financial qualification and billing information, such as billing name and

additional information, or when you register for the Service, we may also ask

number, or additional company information, such as annual revenues, number of
employees, or industry. Customers can opt out of providing this additional

their personal information at any time by logging into the Website and
editing their Personal Information within Profile. Customers can view their

Cookies:
When you interact with the Brightidea.com Website we strive to make that
experience easy and meaningful. When you come to our Web site, our Web server
sends a cookie to your computer. Cookies are files that Web browsers place on
a computer's hard drive and are used to tell us whether customers and
visitors have visited the Site previously.
Standing alone, cookies do not identify you personally. They merely recognize
your browser. Unless you choose to identify yourself to Brightidea.com,
either by responding to a promotional offer, opening an account, or
registering for a 30-day Trial, you remain anonymous to brightidea.com.
Cookies come in two flavors: session and persistent-based. Session cookies
exist only during an online session. They disappear from your computer when
you close your browser software or turn off your computer. Persistent cookies

browser.
Brightidea.com uses session cookies containing encrypted information to allow
the system to uniquely identify you while you are logged in. This information
allows Brightidea.com to process your online transactions and requests.
Session cookies help us make sure you are who you say you are after you've
logged in and are required in order to use the Brightidea.com application. Brightidea.com
uses persistent cookies, that only Brightidea.com can read and use, to
identify the fact that you are a Brightidea.com customer or prior Brightidea.com
Website visitor (whatever the case may be). We are especially careful about
the security and confidentiality of the information stored in persistent
cookies. For example, we do not store account numbers or passwords in
persistent cookies. Users who disable their Web browsers' ability to accept
cookies will be able to browse our Website but will not be able to successfully
use our Service.

provide us with information on site usage and is not shared with any other
third parties.
