Privacy Policy

Brilliant5 Inc. ("Brilliant5," "we," "us," or "our"), a company incorporated in Ontario, Canada, operates the brilliant5.ai website and related communications (the "Services"). We respect your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect your information when you use the Services.

1) Information We Collect

Information you provide: contact forms, newsletter/blog sign-ups, role applications (resumes/CVs), and investor details (name, email, phone, company, role, resume content, your message). If you create an account, we also collect your account credentials and profile information.

Communications: the content of your communication and metadata needed to respond.

Usage and analytics data: device and usage information such as IP address, approximate location, browser/OS, pages viewed, and timestamps.

Cookies and similar technologies: see our Cookie Policy.

2) How We Use Information

• To provide, maintain, and improve the Services;
• To create and administer accounts and respond to inquiries about our AI development services;
• To send newsletters and marketing communications (with consent where required);
• To analyze usage and secure our Services;
• To comply with legal obligations and enforce our Terms of Service.

3) Legal Bases (EU/UK)

Where applicable, we process personal data under consent, contract/pre-contractual steps, legitimate interests, and legal obligations.

4) Sharing of Information

We may share with service providers under safeguards, for legal/safety purposes, and in business transfers. We do not sell personal information and do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising as defined under California law.

5) Service Providers & Sub-processors

We rely on trusted third parties to run the Services, acting on our instructions under contractual safeguards. These fall into the following categories:

• Cloud hosting & infrastructure (application and file hosting);
• Application & database platform (our website builder and backend data storage);
• Email delivery (transactional and notification emails);
• Web analytics (understanding how the Services are used).

We can provide further detail about specific providers on request at legal@brilliant5.ai.

6) International Transfers

Your information may be processed in Canada and other jurisdictions where our service providers operate, with appropriate safeguards where required. We do not currently direct the Services to individuals in the EU or UK; as we begin offering the Services in those regions, we will implement applicable safeguards — including, where required, appointing an EU/UK representative — and update this Policy.

7) Retention

We retain personal information for as long as necessary to provide the Services, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements, then securely delete or anonymize it.

8) Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards. No method of transmission or storage is fully secure.

9) Your Rights

Canada (PIPEDA): you may request access to, and correction of, your personal information, and may withdraw consent subject to legal or contractual limits.

EU/UK: access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability, objection, withdraw consent, and the right to complain to a supervisory authority.

California (CCPA/CPRA): know/access, delete, correct, limit use of sensitive data, and freedom from discrimination. We do not sell or share personal information. To exercise any right, contact legal@brilliant5.ai.

10) Automated Decision-Making

The website does not make automated decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects about visitors. If this changes, we will update this Policy and provide any disclosures required by law.

11) Children's Privacy

The Services are not directed to children under 16 (or the minimum age of digital consent in your jurisdiction, and in no case under 13), and we do not knowingly collect their personal information.

12) Third-Party Websites

We may link to third-party sites we do not control; their policies govern those sites.

13) Changes

We may update this Policy; the "Last Updated" date indicates the latest revision.
