This Privacy Policy explains how Next Big Tool ("we", "us", "our") collects, uses, stores, and protects your personal information when you use nextbigtool.com (the "Platform"). By using the Platform, you agree to the practices described in this policy.
We collect information you provide directly when you create an account, submit a product, fill out a form, or contact us. This includes your name, email address, company name, job title, product details, and any other information you choose to share.
We also collect information automatically when you use the Platform, including your IP address, browser type, device type, pages visited, time spent on pages, and referring URLs. This is collected through standard server logs and analytics tools.
If you connect a third-party account such as Google for sign-in, we receive basic profile information from that provider according to their permissions.
We use your information to operate and improve the Platform, process your product submissions, send you account-related emails and notifications, respond to your enquiries, and prevent fraud or abuse.
If you are a Core plan subscriber, we make certain profile information visible to founders whose products you have upvoted or followed — specifically your name, email address, company name, and designation. This is consent-based. You agree to this when you engage with a product on the Platform. You can withdraw this consent at any time from your account settings.
We do not sell your personal data to third parties. We do not use your data for advertising purposes.
When you create an account, you will receive transactional emails related to your account and submissions. You may also receive platform update emails. You can unsubscribe from non-essential emails at any time using the link in any email we send.
If you subscribe to the Next Big Tool newsletter, your email is used solely for that purpose. You can unsubscribe at any time.
Your data is stored using Supabase, a secure cloud database provider. We use industry-standard encryption for data in transit and at rest. We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your data from unauthorised access, loss, or misuse.
No method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure. While we take data security seriously, we cannot guarantee absolute security.
We retain your account data for as long as your account is active. If you delete your account, we will delete your personal data within 30 days, except where we are legally required to retain it.
We use the following third-party services to operate the Platform: Supabase (database and authentication), Vercel (hosting), Resend (transactional email), and Dodo Payments (payment processing). Each of these providers has their own privacy policy governing how they handle data.
We use essential cookies to keep you logged in and to maintain your session. We may use analytics cookies to understand how the Platform is used. You can control cookie settings through your browser.
You have the right to access the personal data we hold about you, request correction of inaccurate data, request deletion of your data, and withdraw consent for data processing where consent is the legal basis. To exercise any of these rights, email contact@nextbigtool.com.
Next Big Tool is not intended for users under the age of 16. We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 16. If you believe we have collected data from a minor, contact us immediately.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify registered users by email of any material changes. Continued use of the Platform after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
