These tools may collect or receive information such as IP address, browser type, device information, operating system, pages or screens viewed, interactions with the Services, approximate location information, referring URLs, timestamps, session information, and other technical or usage data. The information practices of these third-party providers are governed by their own privacy policies and terms, and Bright Inspect does not control those third parties or their independent use of information.

5. Data Ownership & Use of Inspection Data

Inspection reports, images, videos, metadata, analytics, scores, workflows, compliance assessments, and other outputs generated through the Services ("Inspection Data") are owned by Bright Inspect, LLC, except to the extent prohibited by applicable law.

6. Data Security

We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect information against unauthorized access, acquisition, disclosure, alteration, misuse, destruction, or loss. These safeguards may include access controls, authentication procedures, encryption where appropriate, security monitoring, vendor management practices, data minimization measures, and other operational and technical protections. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. As a result, Bright Inspect cannot guarantee absolute security, and you provide information to us and use the Services at your own risk to the extent permitted by applicable law.

7. Data Retention

We retain information for as long as reasonably necessary to provide the Services, maintain accounts, generate reports, support enterprise and compliance workflows, comply with legal, regulatory, tax, accounting, audit, insurance, fraud-prevention, and contractual obligations, resolve disputes, enforce our agreements, and protect our legitimate business interests. Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information, the nature of the Services provided, applicable program requirements, and legal obligations. In some cases, we may retain de-identified, anonymized, or aggregated information for longer periods or indefinitely to the extent permitted by applicable law.
