Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

NEXT7 ("Company", "we", "us", or "our") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your personal information when you visit our website (https://www.next7ai.com), use our web applications, install our browser extensions (such as via the Chrome Web Store), or utilize our Google Workspace Marketplace add-ons (including Convert Chinese To Pinyin, Barcode & QR Code Generator, Form Limiter, and Label Maker).

Please read this Privacy Policy carefully. By accessing or using our services, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agreed to be bound by the terms of this Privacy Policy.

2. Information We Collect

We adhere to the principle of data minimization and prioritize local-first processing whenever possible. Depending on the product or service you interact with, we may collect:

• Account & Contact Information: If you contact us via email, submit a support inquiry, or create an account, we may receive your email address, name, and any content included in your inquiry.
• Usage & Device Information: Standard technical information such as your browser type, operating system version, device identifiers, and timestamp of access to improve performance and troubleshoot bugs.
• Customer Feedback & Problem Reports: When you voluntarily submit diagnostic feedback or issue reports through our extensions or add-ons, we receive the details you choose to share to diagnose and fix technical issues.

Local-First Guarantee: Our client-side tools and spreadsheet formulas (such as =QRCODE(), =BARCODE(), and =PINYIN()) generate vector graphics and format text directly in your local environment. Your spreadsheet data and document contents are not sent to or stored on external servers.

3. Google API Services & Google Workspace Disclosure

For products that integrate with Google Workspace (such as Google Sheets™, Google Forms™, or Google Docs™), we strictly request the minimum necessary scopes (for example, spreadsheets.currentonly or forms.currentonly) required to perform the intended action on the currently active file.

• We do not transfer or sell user data obtained through Google Workspace APIs to third parties or advertising brokers.
• We do not use Google Workspace user data for serving advertisements, retargeting, or personalized marketing.
• We do not use Google Workspace data to train generalized AI/ML models without your explicit opt-in consent.
• Human staff do not read your spreadsheet or form data unless you explicitly request customer support and provide access for debugging purposes.

4. Chrome Web Store & Browser Extension Data

Our browser extensions comply fully with the Chrome Web Store Developer Program Policies, including the Limited Use policy:

• Extensions only request permissions essential to deliver core functionality.
• Settings, shortcuts, and preferences are stored locally in your browser storage or Chrome Sync.
• We do not inject third-party ad networks, cryptocurrency miners, or covert tracking scripts.

5. How We Use Information

We use collected information solely to:

• Provide, operate, and maintain our software and services;
• Authenticate users and fulfill subscription orders;
• Respond to support inquiries, feedback, and bug reports;
• Detect, prevent, and mitigate security threats, technical glitches, or abuse;
• Comply with applicable legal obligations.

6. Data Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We may share information only in the following limited circumstances:

• Service Providers: Trusted third-party vendors who assist in operating our website, processing secure payments (e.g., Stripe), or delivering transactional emails, bound by strict confidentiality terms.
• Legal Requirements: If required by law, subpoena, or government authority to comply with legal proceedings or protect the safety and rights of NEXT7 and our users.
• Business Transfers: In connection with any merger, sale of company assets, or financing, subject to the recipient agreeing to honor this Privacy Policy.

7. Data Retention & Security

We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy or comply with legal requirements. We employ industry-standard technical and organizational security measures (including HTTPS/TLS encryption in transit and secure data segregation) to safeguard your data.
