Privacy policy

1. Introduction
Next Bright Path ("we," "us," or "our") operates the NextBrightPath platform ("Platform"). This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, share, and protect your information in compliance with applicable laws, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) for users in the European Union (EU) and other data protection regulations.
By using the Platform, you consent to the data practices described in this Privacy Policy.

2.Information We Collect
We collect information from Trainers, Students, and visitors to the Platform as follows:

2.1 Personal Information
For Trainers:

For Students:

Note:

NextBrightPath does not collect or maintain payment information from Trainers or Students. All payments, including enrollment fees and Trainer payouts, are processed securely by third-party payment processors. We rely on these processors to handle all financial transactions and do not store credit card, banking, or other payment details on our systems.

NextBrightPath does not collect or store tax-related information, including Social Security Numbers (SSNs), Employer Identification Numbers (EINs), or other sensitive tax details. Trainers are responsible for managing their own tax reporting obligations.

Disclose information when required by law or to protect the rights, safety, and security of our users or the Platform.

As a U.S.-based company, your data may be transferred to and processed in the United States. For users in the EU or other regions with strict data protection laws, we ensure appropriate safeguards, such as Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs), to protect your data during international transfers.

We retain your data only as long as necessary for the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy, including:
  • Compliance with legal obligations.
  • Resolution of disputes.
  • Enforcing our agreements.
  • When data is no longer needed, it is securely deleted or anonymized.

  • Secure data storage with encryption.
  • Regular monitoring for security vulnerabilities.
  • Access controls for authorized personnel only.

While we strive to protect your data, no system is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
