Last updated: August 4, 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how Team Nextup Network (“Team Nextup Network,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, shares, and protects information about you when you visit teamnextupnetwork.com (the “Site”), read our content, subscribe to our communications, or otherwise interact with our services (together, the “Services”).
We take your privacy seriously. This policy is written to be as clear and honest as possible, so that you understand what we collect, why we collect it, and what choices you have. By using the Site, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with this policy, please do not use the Site.
1. Who We Are
Team Nextup Network is an independent media and content network. Our registered contact and mailing address is:
Team Nextup Network 2956 Alaska Hwy British Columbia, Canada
For any question about this policy or your personal information, you can reach us at [email protected] or +1-250-778-0920. Full contact details are provided at the end of this policy.
For the purposes of applicable data protection law, Team Nextup Network is the “data controller” of the personal information described in this policy — meaning we are responsible for deciding how and why your information is processed.
2. Scope of This Policy
This Privacy Policy applies to information we collect through:
- Your use of and interaction with the Site and its content;
- Any forms you complete, such as newsletter sign-ups, contact forms, or contributor and partnership inquiries;
- Comments, submissions, or other content you choose to share with us;
- Cookies, analytics, and similar technologies described below.
This policy does not apply to third-party websites, products, or services that we do not own or control, even if we link to them. When you follow a link to an external site, that site’s own privacy policy governs your information. We encourage you to read the privacy policies of any third-party sites you visit.
3. Information We Collect
We collect information in three broad ways: information you give us directly, information we collect automatically, and information we receive from third parties.
3.1 Information You Provide Directly
You may choose to provide us with personal information, for example when you:
- Subscribe to a newsletter or updates — we collect your email address and, optionally, your name and content preferences.
- Contact us — through our contact form, by email, or by phone, we collect your name, email address, phone number (if you provide it), and the contents of your message.
- Submit a pitch, application, or partnership inquiry — we collect the information you include, which may involve your name, contact details, professional background, work samples, and links.
- Leave a comment or submit content — we collect your name or chosen display name, email address, and the content you post, along with any information the comment system requires.
Providing this information is voluntary, but some features (such as receiving our newsletter or getting a reply to an inquiry) require it.
3.2 Information We Collect Automatically
When you visit the Site, certain information is collected automatically by our servers and by the analytics and technical tools we use. This may include:
- Log and device data — your IP address, browser type and version, operating system, device type, referring and exit pages, and the dates and times of your visits.
- Usage data — the pages you view, the links you click, how long you spend on pages, and general interaction patterns.
- Approximate location — a general geographic location (such as country or region) derived from your IP address. We do not collect precise GPS location.
This information helps us understand how the Site is used, keep it secure and functioning, and improve our content.
3.3 Information From Third Parties
We may receive limited information about you from third-party services we use — for example, aggregated analytics from our analytics provider, delivery and engagement statistics from our email provider, or information from social media platforms if you interact with our content there. We combine this only as needed to operate and improve the Services.
4. Cookies and Similar Technologies
Like most websites, we use cookies and similar technologies (such as pixels, tags, and local storage) to make the Site work, understand how it is used, and — where applicable — support advertising.
What cookies are. A cookie is a small text file placed on your device by a website. Cookies can be “session” cookies (deleted when you close your browser) or “persistent” cookies (which remain until they expire or you delete them).
Types of cookies we use:
- Strictly necessary cookies — required for the Site to function, such as remembering your cookie preferences or keeping the Site secure. These cannot be switched off.
- Analytics/performance cookies — help us understand how visitors use the Site so we can improve it. These are typically set by our analytics provider.
- Functionality cookies — remember choices you make (such as region or preferences) to give you a more personalized experience.
- Advertising cookies — where we display ads or use affiliate links, these may be set by advertising partners to measure performance and, in some cases, show more relevant ads.
Your choices. Most browsers let you refuse or delete cookies through their settings. Where required by law, we display a cookie banner or consent tool that lets you accept or reject non-essential cookies. Please note that blocking some cookies may affect how the Site works for you.
5. How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect for the following purposes:
- To provide and operate the Services — displaying content, running the Site, and responding to your requests.
- To communicate with you — sending newsletters and updates you have requested, replying to inquiries, and providing customer support.
- To improve our content and Services — analyzing how the Site is used so we can make it better, more relevant, and more useful.
- To maintain security and prevent abuse — detecting, investigating, and preventing fraudulent, unauthorized, or illegal activity, and protecting the rights and safety of our users and our network.
- To personalize your experience — remembering your preferences and, where relevant, tailoring content.
- To support advertising and partnerships — where applicable, measuring and managing advertising, sponsorships, and affiliate relationships in a transparent way.
- To comply with legal obligations — meeting our legal and regulatory requirements and enforcing our terms.
We do not sell your personal information. (See Section 12 for details relevant to California residents.)
6. Legal Bases for Processing (for EU/EEA and UK Visitors)
If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA) or the United Kingdom, we process your personal information only where we have a valid legal basis to do so. Depending on the situation, our legal bases include:
- Consent — for example, when you subscribe to our newsletter or agree to non-essential cookies. You may withdraw consent at any time.
- Legitimate interests — for example, to operate and secure the Site, understand our audience, and improve our content, provided these interests are not overridden by your rights.
- Legal obligation — where we must process information to comply with the law.
Where we rely on legitimate interests, you have the right to object; see Section 11.
7. How We Share Information
We do not sell your personal information, and we share it only in the limited circumstances described below.
- Service providers. We work with trusted third parties who process information on our behalf to run the Services — for example, hosting providers, email/newsletter platforms, analytics providers, and content delivery networks. They may access personal information only to perform tasks for us and are obligated to protect it.
- Advertising and affiliate partners. Where we display advertising or use affiliate links, partners may collect certain usage data through cookies as described in Section 4. We aim to work only with partners that maintain reasonable privacy practices.
- Legal and safety reasons. We may disclose information if required by law, regulation, legal process, or governmental request, or where we believe disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, your safety or the safety of others, investigate fraud, or respond to a legal claim.
- Business transfers. If Team Nextup Network is involved in a merger, acquisition, financing, or sale of assets, information may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will notify you of any change in ownership or use of your personal information.
We may also share aggregated or de-identified information that cannot reasonably be used to identify you.
8. Third-Party Services
The Site relies on third-party services that may process your information under their own privacy policies. These typically include an analytics provider (to measure Site usage), an email service provider (to deliver newsletters), a hosting/infrastructure provider, and, where applicable, advertising or affiliate networks and embedded content from platforms such as video or social media services.
When a page contains embedded content (for example, an embedded video or social post), that third party may set its own cookies and collect data about your interaction. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of these providers to understand how they handle your information.
9. Data Retention
We keep personal information only for as long as it is needed for the purposes described in this policy, or as required to meet legal, accounting, or reporting obligations. In practice:
- Newsletter data is kept until you unsubscribe or ask us to remove it.
- Contact and inquiry messages are kept for as long as needed to handle your request and for a reasonable period afterward for record-keeping.
- Automatically collected analytics data is retained according to the settings and retention periods of our analytics tools.
When we no longer need your personal information, we take reasonable steps to delete it or anonymize it.
10. How We Protect Your Information
We use reasonable technical and organizational measures designed to protect personal information against loss, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. These measures may include encryption in transit, access controls, and secure hosting.
However, no method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is completely secure. While we strive to protect your information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security. You share information with us at your own risk, and you are responsible for keeping any account credentials you may have confidential.
11. Your Privacy Rights
Depending on where you live, you may have some or all of the following rights regarding your personal information:
- Access — request a copy of the personal information we hold about you.
- Correction — ask us to correct information that is inaccurate or incomplete.
- Deletion — ask us to delete your personal information, subject to certain legal exceptions.
- Restriction — ask us to limit how we process your information in certain circumstances.
- Objection — object to processing based on our legitimate interests, and to direct marketing at any time.
- Portability — request that we provide certain information in a portable, machine-readable format.
- Withdraw consent — where we rely on consent, withdraw it at any time (this does not affect processing already carried out).
- Unsubscribe — opt out of marketing emails at any time using the “unsubscribe” link in any newsletter, or by contacting us.
To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the details in Section 15. We may need to verify your identity before responding. We will respond within the timeframe required by applicable law. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority; in Canada, this is the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada.
12. Regional Privacy Disclosures
12.1 Canada (PIPEDA)
As a Canada-based organization, we handle personal information in accordance with the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) and applicable provincial privacy laws. We collect, use, and disclose personal information only for purposes a reasonable person would consider appropriate, obtain consent where required, and give you access to your personal information on request.
12.2 European Economic Area and United Kingdom (GDPR)
If you are in the EEA or UK, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and UK GDPR give you the rights described in Section 11 and require us to have a legal basis for processing (Section 6). Because our Services may be accessed from these regions, your information may be transferred to and processed in Canada or other countries. Where we transfer personal information internationally, we take steps to ensure it receives an adequate level of protection, such as relying on adequacy decisions or appropriate safeguards where required.
12.3 California (CCPA/CPRA)
If you are a California resident, you may have the right to know what personal information we collect and how we use it, to request access to or deletion of your personal information, and to not be discriminated against for exercising your rights. We do not sell your personal information as the term “sell” is commonly understood, and we do not knowingly share it for cross-context behavioral advertising in exchange for money. To exercise your rights, contact us using the details below.
13. International Data Transfers
Team Nextup Network is based in Canada, and our service providers may be located in Canada, the United States, the European Union, and elsewhere. This means your personal information may be processed in a country other than the one you live in, where data protection laws may differ. Wherever your information is processed, we take reasonable steps to ensure it is treated securely and in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
14. Children’s Privacy
The Site is intended for a general audience and is not directed to children under the age of 13 (or the applicable minimum age in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will take reasonable steps to delete it.
15. Third-Party Links
Our content may include links to external websites and resources that we do not operate or control. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those sites. This Privacy Policy applies only to the Team Nextup Network Site, so we encourage you to review the privacy policy of any third-party site you visit.
16. Do Not Track
Some browsers offer a “Do Not Track” (DNT) signal. There is currently no industry-wide standard for how DNT signals should be interpreted, so our Site does not respond differently to DNT signals at this time. You can still manage cookies and tracking through the choices described in Section 4.
17. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, legal requirements, or other factors. When we make material changes, we will update the “Last updated” date at the top of this page and, where appropriate, provide a more prominent notice. We encourage you to review this policy periodically. Your continued use of the Site after changes take effect constitutes your acceptance of the revised policy.
