number and expiration date). This information is used for billing purposes and to fill your order/request. If we have trouble processing an order, this contact information is used to get in touch with you.
3. If You Send Us an E-Mail: You may choose to provide us with personal information, as in e-mail with a comment or question. We use the information to improve our service to you or to respond to your request.

6. Sharing With Third Parties

• We may provide personal information to a third party as necessary to process your request or order or otherwise service a customer’s account.
• We reserve the right to disclose or report personal information in limited circumstances where we believe in good faith that disclosure is required under law, to cooperate with regulators or law enforcement authorities, and to protect our rights or property.
• We reserve the right to use your e-mail or other address to send you important information relating to your account.

7. Cookies

When you come into our Site, our server attaches a small text file to your hard drive -- a cookie. Your unique cookie tells us that it's you whenever you re-enter our site, so we can recall where you've previously been on our site, and what, if anything, you have in your shopping cart. Cookies help us deliver a better Web site experience to our users.

This information collected by using a cookie is sometimes called "clickstream." We use this information to understand how our users navigate our site, and to determine common traffic patterns, including what site the user came from. We may use this information to make site navigation and product recommendations, and to help redesign our site in order to make your experience on our site more efficient and enjoyable. We may also use this information to better personalize the content, banner ads, and promotions that you and other users will see.

You also have choices with respect to cookies. By modifying your browser preferences, you have the choice to accept all cookies, to be notified when a cookie is set, or to reject all cookies. If you choose to reject all cookies you will be unable to use those services or engage in activities that require the placement of cookies.

8. Security

When you place an order or provide personal information through this Site, your transactions are encrypted for security. Encryption scrambles the information in your purchase, including your credit card number.

This Site uses Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption technology. The SSL protocol provides server authentication, data integrity, and privacy on the Web. SSL encrypts your personal and financial information as it is being transmitted, including credit card information, and also verifies the identity of the server and that the original message arrives at its destination.

However, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your personal information, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us or from this Site, and therefore you use this Site at your own risk. Once we receive your transmission, we use our best effort to ensure its security on our systems. We also cannot be responsible for criminal acts of third parties, such as “hackers,” who may seek to compromise our security measures through unlawful means. Industry-accepted security measures have been integrated into the design, implementation, and day-to-day operation of the Site.

9. Endorsements and Links to Other Sites

This Site may contain advertising for the purpose of commercial information and hyperlinks to, or web addresses of, the Web sites of other organizations. When you visit such other Web sites, you are no longer on our Site and you are subject to the privacy and security policies of the new site. We do not review these other privacy and security policies and takes no responsibility for them.

10. Changes and Inquiries

We may change, modify or withdraw this Statement at any time without notice. In order to be aware of and review any such revisions, you agree to visit our Site periodically. If we make material changes to our Statement, where required by applicable laws, we may also notify you by other means prior to the changes taking effect, such as by posting a specific notice on our Sites or sending you a notification. By continuing to use our Site after such revisions are in effect, you accept and agree to abide by the updated Statement. We value your opinions and feedback. Should you have questions or comments related to this Statement or wish to access or correct personal information held by Brightstar about yourself, please contact Brightstar’s Global Ethics & Compliance Office at Ethics+Compliance@Brightstar.com.
