NextGen makes the protection of client data one of our top priorities, and we value the trust we have with our clients and website visitors. We honor that trust by strongly securing the data that our clients and website visitors provide us.
As a NextGen client, the protection of your personal information is your right and our duty.
COPPA Compliance
NextGen has taken measures necessary to be in compliance with COPPA, the California Online Privacy Protection Act. Therefore, NextGen will not and does not distribute your personal information to external parties without your consent. As part of the California Online Privacy Protection Act, all clients of NextGen have the ability to make changes to their information anytime by logging into the NextGen FrontDesk and going to the ‘My Details’ page.
NextGen has also taken precautions to be in compliance with the Childrens Online Privacy Protection Act. Therefore, NextGen does not collect any information from individuals under 13 years of age. NextGen’s website, hosting and design services are all directed to people who are at least 13 years old or older.

Disclosure of Client Information
NextGen does not sell or provide any client information to outside companies, agencies or individuals. We value the privacy of our clients and website visitors, and the only time we will provide client information to an external source is when we are directed to do so by law or through a court order or other court data extraction order, such as a subpeona served upon NextGen.
