1. Introduction
This Privacy Policy describes how NextDev, Inc., doing business as NextDCX (“NextDCX,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), collects, uses, discloses, and safeguards information in connection with its services. NextDCX sources, screens, and introduces candidates to data center businesses and recruiting partners in connection with hiring opportunities (the “Sourcing Service” or the “Services”). By accessing the Services, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Policy.
2. Information we collect
Candidate information
- Identity and contact details you provide, such as your name, email address, and location.
- Professional information, including your résumé or CV, employment and education history, and links to public profiles (e.g., LinkedIn, GitHub).
- Results and artifacts from AI-assisted coding assessments you elect to complete, including submitted code, prompts, and evaluation scores.
Client and recruiting partner information
- Business contact details for representatives of companies engaging us to hire, such as name, work email, and company name.
- Hiring requirements, role specifications, and other information you submit through our intake forms or in correspondence.
Information collected automatically
- Standard server logs (IP address, timestamps, requested URLs, and user-agent), used for security and abuse prevention.
- Privacy-conscious, first-party analytics (such as page views and country-level location). We do not employ cross-site tracking, advertising trackers, or device fingerprinting.
3. How we use information
- To operate the Sourcing Service — sourcing, screening, and presenting candidates to hiring companies or recruiting partners and facilitating placements.
- To communicate with you, respond to inquiries, and process disputes or correction requests.
- To maintain, improve, and secure the Services and to detect and prevent fraud or abuse.
- To comply with legal obligations and enforce our agreements.
4. How we share information
- Candidate profiles, résumés, and screening notes are shared with hiring companies or recruiting partners as part of the Sourcing Service, undertaken with the candidate's participation. Where a recruiting partner is involved, that partner may submit them to its hiring client.
- Client and recruiting partner information is used and shared only as necessary to fulfill a placement engagement.
- We share information with service providers that operate the Services (e.g., hosting, email, analytics, and AI model providers) solely to the extent necessary to provide the Services.
- We do not sell personal information, and we do not share it with advertising networks.
- We may disclose information where required by law or where reasonably necessary to protect the rights, property, or safety of NextDCX, our users, or the public.
5. Cookies and similar technologies
We use cookies for authentication on account and administrative tooling and for first-party analytics. We do not use third-party advertising cookies or trackers. Most browsers allow you to refuse or delete cookies; doing so may affect certain features of the Services.
6. Third-party services
The Services rely on third parties to function, including cloud hosting, email providers, first-party analytics, and sourcing and applicant-tracking tools. Each third party maintains its own privacy practices.
7. Data security
We employ industry-standard safeguards, including encryption in transit (HTTPS), access controls limiting who may view production data, and logging of administrative activity. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure; in the event of a data breach affecting your information, we will provide notice as required by applicable law.
8. Data retention
We retain information for as long as necessary to provide the Services and for legitimate business or legal purposes. Candidate, client, and recruiting partner information is retained for the duration of our relationship and thereafter as required for record-keeping, and is deleted upon a verified request unless we are required to retain it. Server logs are retained for up to 90 days.
9. Your rights and choices
Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to access, correct, delete, or restrict the processing of your personal information, and to request a copy of it. Residents of the European Economic Area and the United Kingdom have rights under the GDPR; residents of California have rights under the CCPA/CPRA. To exercise any right, contact us at
matt@nextdcx.com. Subject to identity verification, we will respond within the timeframe required by applicable law (generally within 30 to 45 days).
10. International data transfers
NextDCX is based in the United States, and the Services are operated there. If you access the Services from outside the United States, you understand that your information will be processed in the United States, where data-protection laws may differ from those of your jurisdiction.
11. Children's privacy
The Services are not directed to children under the age of 18, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If we learn that we have collected such information, we will delete it.
12. Changes to this Policy
We may update this Policy from time to time. When we make material changes, we will revise the “Last updated” date above and, where appropriate, provide additional notice. Your continued use of the Services after an update constitutes acceptance of the revised Policy.
