01 Who We Are

Nextera Consulting, Inc. is an Illinois limited liability company based in Chicago, Illinois. We help businesses build AI and automation systems. Our website is nexteraconsult.com — a static site with no user accounts, no login system, and no backend database. It covers the following pages:

• nexteraconsult.com — main consulting and services site
• nexteraconsult.com/ai — AI and automation services overview
• nexteraconsult.com/nd — Noah Dolinko's personal bio page
• nexteraconsult.com/link — the Nextera AI Hub (NFC tap landing page)

Privacy questions can be sent directly to legal@nexteraconsult.com.

02 What We Collect

We collect very little. Data falls into two categories: what's collected automatically by our hosting infrastructure, and what you voluntarily submit.

Automatically collected

Voluntarily submitted

03 How We Use Your Information

Each piece of data we collect has a specific, limited purpose:

• Local storage preferences — To remember your session on the AI Hub so you can continue where you left off. Never transmitted to us.
• Subscriber email addresses — To send the AI tips and resources you opted in to receive. Used for no other purpose.
• Contact form submissions — To respond to your inquiry. Not used for marketing without explicit consent.
• Server logs (via Netlify) — For infrastructure security and stability. Controlled by Netlify, not us.

We do not sell, rent, trade, or otherwise transfer your personal information to outside parties for commercial purposes.

04 What We Don't Collect

To be explicit about what is not happening on this site:

• No cookies set by us. We do not use tracking or analytics cookies of any kind.
• No analytics. There is no Google Analytics, Hotjar, Meta Pixel, or any behavioral tracking tool installed.
• No ad tracking. We do not run retargeting ads and have no tracking pixels from ad networks.
• No fingerprinting. We do not collect device fingerprints or attempt to identify you across sessions.
• No user accounts. The site has no login system or user database.

05 Local Storage on the AI Hub

The AI Hub uses your browser's local storage — not cookies — to save your preferences between visits. This is a client-side technology: the data exists only on your device and is never transmitted to our servers.

The specific items saved are your selected audience type (e.g., Founder, Student), your recent navigation paths through the decision tree, and resources you've bookmarked to your library.

To clear this data: open your browser settings, navigate to site data or storage, and clear data for nexteraconsult.com. On mobile, this is typically found under Settings → Safari/Chrome → Advanced → Website Data.

06 Third-Party Service Providers

We use a small number of third-party services to operate the site. These are data processors — they handle data only as needed to provide their services to us:

• Netlify — hosts the site and processes all form submissions. Form data is transmitted to and stored by Netlify in the United States. netlify.com/privacy
• Google Fonts — font files served from Google's CDN. Google may log your IP with the font request. policies.google.com/privacy

External links on our pages point to third-party websites not covered by this policy. Once you leave our site, the destination site's privacy practices apply.

07 Data Retention

We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to serve the purpose it was collected for:

• Subscriber emails — Retained until you unsubscribe or request deletion. We will honor deletion requests within 10 business days.
• Contact form submissions — Retained as long as reasonably needed to address your inquiry, typically no longer than 2 years.
• Local storage data — Stored on your device and controlled entirely by you. Cleared when you clear your browser's site data.
• Netlify server logs — Controlled by Netlify per their retention policy. We do not independently store or access these logs.

To request deletion of your data, email legal@nexteraconsult.com with the subject "Data Deletion Request."

08 Email Communications & CAN-SPAM

If you subscribed to receive AI tips and resources from Nextera, here's what you can expect:

• All commercial emails will clearly identify Nextera Consulting, Inc. as the sender.
• Every email will include a physical mailing address for Nextera Consulting, Inc. in Chicago, Illinois.
• Every email will include a clear, functioning unsubscribe link or instruction.
• We will honor all unsubscribe requests within 10 business days, as required by the federal CAN-SPAM Act.
• We will not use deceptive subject lines or sender information.

To unsubscribe at any time, click the unsubscribe link in any email we send, or email legal@nexteraconsult.com with the subject "Unsubscribe."

09 Security

We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect personal information. This includes using HTTPS across all pages, relying on Netlify's secure infrastructure for form processing, and not storing personal data in our own databases.

Because we collect very little personal information, our risk surface is small — but no system is perfectly secure. In the event of a data breach involving the personal information of Illinois residents, we will notify affected individuals and the Illinois Attorney General as required under the Illinois Personal Information Protection Act (PIPA), within the legally required timeframe.

10 International Visitors

This site is operated in the United States and is primarily directed at US-based users. We do not target EU or UK residents, and we do not monitor the behavior of site visitors for any purpose.

If you are visiting from the EU, UK, or another jurisdiction with privacy laws (such as GDPR), please note: any personal information you submit voluntarily (e.g., via a contact or subscribe form) will be transmitted to and processed in the United States via Netlify. By submitting a form, you consent to this transfer. For details on Netlify's data handling and international transfer mechanisms, see Netlify's privacy policy.

To exercise any rights you may have under GDPR or similar laws (access, deletion, objection), contact us at legal@nexteraconsult.com.

11 Children's Privacy (COPPA)

This site is intended for business owners, working professionals, students aged 13 and older, and adults generally. It is not directed at children under 13.

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. Children under 13 should not submit any forms on this site. If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected personal information from a child under 13, we will delete it promptly. If you believe a child has submitted information to us, please contact us at legal@nexteraconsult.com.

12 US State Privacy Rights

Depending on your state of residence, you may have specific rights regarding your personal information. For example, California residents may have rights under the CCPA/CPRA including the right to know what data we have, request deletion, and opt out of the sale of their data.

We do not sell personal information to third parties. Because we collect minimal personal data and have no user database, most state privacy law thresholds do not apply to us — but we respect these rights regardless. To exercise any applicable state privacy rights, contact us at legal@nexteraconsult.com with the subject "Privacy Rights Request" and we will respond within 45 days.

13 Changes to This Policy

If we make meaningful changes to what we collect or how we use it, we will update this page and revise the "Last Updated" date at the top. Because we don't have your email unless you opted in, we may not be able to notify you directly. We encourage you to review this policy periodically. Continued use of the site after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.

14 Accessibility

We are committed to making this website accessible to everyone, including people with disabilities. We aim to conform to WCAG 2.1 Level AA guidelines across all pages.

If you encounter an accessibility barrier on any page — content that's hard to read, a feature that doesn't work with your assistive technology, or anything else — please contact us at legal@nexteraconsult.com and we will address it promptly.
