Privacy Policy

Effective Date:  This Privacy Policy was last updated on April 20, 2026.

1. Introduction

This Privacy Policy describes how BrightView Strategies, LLC (“we,” “us,” or “our”) handles information in connection with your use of the website accessible at www.participant.com and www.participantmedia.com (collectively, the “Site”). The Site is an archival and informational resource preserving the legacy of Participant Media. We are committed to transparency about our data practices, which are minimal by design. This Privacy Policy is incorporated into and forms part of our Terms of Use, which are available on the Site.

2. Information We Do Not Collect

The Site does not include user accounts, login functionality, contact forms, newsletter sign-ups, e-commerce features, or any mechanism through which you would voluntarily submit personal information to us. While we do not actively collect, store, or process personal data through the Site, limited data such as IP addresses may be automatically processed via server logs.

3. Automatically Collected Information

Like most websites, our web hosting provider may automatically collect certain technical information when you visit the Site, including:

  • Your IP address
  • Browser type and version
  • Operating system
  • Pages visited and time of access
  • Referring website address

This information is collected through standard server logs maintained by our hosting provider and is used solely for purposes of maintaining the security and functionality of the Site. We do not use this information to attempt to identify individual users, and we do not deploy first-party cookies, analytics tools, or tracking technologies on the Site.

4. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

First-Party Cookies. The Site does not set first-party cookies or use any first-party tracking technologies.

Third-Party Cookies. The Site embeds content from third-party platforms (such as video hosting services and social media feeds). When you view a page containing embedded third-party content, that third party may set cookies or use similar tracking technologies (such as pixels or web beacons) on your device in accordance with its own privacy and cookie policies. This data collection is initiated by the third party and is outside of our direct control.

Managing Cookies. You can manage or disable cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to refuse cookies, delete existing cookies, or alert you when a cookie is being set. Please note that disabling cookies may affect the functionality of embedded third-party content on the Site. For more information about managing cookies, consult your browser’s help documentation.

5. Third-Party Embedded Content

The Site embeds content from third-party platforms. When you view a page containing embedded content, the third-party provider may collect information about you—including through the cookies and tracking technologies described in Section 4—in accordance with its own privacy policy. This data collection is governed entirely by the third party.

We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party platforms whose content appears on the Site. These may include video hosting services, social media platforms, and other content providers. Each platform’s privacy policy can typically be found on that platform’s website.

6. How We Use Information

To the extent any technical information is collected through server logs, it is used solely to:

  • Monitor and maintain the security and integrity of the Site
  • Diagnose technical problems
  • Understand aggregate, non-identifying usage patterns
7. Information Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell, rent, trade, or otherwise share personal information with third parties for marketing or commercial purposes. We may disclose technical server log data only in the following limited circumstances:

  • To comply with applicable law, regulation, or legal process
  • To protect the rights, property, or safety of BrightView Strategies, LLC or others
  • To our hosting provider or service providers who assist in operating the Site, subject to confidentiality obligations
  • In connection with a merger or sale
8. Data Retention

Server logs are typically retained for a limited period (e.g., days or weeks) in accordance with our hosting provider’s standard practices and is periodically purged, unless needed for security purposes. We do not maintain any independent database of user information.

9. Your Rights and Choices

Because the Site does not actively collect personal data, there is generally no personal information for us to access, correct, or delete at your request. If you believe we hold any personal information about you, you may contact us using the information below, and we will respond to your inquiry.

California Residents: Under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), California residents have specific rights regarding their personal information, including the right to know what personal information is collected, the right to request deletion, and the right to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information. We do not sell or share personal information as those terms are defined under the CPRA. We collect information directly from your device and browser when you access the Site. Because we do not collect personal information through the Site beyond standard server logs, internet/network activity (e.g., page visits), identifiers (e.g., IP address) and do not use that information to identify individual users, these provisions have limited practical application to our Site. Nevertheless, California residents may contact us with any inquiries regarding their rights.

International Visitors: The Site is operated from the United States. If you are visiting from the European Economic Area (EEA), the United Kingdom, or any other jurisdiction with data protection laws that may differ from U.S. law, please be aware that any technical information collected through server logs is processed in the United States. To the extent any such processing occurs, our legal basis is legitimate interest in maintaining the security and functionality of the Site. We do not actively collect personal data, create user profiles, or engage in automated decision-making. Third-party content embedded on the Site may independently process data subject to those third parties’ own privacy policies and applicable data protection laws, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and may rely on their own legal bases. Where required by applicable law, users may be presented with options to consent to third-party content before it loads. If you have questions or concerns about your rights under applicable data protection laws, you may contact us using the information provided below. BrightView Strategies, LLC is the data controller for purposes of applicable data protection laws.

10. Do Not Track Disclosure

Certain web browsers offer a “Do Not Track” (“DNT”) setting that sends a signal to websites requesting that your browsing activity not be tracked. The Site does not intentionally set first-party cookies, or use analytics tools, or tracking technologies to monitor individual user behavior, and therefore the Site’s functionality does not change in response to DNT signals. Please note, however, that third-party content embedded on the Site may respond to DNT signals in accordance with their own policies.

11. Children’s Privacy

The Site is a general-audience informational resource and does not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13 (or such other age as applicable law may specify). If we become aware that we have inadvertently received personal information from a child, we will take reasonable steps to delete such information.

12. Accessibility

We endeavor to make the Site accessible to users with disabilities. For information about our accessibility efforts, or to report an accessibility concern, please see the Accessibility section of our Terms of Use or contact us at info@brightviewstrategy.com.

13. Security

We take reasonable measures to protect the Site from unauthorized access or misuse. However, no method of electronic transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

14. Severability

If any provision of this Privacy Policy is found by a court or other authority of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, such finding shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions, which shall continue in full force and effect. The invalid or unenforceable provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid and enforceable, consistent with the intent of this Privacy Policy.

15. Assignment and Successors

This Privacy Policy, and any rights and obligations hereunder, may be assigned or transferred by us without restriction, including in connection with a merger, acquisition, restructuring, sale of assets, or by operation of law. This Privacy Policy shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective successors, heirs, and permitted assigns.

16. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated effective date. Your continued use of the Site following the posting of changes constitutes your acceptance of those changes.
