NexJ Systems (“NexJ”) is committed to respecting the privacy of our web-site users. This document describes our practices regarding the collection, use and sharing of your ‘personal data’, defined as information concerning any living person (a natural person who hereafter will be called the Data Subject) that is not already in the public domain.

About NexJ

NexJ is a vendor of enterprise customer management software solutions to businesses. This web-site is intended to provide information to our customers, partners and potential customers and partners. Our software is not intended to be sold to individual consumers and we expect that users of our web-site will be individuals acting in their capacity as employees or contractors of the business they represent who desire further information about NexJ and its products and services for business purposes. The nature of our business makes it extremely unlikely that anyone under the age of majority will register on our web-site.

Personal Data

NexJ uses the information collected from you to send to you marketing and product information which NexJ believes may be of interest to you or your company.  You will be given an opportunity to opt-in to receiving information about NexJ’s promotions and products.

How do we collect personal data?

NexJ collects personal data when you register with NexJ for a NexJ account as a customer, potential customer or guest user, when you use certain NexJ products or services, when you register to attend a seminar or participate in an online forum or survey, when you ask to be included in an email or other mailing list, or you submit an entry for promotions, or when you submit your personal contact information to NexJ for any other reason. From time to time, NexJ receives personal data from business partners and vendors or contact information from vendors of lists or other third parties.

NexJ may supplement the personal data that you provide to us via the web-site or we receive from third parties with public information available on the internet from your employer’s web-site, from business networking web-sites like LinkedIn and from information gathered by communicating with you by telephone, email or in person.

This information may include the URL of the web-site that you just came from, which URL you next go to and what browser you are using (“IP Information”).

What personal data do we collect from individuals?

NexJ uses a customized version of its own CRM software internally to store personal data about web-site users, comprising business contact information including your name, title, business address, business email and business telephone number (“Personal Contact Information”). NexJ may also collect publically available information like biographical information from your employer’s web-site or information from your profile on business networking sites like LinkedIn. NexJ uses the relationship hierarchy feature of its CRM software to maintain information about your professional relationships such as your employer or previous employer, your administrative assistant, your boss or relationships to other organizations that you may have such as participation in industry groups. If you have a publically available photograph or you provide us with a photograph NexJ may store a photograph with your Personal Contact Information. NexJ may also store additional personal data like interests with your Personal Contact Information.

NexJ collects IP information related to your use of our web-site including how you found the web-site, what pages you view and how long you spend on the web-site.

How do we use your Personal Contact Information?

The primary use of your Personal Contact Information and IP Information is to maintain strong business relationships with our customers, partners and potential customers and partners. During the sales process NexJ uses a strategic selling methodology to identify sales opportunities and establish and maintain the relationships with the employees and agents of the potential customer required to manage a complex sales process. For customers and partners, NexJ uses Personal Contact Information and IP Information to maintain its relationships with the individuals necessary to meet its contractual obligations to its customers and partners and ensure that it provides them with a world class customer experience.
