How NEXQLOUD Collects Information and the Types of Information Collected

Any time you use NEXQLOUD’s Sites or Services, information is generated. Some of this information is considered “Personal Information,” meaning information that either directly identifies you individually (like email or billing information) or could reasonably be used to identify you in combination with other data. Other information is considered “Anonymous Information,” meaning information that does not directly identify, and cannot reasonably be linked with other data to identify you individually.

NEXQLOUD collects information from you in the following ways:

‍

A. YOU PROVIDE THE INFORMATION TO US

When you visit or use our Sites or Services, you may provide us with information about yourself, your business, or your website. For example, if and when you set up a new NEXQLOUD account, you will be prompted by us to provide us with certain personal information in association with the matrix nickname, PGP key, or GitHub account you are attempting to verify. You also understand that some of that non-personal information you provide to us may be aggregated and anonymized with other users to present nomination and voting results.

If your account is verified then you will be able to submit information relating to the nomination and voting on behalf of yourself. You consent to the publication of the non-personal information or anonymous information you provide us about your choices and you understand that it may be published online and available to the public in an aggregated and anonymized format.

‍

Personal information we request from you may include:

• Email address
• GitHub user name
• PGP key (public)
• Crypto Currency Wallet Address

If your account is verified up to a certain point, you will be required to provide certain tax information as stated in a 1099-MISC or a W8-BEN form including:

• First and last name
• Social security number/Foreign tax identification number/Employer Identification number/or tax identification number
• Address
• Telephone number

‍

How NEXQLOUD Uses and Shares Personal Information with Third Parties

NEXQLOUD uses your personal information for a number of reasons including provisioning, maintaining, and improving the Sites and Services, as well as for the development of new services. For example, NEXQLOUD uses your information to administer your account, provide technical support, and to communicate with you about your account. NEXQLOUD may also, with your consent, use your information to send you updates about the NEXQLOUD community. Other than as described above, NEXQLOUD does not use your Personal Information, nor does it share your personal information with any third-parties, unless one of the following circumstances apply:

• NEXQLOUD has your express consent; and
• It is for NEXQLOUD’s internal use, research, and product development;
• External processing by our affiliates or other trusted third parties we use to support our business based on our instructions or other appropriate confidentiality and security measures (for example, companies that help NEXQLOUD improve its website’s usability, verify your account, or understand customer interests); or
• Detection, prevention, or otherwise addressing fraud, security, or other legal related issues.

Note that NEXQLOUD may share anonymously collected information with third parties. NEXQLOUD may also share Personal Information with companies, organizations, or individuals outside of NEXQLOUD if we have a good-faith belief that access, use, preservation, or disclosure of the information is reasonably necessary to:

• Meet any applicable law, regulation, legal process, or enforceable governmental request;
• Enforce applicable agreements or adherence to terms and conditions, including investigation of potential criminal law violations; and
• Protect against harm to the rights, property, or safety of NEXQLOUD, our users, third parties, or the public as required or permitted by law.

If NEXQLOUD is involved in a merger, acquisition, or asset sale, we will continue to ensure the confidentiality of any Personal Information and give affected users notice before Personal Information is transferred or becomes subject to a different privacy policy.

NEXQLOUD shall not sell nor license your Personal Information to a third party for that third party’s own direct marketing purposes.
