Who we are

Our website address is: https://briteideas.com.au.

Comments

When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.

An anonymised string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.

Media

When supplying images to Brite ideas, you should avoid using images that have embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the Brite Ideas website can download and extract any location data from images on any website.

Cookies

If you leave a comment on our site you may opt-in to saving your name, email address and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.

If you visit our login page, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.

When you log in, we will also set up several cookies to save your login information and your screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me”, your login will persist for two weeks. If you log out of your account, the login cookies will be removed.

If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie includes no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you just edited. It expires after 1 day.

Embedded content from other websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.

These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

Who we share your data with

We respect your privacy and only share your data when it is necessary to provide our services or when required by law. In addition to your IP address being included in a password reset email, your information may also be shared with:

  • Service providers who assist us in operating our website, processing payments, delivering digital products, or providing technical support.
  • Analytics and security partners who help us monitor site performance, protect against fraud, and maintain data security.
  • Legal or regulatory authorities if we are legally obliged to disclose information.

We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties for marketing purposes. Any data shared is strictly limited to what is necessary and handled in line with our privacy policy.

How long we retain your data

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 our website (if any), we also store 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

You are entitled to certain rights in relation to your personal information. If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request:

  • A copy of your data — an exported file containing the personal information we hold about you, including any details you have provided.
  • Deletion of your data — the erasure of any personal information we hold about you, except where we are legally required or have a legitimate need to retain it for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

To make a data request, please contact us at here. We will respond to all valid requests within a reasonable timeframe and in accordance with applicable privacy laws.

For more details on how we handle and protect your personal information, please refer to our Privacy Policy.

Where your data is sent

To keep our website secure and free from spam or malicious activity, certain visitor information may be processed outside of our website system. For example:

  • Visitor comments may be scanned by an automated spam detection service before being published.
  • Form submissions may be passed through third-party services (such as email delivery or security monitoring tools) to ensure messages reach us safely.
  • Website analytics data may be collected by trusted third-party providers to help us understand visitor behaviour and improve our services.

Any data sent to third parties is handled in line with industry standards for security and privacy. For more details on how we manage and protect your information, please refer to our Privacy Policy.
