This data may include information such as your computer’s Internet Protocol (“IP”) address, location information derived from your IP address, browser type, browser version, the time and date of your visit, page visits, the time spent on those pages and other statistics. When you access by or through a mobile device, we also collect information such as the following: the type of mobile device you use, your mobile device’s unique device ID, the IP address of your mobile device, your mobile operating system, the type of mobile Internet browser you use, and your general location information.

4. Use of Cookies

Some parts of NextBuyer’s website may use cookies, which are files or identifying “markers” on a user’s computer for identification and personalization purposes. We may use cookies in order to determine the usefulness of our site information to our users and to see how effective our navigational structure is in helping users reach that information and for other purposes. Some of the NextBuyer product automatic data collection is facilitated by cookies and similar technologies. These technologies may facilitate analytics and help operate the product. Visitors are not required to accept cookies. However, if they reject cookies, certain functionality of the NextBuyer product may not work properly (if at all).

5. Do-Not-Track Disclosure

Do Not Track (“DNT”) is a privacy preference that you can set in certain web browsers. We do not recognize or respond to browser-initiated DNT signals, as the Internet industry is currently still working toward defining exactly what DNT means, what it means to comply with DNT, and a common approach to responding to DNT.

6. Sharing Information

Unless authorized by you, we will not share any information that you provide us with third parties except to allow such parties to assist or facilitate in the services we provide to you, enforce an agreement, or protect our rights. We may also share information with a parent, affiliated, or successor entity. We may also provide information relating to your use of the website on an aggregate basis to third parties to provide services, such as site analytics.

We only allow our service providers to handle your personal information if we are satisfied they take appropriate measures to protect your personal information. We also impose contractual obligations on service providers relating to ensure they can only use your personal information to provide services to us and to you. We may also share personal information with external auditors. We may disclose and exchange information with law enforcement agencies and regulatory bodies to comply with our legal and regulatory obligations.

International Data Transfers. You agree that all information processed by us may be transferred, processed, and stored anywhere in the world, including but not limited to, the United States or other countries, which may have data protection laws that are different from the laws where you live.
