Return to the top.Depending on the nature of your interaction with Nexbind (e.g., as a policyholder, website user, business contact), we may use personal information about you for the following purposes:

The Company will make the disclosures described above only as permitted by applicable laws.
Return to the top.
Due to the global nature of our business and for the purposes set forth above, we may transfer personal information to parties located in countries other than the one where you reside, including in the United States. For example, we may transfer personal information internationally to our subsidiaries, affiliates, service providers, business partners and governmental or public authorities in another country in connection with the performance of our Services. The laws of these countries may provide a different level of protection for personal information than the country where you reside.
We will, when required by applicable law, rely on approved mechanisms to lawfully transfer personal information across borders, such as standard contractual clauses or other model clauses approved for use by applicable data protection authorities. We generally will use Standard Contractual Clauses (“SCCs”), approved by the European Commission, as a legal mechanism for data transfers outside the European Union (EU); the Addendum to the SCCs, approved by the United Kingdom’s (“UK”) Information Commission, for transfers outside of the UK; and the Standard Data Protection Contractual Clauses (the “SDPCC”), approved by the Commissioner of Data Protection for the Dubai International Financial Centre (‘DIFC”), for transfers outside of the DIFC. These clauses are contractual commitments between companies transferring personal information, binding them to protect the privacy and security of the transferred personal information. Please contact us using the contact details provided under Section 12 (Contact Us), below, if you would like to request a copy of the relevant standard data transfer clauses.
We work to secure your personal information from being lost, accessed, used, modified, or disclosed by/to unauthorized persons. During transmission of personal information between you and our Site, we use Transport Layer Security (TLS) software to encrypt information you input Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job are granted access to personal information. These employees are made aware of our security and privacy practices. As another security measure, the servers that we use to store personal information are kept in a secure, restricted access area.
Please note that despite our reasonable efforts, no security measure is ever perfect or impenetrable, so we cannot guarantee the security of your personal information. Consequently, you should take steps to protect against unauthorized access to your password, phone, and computer by, among other things, signing off after using a shared computer, choosing a robust password that nobody else knows or can easily guess and keeping your log-in and password private.
We keep personal information for as long as is reasonably required for the purposes explained in this Statement. We also hold records, which may include personal information, to meet legal, regulatory, tax, accounting and/or internal data retention policy needs. For example, we are required to retain an accurate record of your dealings with us, so we can respond to any complaints or concerns you or others might raise later. We’ll also retain files if we reasonably believe there is a prospect of litigation. The specific retention period for your personal information will depend on your relationship with us and the reasons we hold your personal information.
