Privacy Policy
Last Updated: January 15, 2025
At Nex CessHost, we understand that your data matters. This policy explains how we handle information when you work with us. We're not lawyers trying to impress other lawyers here. This is written for actual people who want to know what happens with their information.
Who We Are and What This Covers
Nex CessHost is based at 117 W Pacific Ave, Spokane, WA 99201. We provide IT infrastructure security services, and this policy covers all information we collect through our website, services, and client interactions.
This applies whether you're browsing our site, using our services, or just getting in touch to ask questions. If you're in the U.S., you have specific rights under various state laws. We'll get to those.
Information We Collect
What You Give Us Directly
When you reach out or sign up for services, you share information with us. That usually includes:
- Your name and contact information (email, phone number, business address)
- Company details when you're representing an organization
- Technical information about your infrastructure when we're working on security
- Payment information when you become a client
- Anything you include in messages or support requests
Information We Collect Automatically
Like most websites, ours collects some data automatically. This includes your IP address, browser type, and which pages you visit. We use this to understand how people use our site and where we can improve things.
We also collect technical logs when you're using our services. These help us spot security issues, troubleshoot problems, and keep systems running properly.
Information From Other Sources
Sometimes we get information from third parties. If you contact us through a partner or referral source, they might share basic contact details. We also use business intelligence tools that provide publicly available company information.
How We Use Your Information
We use your data for specific purposes. Here's what actually happens with it:
Purpose | What This Means |
---|---|
Service Delivery | Providing the security and infrastructure services you signed up for |
Communication | Responding to inquiries, sending service updates, and technical notifications |
Security Monitoring | Detecting threats, preventing breaches, and maintaining system integrity |
Billing | Processing payments and maintaining financial records |
Improvement | Understanding how services are used and where we can do better |
Legal Compliance | Meeting obligations under U.S. law and industry regulations |
Important: We don't sell your personal information. Period. Our business model is providing services you pay for, not monetizing your data.
Data Storage and Security
Your data is stored on secure servers within the United States. We use industry-standard encryption both in transit and at rest. That means when data moves between systems and when it's sitting in storage.
Our team follows strict access protocols. Not everyone at Nex CessHost can see all data. People only access what they need to do their jobs. We log these accesses and review them regularly.
We also conduct regular security audits and vulnerability assessments. Given what we do for clients, we take our own security pretty seriously.
How Long We Keep Data
We keep your information as long as you're a client, plus a reasonable period after that. "Reasonable" depends on the type of data:
- Financial records: Seven years (IRS requirements)
- Security logs: Typically 90 days to one year
- Client account information: Three years after relationship ends
- Marketing inquiries: Two years if no engagement occurs
If you ask us to delete your data, we'll do so unless there's a legal reason to keep it.
Sharing Your Information
We share data in limited circumstances. Here's the complete list:
Service Providers
We work with vendors who help us run our business. Cloud hosting providers, payment processors, and similar services. These companies only get the data they need to provide their specific service, and they're contractually obligated to protect it.
Business Partners
If you came to us through a partner, we might share basic information about the engagement with them. We don't do this without telling you first.
Legal Requirements
Sometimes we're legally required to share information. Court orders, valid subpoenas, or other legal processes. We review these carefully and push back when they're overly broad.
Business Transfers
If Nex CessHost is acquired or merged with another company, your data would transfer as part of that. You'd be notified if this happens.
Your Rights and Choices
You have several rights regarding your data. These vary somewhat by state, but here's what generally applies:
- Access: You can request a copy of the personal information we have about you
- Correction: If information is wrong, you can ask us to fix it
- Deletion: You can request we delete your data (with some exceptions)
- Portability: You can get your data in a usable format to take elsewhere
- Opt-out: You can stop receiving marketing communications anytime
- Non-discrimination: We won't treat you differently for exercising these rights
To exercise any of these rights, contact us at help@nexcesshost.com. We'll verify your identity and respond within 30 days. Sometimes requests take longer if they're complex, but we'll let you know what's happening.
California Residents: The CCPA gives you additional rights. You can request details about what personal information we've collected, disclosed, or sold in the past 12 months. Again, we don't sell personal information, but you have the right to ask.
Cookies and Tracking
Our website uses cookies. These are small files stored on your device that help the site function and remember your preferences.
We use essential cookies that make the site work properly. Things like remembering you're logged in. We also use analytics cookies to understand site usage. These are aggregated and don't identify you personally.
You can control cookies through your browser settings. Blocking all cookies might affect how the site works, though.
Third-Party Links
Our website might link to other sites. We're not responsible for their privacy practices. When you click away from nexcesshost.com, you're subject to that site's policies.
Children's Privacy
Our services aren't directed at children under 13. We don't knowingly collect information from kids. If we discover we've accidentally collected such information, we delete it immediately.
International Data Transfers
Our operations are based in the United States. If you're accessing our services from outside the U.S., your data will be transferred here. U.S. privacy laws might differ from those in your country.
Changes to This Policy
We update this policy occasionally. When we make significant changes, we'll notify active clients by email. We'll also update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page.
For minor clarifications or technical updates, we might just update the policy without notification. Check back periodically if you want to stay current.
Data Breach Notification
If we experience a data breach that affects your personal information, we'll notify you promptly. This includes details about what happened, what data was involved, and what steps we're taking.
We follow U.S. state breach notification laws, which generally require notification within specific timeframes. We aim to notify affected individuals as quickly as possible once we've assessed the situation.
Questions About Privacy?
If something in this policy isn't clear, or if you have questions about how we handle your data, just reach out. We're happy to explain our practices in more detail.
We respond to privacy inquiries within two business days. If your request is complex, we'll acknowledge receipt and provide a timeline for full response.
