TIPBRIGHTLY PRIVACY POLICY

Last updated: February 28, 2024

This Privacy Policy explains how information about you is collected, used and disclosed by TipBrightly and its subsidiaries and affiliated companies (“TipBrightly,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). This Privacy Policy applies to information we collect when you use the TipBrightly service ("the Application," "the App" or the “Services”) or when you otherwise interact with us.

Modifications

We may change this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make changes, we will notify you by revising the date at the top of the policy and, in some cases, we may provide you with additional notice (such as showing a notice upon logging into the Application or sending you an email notification). We encourage you to review the Privacy Policy whenever you access the Services to stay informed about our information practices and the ways you can help protect your privacy.

Personal Information

As used in this Policy, the term "personal information" means information that specifically identifies an individual (such as a name, user name, or e-mail address), or information about that individual that can be linked to information that specifically identifies an individual. Personal information does not include "aggregate" information, which is data we collect about the use of the Services or about a group or category of services or users, from which individual identities or other personal information has been removed. This Policy does not restrict our collection and use of aggregate information.
