Next
Innovations, Ltd,
Internet site located at
http://www.nextinnovations.net recognizes the importance of
protecting the privacy of personally identifiable information
collected about visitors to our site. As a general policy, no
personally identifiable information, such as your name, address
or email address, is automatically collected from visitors to
our site. Personally identifiable information about visitors to
our sites is collected only when knowingly and voluntarily
submitted.
We may collect
certain non-personal information to optimize our web pages for
your computer (i.e., the identity of your Internet browser, the
type of operating system you use, and the domain name of your
Internet service provider). We may use such non-personal
information for internal purposes, including but not limited to
improving the content of our sites.
In those
instances when we do collect personally identifiable
information, the following policies apply:
Information Collection and Use
Next
Innovations, Ltd.
is the sole owner of the information collected on
this site. We will not sell, share, or rent this information to
any other party in any way shape or form.
Next Innovations
Ltd.
only collects information from registered users. The
nextinnovations.net
site is not directed to children, and does not
knowingly collect any personal information from children.
Registration
In order to purchase from
nextinnovations.net,
a user must first complete the registration form. Required
information to process orders include: name, email address,
street address, and phone number. This information is essential
for customer’s orders to be processed and delivered.
Cookies
A cookie is a piece of data stored on the user’s hard drive
containing information about the user. Usage of a cookie is in
no way linked to any personally identifiable information while
on our site. Once the user closes their browser, the cookie
simply terminates. For instance, by setting a cookie on our
site, the user would not have to log in a password more than
once, thereby saving time while on our site. If a user rejects
the cookie, they may still use our site. The only drawback to
this is that the user will be limited in some areas of our site.
Cookies can also enable us to track and target the interests of
our users to enhance the experience on our site.
Log Files
We use IP addresses to analyze trends, administer the site, track
user’s movement, and gather broad demographic information for
aggregate use. IP addresses are not linked to personally
identifiable information. Please note that the access logs
collected for
nextinnovations.net
contain more information than just IP addresses. They also let us
know what operating system/Internet browser you use and what
pages on our site you have viewed. As with your IP address, this
information is not linked to personally identifiable information
and is used in aggregate to ensure the functionality of the site
for our visitors.
Sharing
We use FedEx to ship orders, and PayPal and Escrow.com to handle all
financial transactions. These companies do not retain, share, store or
use personally identifiable information for any secondary purposes.
Shipping from nextinnovations.net is handled by UPS (unless requested
otherwise by a customer), which requires a physical street address. UPS
will not deliver to a Post Office Box and requires a signature upon
receipt of all packages.
Providing an absolutely secure environment for all
financial transactions is of primary importance to
www.nextinnovations.net.
To this end, unless requested otherwise by a customer, we
conduct all transactions through either PayPal (the secure
account-based online payment system) or MIVA (secure
account-based online payment system). We believe this is the
best way to protect our customer’s consumer rights, privacy and
security.

Links
This web site contains links to other sites. Please be aware
that we at
Next Innovations, Ltd.
are not responsible for the privacy practices of such other
sites. We encourage our users to be aware when they leave our
site and to read the privacy statements of each and every web
site that collects personally identifiable information. This
privacy statement applies solely to information collected by
this website.
Newsletter
If a user wishes to subscribe to our newsletter, we ask for
contact information such as name and email address.
Surveys & Contests
From time-to-time our site requests information from users via
surveys or contests. Participation in these surveys or contests
is completely voluntary and the user therefore has a choice
whether or not to disclose this information. Information
requested may include contact information (such as name and
shipping address), and demographic information (such as zip
code, age level). Contact information will be used to notify the
winners and award prizes. Survey information will be used for
purposes of monitoring or improving the use and satisfaction of
this site.
Security
This website takes every precaution to protect our users’
information. When users submit information via the website, your
information is protected both online and off-line.
All of our users’ information is restricted in our offices. Only
employees who need the information to perform a specific job
(for example a customer service representative) are granted
access to personally identifiable information. Furthermore, ALL
employees are kept up-to-date on our security and privacy
practices. Every quarter, as well as any time new policies are
added, our employees are notified and/or reminded about the
importance we place on privacy, and what they can do to ensure
our customers’ information is protected. Finally, the servers
that we store personally identifiable information on are kept in
a secure environment.
If you have any questions about the security of your information
at our website, you can send an email to
info@nextinnovations.net.
Special Offers
We send all new members a welcoming email to verify password and
username. Established members will occasionally receive
information on products, services, special deals, and a
newsletter. Out of respect for the privacy of our users we
present the option to not receive these types of communications
when registering.
Correction/Updating Personal Information:
If a user’s personally identifiable information changes (such as
your zip code), or if a user no longer desires our service, we
will endeavor to provide a way to correct, update or remove that
user’s personal data provided to us. This can usually be done at
the
My Account page or by
emailing our Customer Support department (info@nextinnovations.net).
Choice/Opt-out
Our users are given the opportunity to ‘opt-out’ of having their
information used for purposes not directly related to our site
at the point where we ask for the information. For example, our
registration form has an ‘opt-out’ mechanism so users who buy a
product from us, but don’t want any marketing material, can keep
their email address off of our lists.
Users who no longer wish to receive our newsletter may opt-out
of receiving these communications by replying to unsubscribe in
the subject line in the email or email us at
info@nextinnovations.net.
Users of our site are always notified when their information is
being collected by any outside parties. We do this so our users
can make an informed choice as to whether they should proceed
with services that require an outside party, or not.
Notification of Changes
If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post those
changes on our Homepage so our users are always aware of what
information we collect, how we use it, and under what
circumstances, if any, we disclose it. If at any point we decide
to use personally identifiable information in a manner different
from that stated at the time it was collected, we will notify
users by way of an email. Users will have a choice as to whether
or not we use their information in this different manner. We
will use information in accordance with the privacy policy under
which the information was collected.
Contact
If you have any questions about this privacy statement or your
dealings with Next Innovations, Ltd, you may email us at
