Privacy Policy

At Bryston Ltd. (“Bryston”) we respect your privacy and value our relationship with you. Your personal information will be protected, will never be sold, and unless we advise you in advance, will be used only by Bryston Ltd., our affiliates, authorized dealers, and service suppliers (only to provide services). Our goal is to enhance your product and service experience with us. Generally, when you provide us with personal information, we will assume that you consent to, collection, use and disclosure of such information for the purposes identified or described in below:

• Maintaining the accuracy of our records to respond to your inquiries and provide you with warranty or other customer service communications, and otherwise better understand and manage our relationship with you;
• Providing you with general marketing, product, service and business partner information and offers;
• Conducting market analysis; and
• Satisfying other reasonable, legitimate business interests (such as collecting outstanding debts).

If these intended uses are not reasonably obvious from the circumstances in which personal information is collected, we will provide you with an opportunity to withhold your consent to the collection, use or disclosure of the information. For example, we will give you an opportunity to tell us not to use for marketing purposes the contact information that you provide us when registering for a service. Keep in mind, however, that there are limited situations in which applicable laws require or allow us, our affiliates, suppliers, business partners and our authorized dealers to collect, use/disclose personal information without consent. They include, for example, safety and law enforcement or compliance activities.

How is privacy managed at Bryston authorized dealers?

While Bryston Ltd. encourages its Authorized Dealers to ensure full compliance with all applicable Privacy legislation and has provided information to our Authorized Dealers relating to privacy obligations, each dealer operation operates as a separate legal entity, independent from Bryston Ltd.. As such, Bryston Ltd. is not responsible for their compliance with applicable law. We recommend that you review the privacy practices of the Authorized Dealer with whom you are dealing to ensure that you understand their privacy practices and procedures. Additionally, because the Authorized Dealer often is the first contact with you, the customer, the Authorized Dealer can answer any questions you may have about its privacy practices. When completing a purchase through an Authorized Dealer you should be provided with information describing the Authorized Dealers privacy practices and related statements that explain that certain personal information that you provide to the Authorized Dealer may be shared with Bryston Ltd., its Authorized Dealers and its affiliates for some or all of the purposes described in this policy such as service and warranty administration, customer communication, marketing purposes and to permit us to customize and improve your experience with Bryston Ltd. and the services and products that we offer to you.
