Next.js Application — Specific Considerations

Next.js applications combine server-side rendering with client-side React, meaning data collection happens on both the server (IP addresses, request logs) and the client (analytics, cookies). Next.js apps deployed on Vercel automatically collect performance and analytics data through Vercel's infrastructure. The hybrid nature of Next.js requires disclosing both server-side and client-side data collection practices.

Data typically collected by Next.js Application businesses: server-side request logs and IP addresses, Vercel analytics data, client-side analytics events, authentication data, API route request data, cookie and session data

• Vercel infrastructure data processing disclosure
• Server-side and client-side data collection distinction
• Next.js middleware data processing
• Edge function data handling
• API routes as data collection points
