1. Introduction

At Bright City Worldwide ("we," "our," "us"), your privacy is not an afterthought — it is a commitment. We are a curated online retail platform at www.brightcityworldwide.com, bringing you smart tech accessories, wellness tools, fitness gear, pet essentials, and home solutions designed for everyday living.

We are the seller of record for every transaction on this site — meaning we are fully responsible for your purchase experience and how your data is handled.

This Privacy Policy explains what personal information we collect, why we collect it, how we use and protect it, and what rights you have over it. By using our website or placing an order, you agree to the practices described in this document.

Third-Party Supplier & Fulfillment Partners Your name, shipping address, phone number, and order details are shared with the supplier responsible for packing and shipping your product directly to you. Suppliers receive only what is needed to complete your order. They are strictly prohibited from using your data for their own marketing or any unrelated purpose.

Technology & Platform Service Providers We operate on Shopify and use supporting tools, which may include email marketing platforms, analytics services, and customer support software. These providers access only the data they need to perform their function and are bound by data processing agreements with us.

Legal & Regulatory Authorities We may disclose your information if required to do so by law, court order, or government authority, or when necessary to protect the rights, property, or safety of Bright City Worldwide, our customers, or the public.
