5. Cookies and Similar Technology

We use cookies and other identification technologies to deliver and improve the Services and to enhance customer experience.

5.1 Through Our Digital Properties

  • Cookies: Cookies are small text files stored on a visitor’s web browser and applications. Cookies are often used to make browsing easier by performing functions such as saving passwords and maintaining lists of personal preferences regarding the use of the website.

    • Strictly Necessary Cookies: These cookies are essential to enable you to browse our websites, apps, and Services and use the available features.

    • Functionality Cookies: These cookies allow our websites, apps, and Services to remember choices you make while browsing, such as geographic location and preferences such as text size and fonts.

    • Performance Cookies: These cookies collect information about how you use our websites, apps, and Services. For instance, these cookies track which pages you visit most. This data may be used to help optimize our websites, apps, and Services and make it easier for you to navigate within them.

    • Analytics Cookies: These cookies track your activity on our websites, apps, and Services. We may use these cookies to provide advertisements to you. These cookies can be disabled through the pop-up banner on our website or by clicking the “Your Privacy Choices” or “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” link in our website footer.

  • Other identification technologies that may be used by NFI Services:

    • Pixel tags (also called beacons or pixels): These are first- or third-party tags installed on (or called by) a webpage or application. Pixel tags can retrieve certain information about your device and browser including device type, operating system, browser type and version, website visited, time of visit, referring website, IP address, and other similar information. NFI uses pixel tags to identify conversions of users on our website and to assess certain website activity or events such as when a user fills out a form or clicks on a link.

    • Software Development Kits (SDKs): These function like pixels and cookies but operate in the mobile application context where pixels and cookies cannot always function. The application developer can install pieces of code (the SDK) into the application to collect certain information about user interaction with the application and information about the user device and network information.

  • First and third-party technologies: We may use first-party cookies or other tracking technologies as described above – these cookies or technologies originate from the same domain as the website you’re currently visiting (i.e., www.nexusflowinnovations.com). NFI may also use third-party service providers who are authorised to place cookies, pixel tags, or similar technologies on our Services with our permission. These technologies help us compile metrics and analytics to help improve our Services. Third-party cookies and technologies are covered by the third party’s privacy notice.

5.2 Through Our Brands/Customers

When you use NFI’s Services through a Brand, be aware that NFI’s systems are designed to handle cookie management in accordance with data subject consent. However, it is our Brand’s responsibility to obtain (and maintain) your consent before using our platform’s cookies and related technologies on the Brand’s websites. Given that our Brands may differ in their implementation of our product, you should consult with them directly regarding their use of NFI’s product-related cookies.

5.3 How to Control Cookies

Web browsers are usually set to accept cookies. However, if you prefer not to receive cookies, you can set your browser to either notify you when you receive a cookie or refuse cookies altogether. You can also delete cookies from your browser. If you choose to refuse cookies, this may cause some features of our Services not to operate properly and affect your experience.

5.4 Do Not Track

Some web browsers may give you the ability to enable a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that sends signals to the websites you visit, indicating that you do not want your online activities to be tracked. NFI currently does not respond to DNT signals. As there is no uniform standard for how to interpret and respond to DNT signals, we will continue to monitor and review DNT and may adopt a standard once it is established. For more information about DNT, visit allaboutdnt.com.

8. How Does NFI Secure My Information?

We take data security seriously and built our platform with security in mind. User data is end-to-end encrypted, and uploaded files are securely stored in encrypted S3 buckets. We have “zero data retention” agreements with our model providers (Open AI and Anthropic) to ensure that data is not stored or used for training purposes. We use security measures designed to protect against the loss, misuse, and alteration of the information under our control. Our systems are hardened against intrusion with a robust defence strategy incorporating industry-standard security controls in all its products and services.

We also offer various supplementary measures available to our Brands, upon request, including additional encryption and data masking options. If you are communicating with a Brand, you should review the privacy practices of that Brand to understand which security measures they use.

9. Data Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, including to satisfy any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. When determining the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure, the purposes for which we process the data, and applicable legal requirements.

10. Additional mobile considerations

If you use our mobile applications, access our mobile-optimized websites, or interact with a Brand using our Services on a mobile platform, we may receive information about your mobile device, including a unique identifier.

Opt-out instructions are provided for SMS messages received from NFI or a Brand, and contact details are offered for further assistance. If you no longer wish to receive SMS messages from us or a Brand, please follow the opt-out instructions included in the message or contact the Brand directly.

11. NFI Communities, Message Boards, and Blogs

Information you share on NFI communities, message boards, or blogs becomes publicly accessible and can be read, collected, copied, and used by other users for any purposes at their discretion.

However, NFI will comply with data subject requests related to your use of such platforms as required by law. We strongly advise you to exercise caution when sharing any personal information on these platforms.

12. International Data Transfers
