At Next Play, we are committed to maintaining the confidentiality and security of any personal information about our users. Your privacy is always at the top of our priorities. This Privacy Statement explains who we are and spells out how we collect, use, and disclose personal information from or about you and how to exercise your privacy rights. If you have any questions or concerns about our use of your personal information, please contact us using the details provided at the bottom of this Privacy Statement.

About Us

Next Play is headquartered in San Francisco, CA. If you are a resident in the European Economic Area ("EEA"), UK or Switzerland, the controller of your personal information is Next Play Talent Company.

What Does this Privacy Statement Cover?

This Privacy Statement applies to our collection, use and disclosure of personal information that we collect from you or that you provide when you engage with Next Play, our website "nextplay.so" (the "Website") or the Next Play network and services (the "Next Play Service") (together the "Services").

Next Play Users can access the Next Play Service via our website nextplay.so, applications on Devices, APIs, and third-parties. This Privacy Statement only applies where we are processing personal information for our own purposes. It does not cover the personal information Next Play collects, uses and discloses on behalf of its Clients ("Client Data") in connection with the Next Play Service and we invite you to contact the relevant company or organization if you have any questions about their privacy practices.

The Information We Collect

The personal information we collect broadly falls within the following categories:

Information you provide voluntarily

Certain parts of our Website or Next Play Service ask you to provide certain information voluntarily. This typically includes:

  • Identification information, such as your name, company and job title.
  • Contact information, such as your phone number, email address, and business postal addresses.
  • Log-in credentials, such as your username and password to access the Next Play Services.

Information we collect automatically

Like most companies that offer online services, we may automatically collect certain information from your computer or device about your use of the Next Play Service or our Website. We use this information to provide our Services, ensure the security of our Services, help improve our Services and promote our Services to you. This typically includes:

  • Cookies data: We collect certain information through cookies and other tracking technologies such as your computer or device's Internet Protocol ("IP") address, browser type, locale preferences and identification numbers associated with your devices.
  • Location data: We may derive your general location based on your IP address.
  • Activity data: We may also collect information about how you use and interact with our Services, such as the content you view or download and the actions you take and the time and duration of your activities.

Information we obtain from third-party sources

From time to time, we may receive personal information about you from third-party sources but only when these third parties have confirmed to us that they either have your consent or are otherwise legally permitted or required to disclose this information to us. This typically includes:

  • Data Supplementation: We may receive additional demographic information (including your company, job title or business contact details) about you from other sources, including publicly available databases or third parties from whom we have purchased data.
  • Sign-in information: If you log in to our Services using a third-party sign-in service, we will collect information from that sign-in service that you give us permission to receive.

LinkedIn Authentication

Next Play offers the ability to register and log in using your LinkedIn account. If you choose to use LinkedIn authentication:

  • We may collect information from your LinkedIn profile that you have made publicly available, such as your name, profile picture, headline, current position, and company.
  • With your explicit permission, we may also access your email address, education history, work experience, and other professional details to enhance your Next Play experience and customize our service.
  • We will never post to LinkedIn on your behalf without your express permission.
  • You can revoke Next Play's access to your LinkedIn account at any time through your LinkedIn account settings.
  • The information we collect through LinkedIn authentication is subject to this Privacy Policy, while information you provide directly to LinkedIn is governed by LinkedIn's privacy policy.

How We Use Personal Information

We use personal information about you for the purposes detailed below:

  • Sending promotional and marketing information to you in accordance with your marketing preferences.
  • Sending technical notices, updates, security alerts, and other support and administrative messages to our Next Play Users.
  • Providing technical and customer support to Next Play Users.
  • Responding to questions, requests and feedback from those that interact with us.
  • Managing events, including webinars for which you have registered.
  • Detecting, preventing and responding to potential fraud, violations of our terms and conditions or other misuse of our Services.
  • Complying with legal obligations.
  • Personalizing your experience and providing tailored content when you use our LinkedIn authentication, such as suggesting relevant job candidates based on your industry or company size.

Disclosure of Your Personal Information

We may disclose your personal information to the following categories of recipients:

  • Vendors, service providers and partners who provide data processing services to us (including data storage, maintenance services, database management, web analytics, payment processing, and improvement of the Service's features).
  • Third-Party Applications that you authorize to receive your information.
  • Law enforcement agencies when required by law or to protect our rights.
  • Potential buyers in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or a portion of our assets.
  • LinkedIn (limited information may be exchanged as part of the authentication process), but only as necessary to provide the authentication service.

International Data Transfers

Next Play is a US company and our service providers are located in the US and other countries. This means that your personal information may be transferred to, and processed in, countries other than the country in which you are located. These countries may have data protection laws that are different to the laws of your country (and, in some cases, may not be as protective).

However, we take appropriate safeguards to ensure that your information remains protected in accordance with this Privacy Statement and applicable data protection laws.

Data Protection Rights

Depending on your location and applicable data protection laws, you may have certain rights with regard to the personal information we control about you:

  • Account information: If you are registered with us, you may review, update, correct, or delete certain personal information provided in your registration or account profile.
  • Account closure: If you no longer desire to use our Next Play Service, you may delete your account by reaching out to recruiting@nextplay.so directly.
  • Direct marketing: You can opt-out from marketing communications that we send at any time by clicking on the "unsubscribe" or "opt-out" link in the marketing communications we send.
  • LinkedIn connection: You can disconnect your LinkedIn account from NextPlay at any time through your account settings or by contacting us directly.
  • Additional rights: Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, rectify, port, restrict processing, or delete your personal information.

Data Retention

Next Play will retain personal data we process about Next Play Users for as long as we have a legitimate business purpose to do so. If you wish to cancel your account or request that we no longer use your information to provide you Services, you may delete your account. We may retain your personal data for longer where there is a legal, tax or accounting obligation, contractual, or legitimate interest, including resolving disputes and enforcing our agreements and rights.

When you disconnect your LinkedIn account, we will no longer actively collect information from your LinkedIn profile, but we may retain information previously collected in accordance with this privacy policy and applicable laws.

Security

Next Play stresses its privacy and security standards. Although no one can guarantee absolute security, we regularly re-evaluate our privacy and security policies in order to adapt to new challenges. We follow generally accepted standards to protect the information submitted to us, both during transmission and once we receive it.

Changes to our Privacy Statement

We may update this Privacy Statement from time to time. If we make a material change to this Privacy Statement, we will provide you with notice (for example, by email, a sign-in notification, or some other means) and obtain your consent if and where this is required by applicable data protection law prior to the change becoming effective.
