4. Data storage, transfer, retention, and deletion

Where is my Information stored?

Information submitted to Nextgenediting will be transferred to, processed, and stored in the United Kingdom. If you post or transfer any Information to or through our Site and/or Services, you are agreeing to such Information, including Personal Data and User Content, being hosted and accessed in the United Kingdom.

How secure is my Information?

Nextgenediting is committed to protecting the security of your Information and takes reasonable precautions to protect it. However, internet data transmissions, whether wired or wireless, cannot be guaranteed to be 100% secure, and, as a result, we cannot ensure the security of Information you transmit to us, including Personal Data and User Content; accordingly, you acknowledge that you do so at your own risk.

We use industry-standard encryption to protect your data in transit. This is commonly referred to as transport layer security (“TLS”) or secure socket layer (“SSL”) technology.

Once we receive your data, we protect it on our servers using a combination of technical, physical, and logical security safeguards. We also recommend that you take appropriate steps to secure all computing devices that you use in connection with our Site and Services.

If Nextgenediting learns of a security system breach, we may attempt to notify you and provide information on protective steps, if available, through the email address that you have provided to us or by posting a notice on the Site. Depending on where you live, you may have a legal right to receive such notices in writing.

How can I delete my Personal Data from Nextgenediting?

You can remove your Personal Data from Nextgenediting at any time by contacting us by email at enquiries@nextgenediting.com or writing to us at the address above.

How long is Personal Data retained?

You can remove your Personal Data from Nextgenediting at any time by contacting us as described above. However, we may keep some of your Personal Data for as long as reasonably necessary for our legitimate business interests, including fraud detection and prevention and to comply with our legal obligations including tax, legal reporting, and auditing obligations.

5. For EEA users

Nextgenediting uses, processes, and stores Personal Data, including those listed in the “What Information does Nextgenediting collect about me?” section, as necessary to perform our contract with you, and based on our legitimate interests in order to provide the Services.
