When you enter your credit or debit card information during checkout, that sensitive payment information is transmitted to and processed by Authorize.net. Bright Solutions for Dyslexia, Inc. does not receive or store the complete credit card number or card security code that you enter during payment.

We may receive transaction-related information from Authorize.net, such as payment status, transaction identifiers, payment method type, and other information necessary to process and maintain records of your purchase.

Google Analytics may collect information such as:

Browser and device information;
Approximate geographic location;
Website and page interactions;
Session information; and
Cookies or similar identifiers.

Google Analytics generally uses first-party cookies and similar technologies to distinguish users and sessions and to measure Website activity.

Google may process information collected through Google Analytics according to Google’s own privacy and data-processing practices.

Google provides an Analytics opt-out browser add-on for users who do not want their visits measured by Google Analytics.

6. Cookies and Similar Technologies

Our Websites use cookies and similar technologies.

A cookie is a small amount of information stored on your computer or device. Cookies may be used to:

Keep items in a shopping cart;
Maintain login sessions;
Remember Website preferences;
Improve Website functionality;
Understand Website traffic and usage;
Identify technical problems; and
Measure Website performance.

Some cookies are necessary for features of the Websites to function properly. Other cookies may be used for analytics.

Third-party service providers, including Google, may place or use cookies or similar technologies when you visit our Websites.

You can generally control or delete cookies through your browser settings. Blocking certain cookies may prevent some portions of the Websites from functioning correctly.

7. California Do Not Track Disclosure

Some web browsers provide a “Do Not Track” or similar privacy signal.

Our Websites do not currently respond to browser Do Not Track signals because there is not a uniform industry standard governing how such signals should be interpreted.

You may still control cookies and certain tracking technologies through your browser settings and through available third-party privacy and opt-out tools, including Google’s Analytics opt-out tools.

Third-party service providers used on our Websites may collect information regarding Website activity through cookies or similar technologies. Their collection and use of information is governed by their respective privacy practices.

8. Accessing, Correcting, or Deleting Your Information

You may contact us to:

Review or update certain personal or account information;
Correct inaccurate information;
Request deletion of information where appropriate; or
Opt out of marketing communications.

We may need to retain certain information even after a deletion request when reasonably necessary for purposes such as completing transactions, maintaining tax and accounting records, resolving disputes, preventing fraud, enforcing agreements, or complying with legal obligations.

We may take reasonable steps to verify your identity before responding to a request involving personal information.

9. Data Retention

We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected and for legitimate business and legal purposes.

For example, we may retain records relating to purchases, payments, customer service, accounting, taxes, warranties, disputes, security, and legal compliance for appropriate periods after a transaction is completed.

Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information and the reason it was collected.

10. Children’s Privacy

Purchases, customer accounts, and submission of personal information through our Websites are intended for adults, including parents, educators, tutors, and other professionals.

We do not knowingly request or collect personal information directly from children under 13.

If we learn that personal information has been collected directly from a child under 13 without appropriate authorization, we will take reasonable steps to delete that information.

A parent or guardian who believes that a child has submitted personal information to us may contact us using the information provided below.

11. Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information.

Sensitive information transmitted through our Websites is protected using encrypted connections such as HTTPS. Access to personal information within our organization is limited to employees and service providers who reasonably need the information to perform their duties.

Payment card information entered during checkout is processed by Authorize.net as described above.

No website, computer system, network, or method of electronic transmission or storage can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Therefore, while we take reasonable measures to protect information, we cannot guarantee absolute security.

12. Links to Other Websites

Our Websites may contain links to websites operated by other organizations.

We are not responsible for the content, security, or privacy practices of third-party websites. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of websites you visit after leaving our Websites.

13. Changes to This Privacy Notice

We may update this Privacy Notice from time to time to reflect changes in our Websites, business practices, technology, or legal requirements.

When this notice is updated, the “Last Updated” date at the top of this document will be revised.

Material changes may also be communicated through the Websites or by other appropriate means.

6. Orders and Order Acceptance

Submitting an order does not necessarily constitute our acceptance of the order.

All orders are subject to review, product availability, payment authorization, and acceptance by Bright Solutions for Dyslexia, Inc.

We reserve the right, to the extent permitted by law, to reject or cancel an order because of:

Product unavailability;
Pricing or product-description errors;
Payment problems;
Suspected fraud;
Shipping restrictions;
Violation of purchase limitations or product-license requirements; or
Other reasonable business or legal concerns.

If an order is canceled after payment has been collected, the appropriate amount will be refunded.

Orders may be processed manually. Product access, account access, downloads, or shipping confirmation therefore may not be instantaneous.

7. Prices, Payment, and Taxes

Prices are displayed in U.S. dollars unless otherwise stated.

We may change prices at any time, but price changes will not normally affect orders that we have already accepted.

Despite reasonable efforts, pricing, product-description, or typographical errors may occasionally occur. We reserve the right to correct such errors and, where permitted by law, cancel an affected order.

Payments are processed through our authorized payment providers, including Authorize.net.

Applicable sales, use, or other taxes may be added as required by law.

8. Shipping and Delivery

Shipping charges and available delivery methods are displayed during checkout when applicable.

Shipping and delivery dates are estimates unless expressly guaranteed in writing.

Delivery may be affected by carrier delays, weather, natural disasters, address errors, transportation interruptions, or other circumstances outside our reasonable control.

Customers are responsible for providing a complete and accurate delivery address.

If an order is returned because an incorrect or incomplete address was provided, additional shipping charges may apply to reship the order where permitted by law.

Nothing in this section limits rights or remedies that cannot legally be waived.

9. Returns, Refunds, and Cancellations

Returns, refunds, exchanges, and order cancellations are governed by the return or refund policy presented on the applicable Website or in connection with the applicable product.

Certain products, downloads, activated materials, services, or other items may have special return restrictions where disclosed before purchase and permitted by law.

Nothing in our return or refund policies eliminates consumer rights that cannot legally be waived.

10. Digital Materials and Online Access

Certain purchases may include downloads, videos, online materials, password-protected content, or other digital resources.

Unless specifically stated otherwise, access to these materials is licensed rather than sold.

You may not share account credentials, access links, digital files, videos, or restricted materials with individuals who are not authorized to use them.

You may not reproduce, distribute, post publicly, resell, sublicense, or otherwise make restricted digital materials available to others except where specifically authorized by Bright Solutions for Dyslexia, Inc.

11. Educational Information and Results

The information and products provided through our Websites are intended for educational purposes.

Nothing on our Websites is intended to constitute medical, psychological, legal, or other professional advice or diagnosis.

Individuals should consult an appropriate qualified professional when professional evaluation, diagnosis, treatment, or advice is needed.

Educational outcomes vary among individuals. Bright Solutions for Dyslexia, Inc. does not guarantee any particular academic, educational, testing, tutoring, or other result from use of a Website, product, program, or instructional material.

12. Third-Party Websites and Services

Our Websites may contain links to or interact with services operated by third parties.

13. Disclaimer of Warranties

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Websites and Website content are provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis.

Bright Solutions for Dyslexia, Inc. does not warrant that the Websites will always be available, uninterrupted, error-free, or free of harmful components.

Nothing in these Terms excludes warranties, rights, or protections that cannot lawfully be excluded or waived.

15. Indemnification

To the extent permitted by law, you agree to indemnify and hold harmless Bright Solutions for Dyslexia, Inc. and its officers, directors, employees, and agents from claims, liabilities, damages, costs, and reasonable attorney’s fees arising from your unlawful use of the Websites, infringement of another person’s rights, or material violation of these Terms.

This provision does not require a consumer to indemnify Bright Solutions for Dyslexia, Inc. for conduct for which such indemnification is prohibited by applicable law.

Conduct that threatens the Websites, our business, or other users.

18. Changes to These Terms

We may revise these Terms from time to time.

The current version will be posted on our Websites with an updated revision date.

Bright Solutions for Dyslexia, Inc. may assign or transfer its rights and obligations under these Terms as part of a merger, acquisition, corporate reorganization, sale of assets, or similar business transaction, or as otherwise permitted by law.

You may not assign rights under these Terms without our written consent except where applicable law provides otherwise.
