Privacy Policy
Last updated: March 31, 2026
This Privacy Policy describes how Nax and its affiliates ("Nax", "we", "us", or "our") collect, use, and share information in connection with our venue capacity management platform and related services. It applies to all users of the Service regardless of location.
1. Definitions
Throughout this policy, we use the following terms:
- "Service" refers to the Nax platform, including the web application, APIs, and all related tools and features.
- "Personal Data" means any information that identifies or could reasonably be used to identify an individual, such as name, email address, or IP address.
- "Organization" refers to a venue owner, security firm, or other entity that creates an account on the Service.
- "Administrator" refers to the individual who manages an Organization's account, subscription, and settings.
- "Manager" refers to a user assigned to oversee one or more venues within an Organization.
- "Staff" refers to door personnel and employees who use the Service for occupancy counting.
- "Venue Data" refers to aggregate occupancy counts, access point configurations, shift reports, and operational information associated with a venue. Venue Data does not contain Personal Data of venue guests or visitors.
Information we collect
a. Account information
When you create an account, we collect your name, email address, organization name, and password. If you are invited to the platform by another Organization, we collect the information provided during the invitation and onboarding process. For Staff accounts, we collect the username and name provided by the Administrator.
b. Venue and operational data
We collect data related to venue operations, including venue names, addresses, capacity limits, access point configurations, and occupancy counts. Occupancy data consists of aggregate entry and exit counts and does not include any personally identifiable information about venue guests or visitors.
c. Shift reports and incident logs
Users may submit shift reports containing event descriptions, incident summaries, visitor counts, and optional photographs. These reports are stored securely and accessible only to authorized members of the submitting Organization and linked partner Organizations.
d. Usage and device data
We automatically collect technical information when you use the Service, including IP address, browser type, operating system, device identifiers, and pages visited. This data is used for service operation, security monitoring, and improvement of the Service.
How we use your information
We process information for the following purposes:
- Providing, operating, and maintaining the Service
- Managing accounts, subscriptions, and billing
- Processing occupancy data and generating analytics and forecasts
- Facilitating partnerships between venue owners and security firms
- Sending service-related communications, including trial and subscription notices
- Enforcing our terms, preventing fraud, and ensuring platform security
- Complying with applicable legal obligations
Guest privacy
Nax is designed to count venue entries and exits without collecting any personally identifiable information about guests or visitors. The Service does not use cameras, facial recognition, biometric scanning, or any form of individual identification. Occupancy data consists solely of aggregate numerical counts.
The Service includes an optional guest list feature that allows Organizations to manually enter guest names for operational purposes such as VIP management. This data is entered voluntarily by the Organization, stored only for the duration of the active session, and can be cleared at any time by the Organization. Nax acts as a data processor for this information — the Organization is the data controller and is responsible for obtaining any necessary consent. Guest list data is not shared with third parties, used for marketing, or retained beyond the Organization's active use.
Data sharing and disclosure
We share information only in the following circumstances:
a. Within partnerships
When a venue owner and security firm are linked on the platform, Venue Data for shared venues is accessible to both parties in accordance with permissions configured by the inviting Organization. Administrators control what information is visible to invited parties.
b. Service providers
We engage third-party service providers for infrastructure hosting, email delivery, and payment processing. These providers process data strictly as necessary to deliver their services and are bound by data processing agreements that restrict further use or disclosure.
c. Legal and regulatory
We may disclose information where required by law, regulation, legal process, or enforceable governmental request. We may also disclose information to protect the rights, property, or safety of Nax, our users, or the public.
Data storage and security
All data is stored on enterprise-grade infrastructure located in Frankfurt, Germany, within the European Union. Our infrastructure providers maintain industry-standard security certifications.
Data is encrypted in transit using TLS 1.3 and at rest using AES-256 encryption. Database connections are secured and access is restricted through role-based authentication. The Service implements role-based access control: Administrators have full access to their Organization's data, Managers access only assigned venues, and Staff accounts are limited to occupancy counting.
While we implement commercially reasonable measures to protect your information, no method of electronic transmission or storage is completely secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security of data transmitted to or stored by the Service.
Data retention
We retain account and operational data for as long as your account is active or as necessary to provide the Service. Occupancy logs, shift reports, and analytics data are retained for the duration of the subscription to support compliance, audit, and operational requirements. Upon account deletion, all associated data is permanently purged within 30 days, unless a longer retention period is required by applicable law.
International data transfers
The Service is operated from the European Union. If you access the Service from outside the EU, your information may be transferred to, stored, and processed in the EU. Where data is transferred across borders, we ensure appropriate legal safeguards are in place, including Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission or other mechanisms recognized under applicable law.

Depending on your location, you may have the following rights with respect to your Personal Data:
- Access: Request a copy of the Personal Data we hold about you.
- Correction: Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete data.
- Deletion: Request deletion of your Personal Data, subject to legal retention obligations.
- Portability: Request your data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format.
- Objection: Object to certain processing activities.
