At NexusDB, we take your privacy seriously. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our platform, website, and services.
Please read this policy carefully. By accessing or using NexusDB, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with our policies and practices, do not use our services.
Information We Collect
We collect information you provide directly to us when you: create an account, use our services, communicate with our support team, participate in surveys or promotions, or apply for employment. This may include your name, email address, phone number, company name, billing information, job title, and any other information you choose to share.
We also automatically collect certain information when you use our services: device information (IP address, browser type, operating system), usage data (pages visited, features used, time spent), performance metrics (query latency, error rates, throughput), and cookies and similar tracking technologies.
When you use NexusDB to store and process data, we act as a data processor. The content you store in our databases is your data, and we only process it according to your instructions.
How We Use Information
We use the information we collect to: provide, maintain, and improve our services, process transactions and send related communications, respond to your comments, questions, and requests, send technical notices, security alerts, and support messages, monitor and analyze trends, usage, and activities, detect, investigate, and prevent fraudulent transactions and abuse, personalize your experience and deliver relevant content, comply with legal obligations and enforce our agreements.
We process your information based on the following legal grounds: performance of a contract with you, your consent (which you may withdraw at any time), our legitimate business interests, and compliance with legal obligations.
Data Sharing & Disclosure
We do not sell your personal information. We may share your information in the following circumstances:
With your consent: We will share your information when you have given us explicit permission.
Service providers: We engage trusted third-party companies to perform services on our behalf, such as cloud infrastructure hosting (AWS, Azure, GCP), payment processing (Stripe), customer support (Zendesk), email delivery (SendGrid), and analytics (Mixpanel). These providers are contractually bound to protect your information.
Legal requirements: We may disclose your information if required to do so by law or in response to valid legal requests by public authorities.
Business transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will notify you via email and/or a prominent notice on our website.
Data Security
NexusDB takes data security extremely seriously. We implement a comprehensive security program that includes:
Encryption: All data is encrypted at rest using AES-256-GCM and in transit using TLS 1.3. We support customer-managed encryption keys (BYOK) for enterprise customers.
Access controls: We enforce strict access controls based on the principle of least privilege. All access to production systems requires multi-factor authentication and is logged and audited.
Infrastructure security: Our infrastructure runs on SOC 2, ISO 27001, and FedRAMP-compliant cloud providers. We perform regular vulnerability scans, penetration tests, and security assessments.
Incident response: We have a dedicated security incident response team that follows industry best practices for detection, containment, eradication, and recovery.
Employee training: All employees undergo regular security awareness training and are bound by confidentiality agreements.
While we implement robust security measures, no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure. We encourage you to enable additional security features such as multi-factor authentication and API key rotation.
