Why do some of your apps mention Bright SDK or Bright Data?

Accepted Answer

Some of our apps include Bright SDK, a tool from Bright Data that lets us monetize a small amount of idle network resources instead of relying only on ads or paid upgrades. In return, we can keep more features free or offer extra perks to users.

Question 14

Bright SDK anonymously indexes public web data from public websites (like e-commerce, travel, and consumer brand sites). It uses your internet connection to download a small number of public web pages in the background, without tracking you or showing ads.

Question 15

What data does Bright SDK collect through your apps?

Accepted Answer

Bright SDK does not collect your name, email, browsing history, app usage, cookies, or device identifiers. The only personal data it needs is your IP address, mainly to log your consent and comply with privacy laws. Users are otherwise anonymous and indistinguishable.

Question 16

Can Bright SDK see my files, messages, or passwords?

Accepted Answer

No. Bright SDK does not access your personal files, messages, logins, or passwords. It only fetches publicly available web pages that anyone could view in a browser without logging in.

Question 17

Will Bright SDK slow down my device or internet?

Accepted Answer

Bright SDK is designed to use only idle device and network resources and to run in a way that should not materially impact your device performance or app experience. It does not inject ads or pop-ups.

Question 18

Is Bright SDK compliant with privacy laws?

Accepted Answer

According to Bright Data, Bright SDK is built to comply with major privacy regulations such as GDPR and CCPA, and it does not use tracking, cookies, or advertising IDs

Question 19

Is using Bright SDK optional?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Participation is always optional. When one of our apps uses Bright SDK, you’ll see a clear offer/consent screen explaining what it does and what you get in return. You can decline and keep using the app’s core features as usual.

Question 20

How do I disable Bright SDK later?

Accepted Answer

If you previously agreed and want to opt out, you can usually disable Bright SDK from that app’s settings screen or by following the link provided on the consent/offer screen. Once disabled, Bright SDK will stop using your connection for web indexing.
