Next You

Welcome to Next You. We are committed to protecting your personal information and your right to privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information in relation to our website, which primarily serves as a landing page for our mobile application. If you have any questions or concerns about our policy, or our practices with regards to your personal information, please contact us at support@nextu.app or via LinkedIn: LinkedIn Profile.

1. Information We Collect

Our website is designed to be informational, providing details about the Next You mobile application and allowing you to submit requests.

Information you provide directly via Email: If you choose to contact us by clicking an email link (e.g., from certain sections of the website), we will collect your email address and any information you voluntarily provide in that email. This interaction is handled by your email client and provider.
Information you provide via our Invite Request Form: If you choose to use our dedicated "Request Invite" form on the website (available at /request-invite), you will be asked to provide your email address and your reasons for wanting to become a tester. This information is submitted directly to us and stored in our secure database (Firestore, provided by Google) to manage tester applications.
Information you provide via our Data Deletion Request Form: If you choose to use our "Request Data Deletion" form (available at /request-data-deletion), you will be asked to provide your email address. This information is submitted directly to us and stored in our secure database (Firestore, provided by Google) to process your data deletion request.
Information collected automatically: Like most websites, our servers may log standard technical information such as your IP address, browser type, and operating system when you visit our site. This data is used for website operation and analytics and is generally not linked to personal identifiers.
No User Accounts or Direct Data Submission (other than for invite and deletion requests to Firestore): This website does not have user account creation or login functionality. Features like CV analysis and AI career chat are part of our mobile application, not this website.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect for the following purposes:

To respond to your inquiries sent via email.
To process and evaluate your application to become a tester if you use our "Request Invite" form. This includes reviewing your provided email address and reasons for interest stored in Firestore.
To process requests for data deletion submitted via our "Request Data Deletion" form. The email address you provide is stored in Firestore to manage this request.
To provide you with information about our Next You mobile application.
To operate, maintain, and improve our website.
To monitor and analyze website usage to understand how visitors interact with our site.

3. Sharing Your Information

We do not sell your personal information. Your information may be shared in limited circumstances:

Email Providers: If you contact us via email, your email data will be processed by your email provider and ours as part of the communication process.
Database Provider (Firestore): Information submitted through our "Request Invite" and "Request Data Deletion" forms is stored in Firestore, a service provided by Google. Google has its own privacy policies and security measures.
Service Providers: We may use third-party service providers for website hosting and analytics. These providers only process data on our behalf and are bound by confidentiality obligations.
Legal Requirements: We may disclose your information if required to do so by law or in response to valid requests by public authorities.

4. Your Data Protection Rights (GDPR Focus)

If you are a resident of the European Economic Area (EEA), you have certain data protection rights. Next You aims to take reasonable steps to allow you to correct, amend, delete, or limit the use of your Personal Data.

Right of Access: You have the right to access the information we hold about you.
Right to Rectification: You have the right to have your information rectified if that information is inaccurate or incomplete.
Right to Erasure (Right to be Forgotten): You have the right to request the deletion of your personal data. You can initiate this request by using the form available at /request-data-deletion. We will process your request in accordance with applicable data protection laws.
Right to Object and Restrict Processing: You have the right to object to our processing of your personal data or request that we restrict the processing of your personal data under certain conditions.
Right to Data Portability: You have the right to be provided with a copy of the information we have on you in a structured, machine-readable, and commonly used format (where technically feasible).
Right to Withdraw Consent: You have the right to withdraw consent at any time where Next You relied on your consent to process your personal information.

To exercise these rights, please contact us at support@nextu.app. We may ask you to verify your identity before responding to such requests.

5. Data Security

We implement reasonable security measures to protect the information we handle. Information submitted via our forms is stored in Firestore, which has robust security features provided by Google. For other data, such as email correspondence, we rely on the security measures of our email providers. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure.

6. Data Retention

We retain personal information (submitted via our forms and stored in Firestore, or received via email) only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected. For tester requests, this includes managing our tester program. For deletion requests, this includes processing the request and maintaining a record if necessary for compliance. We will periodically review the data we hold and delete it when it is no longer needed or upon a valid deletion request, in accordance with legal, accounting, or reporting requirements.

7. Children's Privacy

Our website is not intended for individuals under the age of 16 (or the applicable age of consent in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

8. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Last Updated" date.
