What does NXConnect do?

NXConnect is the launchpad for your latest social post, and other content. We connect your audience to wherever you are online, and make your content more discoverable and easier to manage. Our Website (located at www.nxlvl.app and other digital properties (such as our mobile app and Developer Portal) (together with our “Platform”) provide information about us and allow individuals and businesses to sign-up as NXConnect Users (to create a personalized, easily-customizable page), as Subscribers (to subscribe to and follow NXConnect Users), or as developers (to create functionality that interacts with our Platform) (together, the "NXConnect Services"). 

The pages that NXConnect Users are able to create using the NXConnect Services are referred to in this Privacy Notice as "User Profiles". User Profiles are accessible by the public.

We are headquartered in the United States. For more information about NXConnect, please see the “About” section of our Website at www.nxlvl.app.

 

How does this Privacy Notice apply to me?

This Privacy Notice only applies to personal information we collect as a controller from:

· visitors to our Platform ("Platform Visitors");

· individuals, representatives of individuals, or companies that sign up to use our NXConnect Services via a nXlvl App, together our "NXConnect Users";

· individuals that sign up to subscribe to and/or follow User Profiles ("Subscribers");

· individuals that visit and interact with User Profiles ("Profile Visitors");

· developers that sign up to our Developer Portal in order to build a functionality that interacts with the NXConnect Services (“NXConnect Developers”); and

· individuals who respond to our surveys, marketing materials, or participate in trade promotions or competitions that we may run from time to time.


This Privacy Notice applies to the processing of personal information by NXConnect as a controller. When we talk about NXConnect acting as a "controller", we mean that NXConnect determines the purpose and the means of the processing (i.e. we make decisions about how we will handle your personal information). Because of the nature of our services, we can also act as a "processor" on behalf of NXConnect Users. This means that, when we are instructed by a NXConnect User, we can facilitate processing of Profile Visitors' and Subscribers' personal information on behalf of that NXConnect User ("Processor Services"). This Privacy Notice does not address Processor Services. If you are a Profile Visitor or Subscriber and want to know how an NXConnect User handles your personal information, please get in touch with the NXConnect User directly and/or refer to any privacy notice on the relevant User Profile.

If you provide us with information about another person (if, for example, you are a representative of an individual), you must provide them with a copy of this Privacy Notice and let that other person know that we use their personal information in the ways set out in this Privacy Notice.

 

What personal information do we collect?

The personal information that we may collect about you broadly falls into the following categories:

· Information you provide voluntarily
When you sign up to become a NXConnect User, a Subscriber, use or interact with our NXConnect Services or staff, visit our Platform, visit a User Profile, sign up to our Developer Portal, respond to a survey or participate in a trade promotion we may ask you to provide personal information voluntarily.

You may also provide us with your personal data when you submit queries or make a report to us (such as an Intellectual Property Report or Counter Notice). For example, we may ask you to provide your name and email address so that we can respond to your queries. If you are making an Intellectual Property Report or Counter-Notice, we ask you to provide your name, address, email address, phone number, and details regarding the intellectual property rights concerned.


If you are a Profile Visitor, a User might request that you provide your email address, mobile number, date of birth or age, or other personal information in order to access elements of a User Profile (such as locked content). We may use the results of such access (i.e. successful or unsuccessful access attempts) to produce aggregated statistics for our own internal purposes and to improve the NXConnect Services.


You may also provide personal information voluntarily if you respond to our surveys, marketing materials, or through your participation in trade promotions and competitions we may run from time to time.

· Information that we collect automatically
When you visit our Platform, use our NXConnect Services, interact with a User Profile, respond to a survey or participate in a trade promotion we collect certain information automatically from your device. In some countries, including countries in the European Economic Area and UK, this information may be considered personal information under applicable data protection laws.

Specifically, the information we collect automatically may include information like your IP address, device type, unique device identification numbers, browser-type, broad geographic location (e.g. country or city-level location), time zone, usage data, diagnostic data and other technical information. We may also collect information about how your device has interacted with our Platform, NXConnect Service or User Profiles, including the pages accessed and links clicked.

Collecting this information enables us to better understand you, where you come from, and what content is of interest to you. We use this information for our internal analytics purposes, to improve the quality and relevance of our Platform and NXConnect Services, to provide hints and tips to our NXConnect Users and to make recommendations of NXConnect Profiles you might be interested in viewing.

Some of this information may be collected using cookies and similar tracking technology, as explained further under the heading “How do we use cookies and similar tracking technology” below.

Further, we may undertake automatic scanning of User Profiles and links to determine whether mandatory or default sensitive content warnings should be applied and presented to Profile Visitors who wish to access the relevant User Profile or linked content, and to determine if any content should be removed or any User Profiles should be suspended in line with our Community Standards and/or Terms of Service. Where a User changes their User Profile, we will also notify relevant Subscribers to that User Profile that updates have been made.

· Information that we obtain from third party sources
From time to time, we may receive personal information about you from third party sources (including from service providers that help us run marketing campaigns or competitions and our partners who help us provide our NXConnect Services). In all cases, we will only receive such data where we have checked that these third parties either have your consent or are otherwise legally permitted or required to disclose your personal information to us.

· Children’s data
Our services are not intended for use by children under the age of 13 (the “Age Limit”). If you are under the Age Limit, please do not use the NXConnect Services and do not provide us with your personal information. If you are a parent or guardian and you are aware that an individual (of whom you are a parent or guardian) under the Age Limit has provided us with personal information, please contact us. We will, upon notice or discovery, take all reasonable efforts to erase or destroy any personal information that may have been collected or stored by us about that individual.

 

Why do we collect your personal information?

In general, we will use the information we collect for the purposes described in this Privacy Notice or for purposes that we explain to you at the time we collect your personal information. These include:

· To provide and deliver the NXConnect Services and to assess, maintain and improve the performance and functionality of the NXConnect Services.

· To ensure the NXConnect Services are relevant to you and your device, to notify you about changes to the NXConnect Services, and to deliver targeted and/or localized content based on your user data, location and preferences.

· For consumer research and to allow you to participate in surveys or interactive features of the NXConnect Services when you choose to do so.

· To provide customer support and to process and respond to a request, complaint or Intellectual Property Report or Counter Notice that you may have made.

· To monitor the usage of the NXConnect Services and to detect, prevent and address technical issues.

· To conduct business planning, reporting, and forecasting.

· To deliver promotional materials, special offers, and general information about other goods, services, and events which we offer that are similar to those that you have already purchased or enquired about unless you have opted out of receiving such information.

· For the administration of our business including fulfilling and exercising our obligations and rights, exercising or defending legal claims, to comply with our legal obligations and law enforcement requests, and managing the relationship with you.

· To verify your identity and to detect fraud and potential fraud, including fraudulent payments and fraudulent use of the NXConnect Services.

· To include NXConnect User content as part of our advertising and marketing campaigns to promote NXConnect.

· To inform our algorithms so we can deliver the most relevant recommendations to you, including of User Profiles that you may be interested in.

 

Legal basis for processing personal information

Our legal basis for collecting and using personal information described above will depend on the personal information concerned and the specific circumstances in which we collect it.

However, we will normally collect personal information from you only where we have your consent, where we need the personal information to perform a contract with you, or where the processing is in our legitimate interests and not overridden by your data protection interests or fundamental rights and freedoms. In some cases, we may also have a legal obligation to collect personal information from you, or may otherwise need the personal information to protect your vital interests or those of another person.

If we ask you to provide personal information to comply with a legal requirement we will make this clear at the relevant time and advise you whether the provision of your personal information is mandatory or not (as well as of the possible consequences if you do not provide your personal information). As indicated above, we require certain personal information to enter into a contract with you as a NXConnect User. Without your personal information, we will be unable to provide you with NXConnect Services available to NXConnect Users.

If we collect and use your personal information in reliance on our legitimate interests (or those of any third party), this interest will normally be to develop and improve the NXConnect Services, to provide additional functionality, to ensure appropriate security or to implement sensitive content warnings and content moderation. We may have other legitimate interests, and if appropriate, we will make clear to you at the relevant time what those legitimate interests are.

 

Who may we disclose your personal information to?

We may disclose your personal information to the following categories of recipients:

· to our group companies, third party services providers (for example, to support the delivery of, provide functionality on, or help to enhance the security of our Platform or NXConnect Services), or who otherwise process personal information for purposes that are described in this Privacy Notice or notified to you when we collect your personal information. A list of our current group companies and a list of our current service providers and partners. We also facilitate third party payment providers and this is set out in more detail below;

· to the extent we introduce social media log-ins in the future, we may provide personal data to the relevant social media provider to facilitate such log-in;

· to any competent law enforcement body, regulatory, government agency, court, or other third parties where we believe disclosure is necessary (i) as a matter of applicable law or regulation, (ii) to exercise, establish or defend our legal rights, or (iii) to protect your vital interests or those of any other person;

· to an actual or potential buyer (and its agents and advisers) in connection with any actual or proposed purchase, merger, or acquisition of any part of our business, provided that we inform the buyer it must use your personal information only for the purposes disclosed in this Privacy Notice; and

· to any other person with your consent to the disclosure.

 

Disclosure of personal information to other countries

Your personal information may be transferred to, and processed in, countries other than the country in which you are a resident. These countries may have data protection laws that are different to the laws of your country (and, in some cases, may not be as protective).

Specifically, NXConnect may transfer personal information to the United States and other countries in which we do business. NXConnect may also subcontract certain activities and share your personal information with third parties located outside of United States (which is where we are headquartered).

The countries in which these organizations are located will vary, but, in the course of our business operations, we generally disclose personal information to organizations located in the United States. Such transfers are made in order to provide the NXConnect Services and carry out the activities specified in this Privacy Notice.

However, we have taken appropriate safeguards to ensure that your personal information will remain protected in accordance with this Privacy Notice and applicable data protection laws. These include entering into data transfer agreements between our group companies and these can be provided on request. We have implemented similar appropriate safeguards with our third-party service providers and partners and further details can be provided upon request. No transfer of your personal information will take place to an organization or another country unless we believe there to be adequate controls in place including the security of your data and other personal information.

How do we use cookies and similar tracking technology?

We use cookies and similar tracking technology (collectively, “Cookies”) to collect and use personal information about you. For further information about the types of Cookies we use, why, and how you can control Cookies, please see our https://www.nxlvl.app/privacy/

How long do we retain your personal information?

We will retain your personal information for the period necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Notice and in each case in accordance with applicable legal and regulatory requirements in respect of permitted or required retention periods and limitation periods relevant to legal action.

How do we secure your personal information?

We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal information from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorized way, altered or disclosed.

In addition, we limit access to your personal information to employees, agents, contractors, and other third parties who have a business need for access. They will only process your personal information on our instructions and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality.

While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security. Therefore, we have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected personal information breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a breach where we are legally required to do so.

Complaints

We take your privacy concerns seriously. If you have a complaint regarding our handling of your personal information or concerning our privacy practices, you may file a complaint with us using the contact details provided under the support@nXlvl.app heading below. We will confirm receipt of your complaint and, if we believe necessary, we will open an investigation.

 

We may need to contact you to request further details of your complaint. If an investigation has been opened following a complaint made by you, then we will contact you with the result as soon as possible. In the unlikely circumstances we are unable to resolve your complaint to your satisfaction, you may contact the local privacy and data protection authorities in your jurisdiction.

We may update our Privacy Notice from time to time in response to changing legal, technical or business developments.

You have the right to not be treated in a discriminatory manner for exercising your privacy rights. We do not use the fact that you have exercised or requested to exercise any privacy rights for any purpose other than facilitating a response to your request.

· If you want to request any information about how we process, store or use your data or anything relating to personal information and privacy laws, contact us on above email.

Once we receive your request, we are required to verify that you are the person that is the subject of the request. This verification process consists of matching identifying information provided by you with the information we have about you in our records. Upon making a request, you will be asked to provide your name, email address, and request details. A confirmation email will be sent to the email address you provide to begin the process to verify your identity. If we cannot verify your identity, we will not be able to respond to your request.
