Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 16, 2026 · Effective for NEXTALE

1. Who We Are

This Privacy Policy explains how NEXTALE ("we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, shares, and protects information when you use our website, mobile apps, and related services (together, the "Service").

If you have questions about this policy, contact us at play@nextale.com.

2. Information We Collect

Account information. When you create an account, we collect your email address, and if you sign up as a creator, information you provide about yourself or your studio.

Content you submit. If you apply as a creator, we collect the information and preview materials you submit through our application form, as described in our Content Preview Submission Terms.

Payment information. Payments are processed by third-party payment processors (such as Stripe). We do not store your full card details ourselves — our payment processor handles that directly.

Usage data. We collect information about how you use the Service, such as which series and episodes you view, watch time, device type, browser, and general location (derived from IP address).

Cookies and similar technologies. We use cookies and similar technologies to operate the Service and, where enabled, to understand usage patterns. See Section 4.

3. How We Use Information

We use the information we collect to:

  • operate, maintain, and improve the Service;
  • process payments, subscriptions, coin purchases, and creator payouts;
  • communicate with you about your account, purchases, or creator application;
  • personalize content recommendations;
  • detect, prevent, and address fraud, abuse, or security issues; and
  • comply with legal obligations.

4. Cookies and Similar Technologies

We use cookies and similar technologies for purposes that may include keeping you signed in, remembering preferences, and (once enabled) understanding aggregate usage of the Service. Where required by law, we will ask for your consent before using non-essential cookies, and you can manage your choice through the cookie banner on our site or your browser settings.

5. How We Share Information

We do not sell your personal information. We share information with:

  • Service providers who help us operate the Service, such as payment processors, cloud hosting and content-delivery providers, and analytics providers, under confidentiality obligations;
  • Legal and safety purposes — to comply with the law, respond to valid legal requests, or protect the rights, property, or safety of NEXTALE, our users, or others; and
  • Business transfers — if NEXTALE is involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, information may be transferred as part of that transaction.

6. Data Retention

We retain personal information for as long as needed to provide the Service and for legitimate business or legal purposes. Creator preview submissions are retained for approximately 12 months after our last communication or review, as described in our Content Preview Submission Terms, unless discussions continue or we're required to keep records longer.

7. Your Rights and Choices

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or receive a copy of your personal information, and to object to or restrict certain processing. This includes rights available to residents of the European Economic Area and the United Kingdom under GDPR, and to California residents under the CCPA/CPRA.

To exercise these rights, contact us at play@nextale.com. We will respond within the timeframe required by applicable law.

8. Children's Privacy

NEXTALE hosts mature-themed content and is not directed at children. Our Service is intended for users who meet the applicable age requirements described in our Terms of Service, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 (or the relevant minimum age in your region). If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, contact us and we will take appropriate steps to delete it.

9. International Data Transfers

NEXTALE is based in the United States. If you access the Service from outside the United States, your information may be transferred to, stored, and processed in the United States or other countries, which may have different data protection laws than your home country.

10. Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures designed to protect your information. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make material changes, we will notify you by posting the updated policy on this page with a new "Last updated" date, and where appropriate, through other reasonable means.
