Privacy Policy

Last updated: December 7, 2025

Introduction

Nextil ("Nextil Booking", "we", "us", or "our") values your privacy. This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, disclose, and protect your information when you use our booking platform, websites, and mobile applications (collectively, the "Service"). By using the Service, you consent to this Policy.

Information We Collect

We collect personal information to operate our booking platform effectively and provide you with the best experience.

Information you provide: name, email, phone number, profile photo, service preferences, and booking details.

Automatically collected information: device data, IP address, browser type, access times, pages visited, and session identifiers via cookies or analytics tools.

From third parties: data from sign-in providers (e.g., Google, Apple) or service providers you interact with through our platform.

Third-Party Sign-In (OAuth): You can sign in to Nextil using Google Sign-In or Apple Sign-In. When you use these services, we receive basic profile information (name, email, and profile photo if provided) from these providers. Your use of these sign-in methods is also governed by Google's Privacy Policy and Apple's Privacy Policy. We do not receive or store your Google or Apple passwords.

Location Services (Mapbox): We use Mapbox to display the address and coordinates of staff/shop locations provided by service providers. This allows customers to view shop locations and tap for directions, which opens their device's navigation app. Mapbox only processes the address and coordinates entered by staff for this purpose. We do not collect or use your device's location. For more information, see the Mapbox Privacy Policy.

Photo Access: When you choose to upload a profile photo, our mobile app uses your device's photo picker (iOS PhotosPicker) to allow you to select images from your photo library. We only access photos you explicitly select and do not have access to your entire photo library.

Push Notifications: With your permission, we send push notifications to your mobile device to provide booking confirmations, reminders, updates, and important service announcements. You can manage notification preferences in your device settings at any time.

Advertising: We use Google AdMob to display advertisements in our mobile app. AdMob may collect information such as device identifiers, IP address, and usage data to provide personalized ads. For more information, please see the Google AdMob Privacy Policy and Google Privacy & Terms.

Security and spam prevention: We use hCaptcha to protect our forms from spam and abuse. hCaptcha collects hardware and software information such as device and application data, and sends it to Intuition Machines for the purpose of providing and improving the hCaptcha service. For more information, please see the hCaptcha Privacy Policy.

  • Create and manage your account.

Data Retention Policy

User data (including account information, bookings, and profile images) is automatically deleted when you delete your account or request deletion. This process is irreversible and cannot be undone. We do not retain deleted data.

Security

We implement administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect your information. However, no online service is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

We will also report the breach to relevant authorities where required.
