Under GDPR, we process your personal data based on one or more of the following lawful bases:
- Consent: You have given clear consent for us to process your personal data for a specific purpose.
- Contract: The processing is necessary for a contract we have with you, or because you have asked us to take specific steps before entering into a contract.
- Legal Obligation: The processing is necessary for us to comply with the law.
- Legitimate Interests: The processing is necessary for our legitimate interests or the legitimate interests of a third party, unless there is a good reason to protect your personal data which overrides those legitimate interests.

International Data Transfers
nxtAcre may transfer your personal data to countries outside the European Economic Area (EEA). When we do, we ensure a similar degree of protection is afforded to your data by ensuring at least one of the following safeguards is implemented:
- We will only transfer your personal data to countries that have been deemed to provide an adequate level of protection for personal data by the European Commission.
- Where we use certain service providers, we may use specific contracts approved by the European Commission which give personal data the same protection it has in Europe.
- Where we use providers based in the US, we may transfer data to them if they are part of the Privacy Shield which requires them to provide similar protection to personal data shared between Europe and the US.
Data Protection Measures
We have implemented appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risk, including:
- Encryption of personal data
- Regular testing, assessing, and evaluating the effectiveness of technical and organizational measures
- Regular data protection training for our staff
- Pseudonymization and data minimization where appropriate
- Ability to restore availability and access to personal data in a timely manner in the event of a physical or technical incident
Data Breach Notification
In the case of a personal data breach, we will notify the relevant supervisory authority within 72 hours of becoming aware of the breach, where feasible. If the breach is likely to result in a high risk to your rights and freedoms, we will also notify you without undue delay.
Data Protection Impact Assessments
Where processing operations are likely to result in a high risk to your rights and freedoms, we will carry out data protection impact assessments to identify and minimize the data protection risks.
