General
When you install, purchase, download trial or evaluation versions, or register a NexDefender software, or contact us via our website and/or email, we may collect personal information, including your name, address, email address, MAC address, IP address, and product technical attributes. This is done for the purpose of recording the transaction when you engage in activities on our website or within the NexDefender software. When using a payment-processing merchant, we ensure the same strict privacy criteria are in place. We do not knowingly collect personal information from individuals under the age of eighteen. We also offer users the option to receive useful product information (such as updates, alerts, and associated product offerings) via a permission-based emailing platform. We fully protect your privacy and value your trust. We will never sell, rent, lease, or trade your personal information to any third party. Your information will not be shared with a third party in any other way unless NexDefender is legally required to do so. NexDefender may occasionally engage third-party services and may provide certain information, including personal information, to these third parties to perform such services. These third parties have agreed not to disclose or use your information for any other purpose and are required to implement or adopt a Privacy Policy that is no less stringent than NexDefender’s Privacy Policy. You may opt out of receiving emails from us at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link in the email.

Security Measures
We prioritize the security of your personal information. We employ a variety of security measures to safeguard the data we collect and process. These measures include encryption, firewalls, secure servers, and access controls. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal data, no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
