We do not collect any personal information about you unless you voluntarily provide it to us. However, you may be required to provide certain personal information to us when you elect to use certain products or services available on the Website, such as sending us an email message. To wit, we will use your information for, but not limited to, communicating with you in relation to services and/or products you have requested from us.

INFORMATION WE COLLECT DIRECTLY

We limit the information we collect to include only what is necessary to run our business and improve your user experience.

INFORMATION WE COLLECT BY AUTOMATED MEANS

Information about your computer hardware and software may be automatically collected by Bridger Photonics. To collect this information, we use cookies and similar tracking technologies.

One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience feature to save you time. The purpose of a cookie is to tell the Web server that you have returned to a specific page. For example, if you personalize Bridger Photonics pages, or register with Bridger Photonics Website or services, a cookie helps Bridger Photonics to recall your specific information on subsequent visits. This simplifies the process of recording your personal information, such as billing addresses, shipping addresses, and so on. When you return to the same Bridger Photonics Website, the information you previously provided can be retrieved, so you can easily use the Bridger Photonics features that you customized.
