This Privacy Notice (“Notice”) describes the practices of NextBold Capital Management Pte. Ltd. (“NextBold” or “we”) as they pertain to information collected through our websites that link to this Notice (collectively, “Sites”) or in connection with NextBold-sponsored events, conferences and related activities (collectively, “Events”). If you are located in the European Economic Area (“EEA”) or United Kingdom, NextBold is the data controller with respect to the processing of your personal data pursuant to GDPR.

Please read this Notice carefully to understand our information practices with respect to our Sites and Events. If you do not agree to this Notice, then you should not use the Sites or participate in Events.

NextBold may change this Notice from time to time, and any modifications will be effective immediately upon posting, unless indicated otherwise.

Information Collected from Third Parties

We may collect or receive information about you from other sources, including publicly-available websites and resources. We may add this information to the information we have already collected from you through our Sites or Events in order to enhance and improve the services we provide to you, or use such information for our and/or our affiliates’, subsidiaries’ and portfolio companies’ business and operational purposes, such as recruiting.

Information Collected from Social Media and Other Content Platforms

In some cases, you may be able to access Sites via social media or other third-party platforms (such as LinkedIn, Facebook, Google and Twitter). By using these services to connect with us, you may allow us to access information from your social media profile, such as name, gender, and profile picture, consistent with your privacy settings or as allowed by you on that service. If you do not wish to have this information shared, do not use such third-party platforms to access our Sites or Events. Please note that your use of such third-party platforms is governed by those services’ privacy policies. We have no control of, and assume no liability for, the privacy practices of third-party services.

Information We Collect Through Automated Means

We also collect information through automated and technical means as you browse our Sites.

  • Website Usage Information. As you browse the Sites, we and our service providers (which are third party companies that work on our behalf to provide and enhance the Sites) use a variety of technologies, including cookies and similar tools, to assist in collecting information about how you interact with the Sites. For example, our servers automatically record certain information in server logs. These server logs may include information such as your web request, IP address, browser type, domain name and settings, referring / exit pages and URLs, how you interact with links on the Sites, pages viewed, mobile carrier, mobile device identifiers and information about the device you are using to access the Sites and other such information.
  • Location Information. We collect and process general information about the location of the device from which you are accessing the Sites (e.g., approximate geographic location inferred from an IP address).
  • Cookies and Other Tracking Technologies. We and our service providers may also collect data about your use of the Sites through Internet server logs and online tracking technologies, like cookies and/or tracking pixels. A web server log is a file where website activity is stored. A cookie is a small text file that is placed on your computer when you visit a website that enables us to: (a) recognize your computer; (b) understand the web pages of the Site you have visited; (c) recognize repeat users; (d) facilitate the ongoing access to and use of a website; (e) allow the Sites to track usage behavior and compile aggregate data that will allow content improvements and targeted advertising; (f) enhance your user experience by delivering content and advertisements specific to your inferred interests; (g) perform searches and analytics; and (h) assist with security administrative functions.
  • Tracking pixels (sometimes referred to as web beacons or clear GIFs) are electronic tags with a unique identifier embedded in websites, online ads and/or email, and that are designed to provide usage information like ad impressions or clicks, measure popularity of the Sites and associated advertising, and to access user cookies. We and our service providers may also include Web beacons in email messages, newsletters and other electronic communications to determine whether the message has been opened and for other analytics, personalization and advertising. As we and our service providers adopt additional technologies, we may also gather additional information through other methods. You can change your settings to notify you when a cookie is being set or updated, or to block cookies altogether. Please consult the “Help” section of your browser for more information (e.g., Internet Explorer; Google Chrome; Mozilla Firefox; or Apple Safari). However, note that by blocking any or all cookies, you may not have access to certain features or offerings on the Sites.

Use of Personal Information

We may use the Personal Information we collect from and about you through the Sites and in connection with Events for the following business and commercial purposes:

  • For the purposes for which you provided it;
  • To maintain, provide, operate, and improve the Sites and Events;

We may disclose and/or share your information as described below and elsewhere in this Notice, including with:

What are cookies?

Cookies are text files that are downloaded to your computer or mobile device when you visit a website and store certain information about Site usage. They are useful because they allow websites to recognize a user’s device. They are then returned to the original website on each subsequent visit or to any other website that recognizes them. For more information on cookies, go to all about cookies.org.

The term “cookie” is used in this Notice in the broad sense to include all similar techniques and technology, including web beacons and log files. For more information on these additional tools, see our “Glossary” section below.

Types of information collected and reasons for collection

Cookies help us to better understand your use of our Site and, as a result, allow us, among other things, to offer our web visitors a more personalized and consistent experience. Here are examples of the types of information that we may collect through cookies:

  • The number of users visiting our Site, the frequency with which the Site was viewed, the pages viewed, the clicks made on the Site and the total duration of navigation on the Site;
  • The webpages you have visited including the name of the website visited prior to the NextBold Site;
  • Whether you are visiting our Site for the first time or not;
  • Where applicable, your user name, your password, the type of browser used and your IP address, so that we can identify you during your next visits.
  • Your viewing preferences (e.g. layout, sizing preferences, language, etc.); and 

Note that we do not collect your name or email address through cookies.

In addition, cookies allow us to do the following:

  • Customize your visit: We may use information collected during your visit to facilitate your next visit to our Site;
  • Customize and enhance your user experience by delivering content specific to your inferred interests;
  • Recognize your computer;
  • Facilitate the ongoing access to and use of our website
  • Allow the Site to track usage behavior and compile aggregate data that will allow content improvements;
  • Analyze visitor trends: We perform searches and compile information on our Site visits and analyze them.
  • Assist with security administrative functions

Type of cookies we use

We use first-party cookies for several reasons. Some cookies are necessary for technical reasons for our Site to operate and/or provide basic functionality to you, and we refer to these as “strictly necessary” cookies. Other cookies enable us to track and target the interests of our users and to enhance the experience on our Site. The specific types of first-party cookies served through our Site and the purposes they perform are described in more detail below.

First-party cookies

These cookies are created by NextBold. They are, for the most part, used to allow you to navigate our Site and use its features. They may also assist in analytics activities.

The types of first- and third-party cookies we use on the Site are:

  • Strictly necessary cookies: These cookies are strictly necessary to provide you with services available through our Site and cannot be turned off. These cookies allow you to use some of the Site’s features, such as access to secure areas that require registration (if any) or setting your privacy preferences.
  • Functional cookies: These cookies allow you to browse our Site or benefit from some of its enhanced features, such as memorizing language preferences. Similar to strictly necessary cookies, if these cookies are disabled, it could impact your experience to use some Site functionality, such as your set preferences.
  • Analytics cookies: These cookies allow us or our third-party analytics providers to collect information and statistics on the use of the Site by you and other visitors. Thanks to this information, we are able to improve the features offered on our Site.

To refuse these various types of cookies, please follow the instructions below under the section “Cookie management.”

Duration of storage of cookies on your device

The duration of storage of cookies on your device may vary, depending on the category to which they belong: temporary or permanent.

Temporary cookies

We use temporary cookies on all our secure pages to assign and register a session ID. You can browse our entire Site without interruption. This identifier is also used for internal reporting purposes. It does not allow us to identify you by name and this type of cookie does not leave any information recoverable on your hard drive. Most of our proprietary cookies fall into this category and expire when you close your Internet browser.

Permanent cookies

Our proprietary analysis cookies are permanent cookies. They allow us to understand visitors’ browsing behavior over a longer period of time or to provide you with additional features related to your Site customization requests and the content that you have saved or stored. They can stay on your computer for 24 hours, a week or several years, depending on their function. This means that these cookies survive after your browser is closed and can be used by our Site to recognize your computer when you reopen your browser later.

Cookie management 

For visitors in Europe, you have the option to adjust what cookies you allow us to place on your browser through our Cookie Preference Center. You can modify these settings at any time. For these sites, you should follow instructions for managing cookies via your browser (below).

All cookies: You can exercise your preference to receive all types of cookies by managing cookies from your web browser. As the means by which to activate or deactivate cookies varies from one web browser to another, you should visit your web browser’s help menu for more information on cookie preferences. You can also configure your browser at any time to be notified of the receipt of a cookie, so that you can decide whether you want to accept it or not. Cookies do not under any circumstances read the data from your hard drive and you can delete them from your computer at any time. At the moment, it is technically impossible for you to synchronize your settings between your browsers and your devices (your computer or your smartphone). You must set them on each browser/device that you currently use and each time you use a new browser or device. Please note that if you choose to disable or deactivate cookies, this will apply to all cookies and have the consequences on Site functionality discussed in the section “Consequences of deactivation of all cookies” below.

Analytics cookies: To disable analytics cookies managed by our third-party analytics partners, either use the browser disablement mechanisms discussed immediately above, or use the analytics opt-out mechanisms maintained by our analytics providers:  Google Analytics Opt-Out Browser Add On

Consequences of deactivation of all cookies

If you choose to deactivate cookies, you may continue to use certain parts of our Site. However, some useful features may not work anymore, depending on which cookies you deactivate. 

Please note that if you have disabled one or more cookies, we may continue to use the information that was collected by such cookies before they were deactivated. However, we will cease to collect any information via the opted-out cookie once a cookie has been deactivated.

Changes to the Cookies Notice

This Notice may be revised occasionally. Any changes made will be reflected on this Site. Please revisit this Cookies Notice regularly to stay informed about our use of cookies. If you have any questions, please contact us as explained below.
