Privacy policy

1. Who we are

This Privacy Policy applies to nextlawhire.com and the legal recruiting services offered under the NextLAW brand. NextDev, Inc., doing business as NextLAW (“NextLAW,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), is responsible for the information described here.

NextLAW recruits attorneys, paralegals, and legal operations professionals for law firms and in-house legal teams. This policy covers visitors, candidates, hiring contacts, and other people who communicate with us.

2. Information we collect

Information you provide

• Names, email addresses, location, and other contact details you choose to share.
• Hiring requirements, including role, practice area, experience, location, timing, compensation, and other notes.
• Candidate information, such as resumes, professional profiles, work and education history, qualifications, preferences, and recruiting correspondence.

Professional information from other sources

We obtain professional information from public professional websites, sourcing providers, referrals, and recruiting conversations. This can include names, photographs, job titles, employers, employment history, education, skills, and professional location. Our website search uses a saved pool of professional profiles.

Technical and communication information

Our hosting and security systems process information such as IP addresses, browser or device details, requested URLs, and timestamps. Inquiry records can also contain the referring page and browser information. We use hashed identifiers and short-lived records to limit abuse. Recruiting correspondence may include delivery and engagement information, such as email opens or link clicks.

3. How we use information

• Respond to inquiries and understand hiring or career requirements.
• Source and review professional backgrounds, discuss opportunities, make introductions, and coordinate recruiting activity.
• Display and search saved professional profiles.
• Maintain records, improve the service, prevent abuse, and resolve requests or disputes.
• Meet legal obligations and enforce our agreements.

Please share only information relevant to recruiting. Do not include confidential client matters, privileged material, government identification numbers, or other unnecessary sensitive information in website forms.

4. How information is shared

Public profile search

Selected professional information and photographs are displayed publicly in search results and profile details. Some results are included with the page so they load promptly. Display names may be abbreviated; photographs and professional history may still identify a person. To request a correction or removal, contact us using the details below.

Recruiting relationships

We share relevant professional information with hiring organizations and recruiting partners in connection with recruiting work. Hiring requirements may be shared with candidates or partners to discuss an opportunity. We discuss candidate interest and the information to be presented as part of the introduction process.

Service providers and other disclosures

We use providers for hosting, databases, email, sourcing, and related operations. The website uses Vercel hosting and Google Firebase storage for inquiry and search records. Providers process information needed to perform their services. We may also disclose information to comply with law, protect rights and security, or in connection with a business reorganization or transfer.

We do not provide website visitor information to advertising networks for targeted advertising.

5. Cookies, external resources, and email

The profile search uses a necessary, signed session cookie that lasts up to 24 hours. It supports access controls and abuse prevention. Blocking cookies can prevent new searches from working.

Pages load fonts from Google, and some profile images or organization logos load from external image providers. Those providers receive ordinary connection information, such as an IP address and browser details, when your browser requests a resource. Other portraits are included directly with the page.

The NextLAW website does not use advertising cookies. It does not change its behavior in response to a browser’s Do Not Track signal. Some recruiting emails may use remote images or tracked links to understand engagement; your email application may allow you to block those images.

External websites and your email provider have their own privacy practices. Preparing an email draft on the site does not send it; you decide whether to send it through your email application.

6. Retention and security

We retain inquiry records, professional profiles, and recruiting correspondence for recruiting relationships, follow-up, recordkeeping, and legal needs. Saved profiles can remain in the pool until updated or removed. Retention depends on the purpose, ongoing recruiting activity, and applicable obligations; we do not promise a single deletion period for every record.

We use measures such as HTTPS, access controls, signed sessions, and submission limits. No system can guarantee absolute security. We may retain limited information when needed to meet legal obligations, prevent abuse, or resolve disputes.

7. Your choices and requests

You can ask us to access, correct, update, or remove information about you, including a professional profile displayed on this site. Depending on your location and applicable law, you may also have rights to a copy of your information, to object to or restrict certain processing, to withdraw consent where processing is based on consent, or to complain to a relevant authority.

Email matt@nextlawhire.com with enough information to identify the record and your request. For a profile request, include the displayed name or profile reference if available. We may ask for information reasonably needed to verify your identity or authority. Please do not send government identity documents unless we specifically request an appropriate verification method.

We respond in accordance with applicable law, including any permitted exceptions or extensions. You can also ask us to stop recruiting or marketing messages, or use an unsubscribe option where provided.

8. International processing

NextDev, Inc. is a United States company. Information may be processed in the United States and in locations where our providers operate. Privacy laws may differ between jurisdictions. Where applicable law requires safeguards for a transfer, we use the measures required for that transfer.

9. Children

NextLAW’s services are intended for adults and are not directed to children under 18. If you believe a child has provided personal information through this site, please contact us so we can review and address it.

10. Policy updates

We may update this policy as our services or practices change. The date at the top identifies the current version. We will provide additional notice of material changes when required by applicable law.
