Information Governed by this Privacy Statement

This Privacy Statement applies only to information collected through the Website, and it does not govern any information you may provide to Next Gen by phone or otherwise. “Personal Data” means any information that relates to an identified or identifiable individual. For the purposes of GDPR (“General Data Protection Regulation”), Personal Data means any information relating to you, such as a name, an identification number, location data, online identifier, or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity. For the purposes of CCPA (“California Consumer Privacy Act”), Personal Data means any information that identifies, relates to, describes or is capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly with you.

Collection of Your Information

Optional Voluntary Information. In order to request a demo, request information about our products and services, or otherwise contact Next Gen through the Website, you may be required to voluntarily submit certain Personal Data  such as your name, school or university name, company name, and email address. The use of these functions through the Website is purely optional, so you are not required to submit any Personal Data through the Website if you do not wish to contact Next Gen for these or other purposes.

Usage Data. Next Gen may track user traffic patterns and content accessed throughout the Website. This information allows Next Gen to better tailor its content to its users’ needs and to help its affiliated companies, advertisers and property owners to better understand its audience.

Information Sent to Next Gen by Your Web Browser. Next Gen may collect information that is sent to Next Gen  automatically by your web browser, such as your IP address, the address of the web page you were visiting when you accessed the Website, information on your operating system and browser, and the date and time of your visit. Such information does not by itself identify you personally. In addition, Next Gen may review its server logs for security purposes, such as detecting intrusions into its network.

In order to improve your experience when using the Website, Next Gen or its current or future service providers may place a text file called a “cookie” on your computer, which may store preferences or other information, and may be used to help personalize your experience when using the Website.

You can refuse cookies by turning them off in your browser or from the “Cookie Consent” banner on the Website. If you’ve set your browser to warn you before accepting cookies, you will receive the warning message with each cookie. Disabling cookies may result in errors while using the Website. Because there is not yet a common standard regarding how to interpret web browser based “do not track” signals, the Website does not currently respond to undefined “do not track” signals. The Website does not contain cookies or mechanisms to track users across their use of other websites.
