Cookie Policy

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your computer, smartphone, tablet, or other device when you visit a website. Cookies and similar technologies help websites function properly and may also be used to remember preferences, understand Website activity, measure performance, and support advertising and marketing activities.

We may use both first-party cookies, which are set by NIX Companies, and third-party cookies, which are set by service providers or other third parties.

Types of Cookies We May Use

Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are necessary for the Website to operate properly. They may support functions such as Website security, network management, form functionality, privacy preferences, and other essential Website features.

Because these cookies are required for basic Website functionality, they generally cannot be disabled through our cookie preference tools.

Functional Cookies

Functional cookies allow the Website to remember choices or preferences and provide enhanced functionality.

If you decline these cookies, some Website features may not function as intended.

Analytics and Performance Cookies

We may use analytics technologies to understand how visitors use our Website, including which pages are visited, how visitors arrive at the Website, and how they interact with Website content.

Information obtained through these technologies may be used to measure Website performance and improve our content and user experience.

Advertising and Marketing Cookies

We or our advertising partners may use cookies and similar technologies to measure advertising performance, understand interactions with our marketing campaigns, and, where applicable, deliver or measure advertising.

These technologies may recognize your browser or device across different websites or services.

Where required by applicable law, advertising and other non-essential cookies will not be activated until you provide the required consent.


Third-Party Technologies

Our Website may use third-party services for purposes such as analytics, advertising, embedded content, spam prevention, Website functionality, or performance.

These third parties may collect information through cookies, pixels, tags, scripts, or similar technologies according to their own privacy policies.

The specific cookies and technologies present on the Website may change as our Website, vendors, and marketing practices change.


Your Cookie Choices

When applicable, our Website provides a cookie consent tool that allows you to accept, reject, or manage categories of non-essential cookies.

You may change your preferences through the cookie preference controls available on our Website.

You may also configure your browser to block, delete, or notify you about cookies. Blocking certain cookies may affect Website functionality.

Your choices are generally specific to the browser and device you use. If you clear your browser cookies, use another browser, or use another device, you may need to select your preferences again.


Global Privacy Control and Other Browser Signals

Where required by applicable law and supported by our Website technologies, we may recognize legally valid browser-based privacy preference signals, such as Global Privacy Control (“GPC”).


Embedded Content and Third-Party Websites

Our Website may contain embedded content or links to third-party websites, including videos, images, social media content, maps, or other external resources.

Embedded content may behave as though you visited the third-party website directly. Those third parties may collect information, use cookies, or monitor your interaction with their content in accordance with their own privacy policies.

NIX Companies is not responsible for the privacy practices, security, or content of third-party websites.


Analytics

We may use third-party analytics services to better understand Website usage and performance.

These services may collect information such as the pages you visit, how long you remain on the Website, the website or advertisement that referred you to us, your approximate location, device information, and other usage information.

Where required, analytics cookies or technologies will be subject to your cookie consent preferences.


Email Communications

If you subscribe to a newsletter or otherwise receive promotional emails from us, you may unsubscribe at any time by following the unsubscribe instructions included in the communication.

We will honor applicable email marketing opt-out requirements.

We may continue to send non-promotional communications when necessary, such as communications relating to an existing transaction, request, business relationship, security matter, or other service-related purpose.


SMS Terms & Conditions

NIX Companies may offer text message (“SMS”) communications for individuals who choose to receive them.

Depending on the program for which you enroll, messages may include company communications, updates, reminders, event information, service-related communications, or promotional messages.

Consent to receive marketing text messages is not a condition of purchasing any goods or services.

Message Frequency

Message frequency may vary depending on the SMS program and your interactions with NIX Companies.

Message and Data Rates

Message and data rates may apply. Your mobile carrier’s standard messaging and data rates are your responsibility.

Opting Out

You may opt out of SMS communications at any time by replying STOP to a message.

We may send a final confirmation message acknowledging your opt-out. After your request is processed, you will no longer receive messages from that SMS program unless you subsequently provide consent to receive them again.

Privacy of SMS Information

We do not sell or share mobile telephone numbers, SMS opt-in data, or SMS consent information with third parties for their own marketing or promotional purposes.

We may disclose information to service providers that assist us in delivering text messages or operating our communications systems, but only as necessary to provide those services on our behalf or as otherwise permitted by law.


How We Disclose Information

We may disclose personal information to third parties when reasonably necessary to operate our business and Website, including:

  • Website hosting and technology providers

  • Analytics providers

  • Advertising and marketing service providers

  • Email and communications platforms

  • SMS service providers

  • Spam prevention and security providers

  • Professional advisers

  • Vendors and contractors providing services on our behalf

We may also disclose information in connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, sale of assets, or similar business transaction.

We do not disclose personal information to third parties for purposes that are materially different from those described in this Policy without providing appropriate notice or obtaining consent when required.


Data Retention

We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, maintain appropriate business and legal records, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, and comply with applicable legal obligations.

Retention periods may vary depending on the nature of the information and the purpose for which it was collected.

Information may be retained for a longer period where required by law or reasonably necessary for legal, security, fraud-prevention, or recordkeeping purposes.


Data Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect personal information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure.

However, no website, electronic transmission, or data storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Accordingly, we cannot guarantee the absolute security of information transmitted to or stored by us.


Your Privacy Rights

Depending on where you reside and subject to applicable law, you may have certain rights regarding your personal information.

These may include the right to:

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 through the Website. If we become aware that we have collected such information without appropriate authorization, we will take reasonable steps to delete it.


Do Not Track
