Your personal information
Personal information held by Brilliant Beam may include your name, date of birth, current and previous addresses, telephone/mobile phone number, email address, bank account or credit card details, occupation, driver's licence number and your Brilliant Beam PIN, username or password.

Occasionally, you may need to provide personal information about other individuals to Brilliant Beam (e.g. about your authorised representatives). If so, Brilliant Beam relies on you to inform those individuals that you are providing their personal information to Brilliant Beam and to advise them that Brilliant Beam can be contacted for further information (see 'How to contact us' below).
