Information about our organization and websites

Groundwork Creative Space LLC and its subsidiaries (“Groundwork”) are providing this notice to you of our Privacy Policy and practices and of the choices you can make about the way your information is collected online and how that information is used. Please read this Privacy Policy carefully and revisit this page from time to time to review any changes that may have been made.

Groundwork may amend this Privacy Policy at any time by posting the amended terms on this site. All amended terms automatically take effect on the date set out in the posted Privacy Policy, unless otherwise specified.

Sites covered by this Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy applies to all Groundwork-owned websites and domains (groundwork.space)  as well as regional or country-specific sites (collectively, “Groundwork Websites”). The Groundwork Websites may provide links to third-party websites for your convenience and information. If you access those links, you will leave the Groundwork Websites. We do not control those sites or their privacy practices, which may differ from our own privacy practices. This Privacy Policy does not cover any personal data that you choose to give to unrelated third parties. We do not monitor or control the information collected by such sites or the privacy practices of any third parties, and we are not responsible for their practices or the content of their sites.

Types of information we collect and use

In this policy, “personal information” or “personal data” means information about an identifiable individual that is subject to protection under the law in the jurisdiction in which you reside. In some jurisdictions, “personal information” or “personal data” will not include business contact information.

The Groundwork Website collects information through a variety of different ways and for different purposes. If you choose to register with the Groundwork Websites, then you will be requested to provide contact information (name, address, telephone number, email address, a unique login name, and password). We use this information to contact you about the services on our site in which you have expressed interest. We may also use your contact information to send you information about other Groundwork products and services as well as promotional material that may be of interest to you from some of our marketing partners. If you do not want to receive these promotional announcements, you may opt-out when you provide us with contact information or at any time after you register by updating your preferences (see the Opt-Out section below).

You also have the option to provide demographic information (such as type of business, size of business, locations, etc.). Groundwork uses this demographic information to understand your needs and interests and to provide you a more personalized experience on our site. The information is used by Groundwork to process your orders, enable participation in promotions, and facilitate your relationship with us.

Through the Groundwork Websites, you can order products or services, request information, or subscribe to marketing or support materials. In order to purchase a product or service from us, we will request certain information from you. You will need to provide contact information (such as name, email and shipping address) and financial information (such as credit card number, billing address, and expiration date). Financial information collected from you is used only to bill you for the products and services that you have purchased.

If we collect credit card information from you, we only use this information for payment processing and fraud prevention. Credit card information and other similar sensitive personal data are not used for any other purpose by Groundwork without your express consent. 

In most cases, you provide us with your consent to use your personal data in accordance with this policy by providing us with that information. In some cases, we may specifically ask for your express consent if we believe that the information is sensitive or our use of the information may include other uses not covered by this Privacy Policy or another privacy notice to which we have made available to you.

Groundwork Websites automatically collects technical information about your visit (such as browser type, Internet service provider, platform type, internet protocol (IP) addresses, referring/exit pages, operating system, date/time stamp). We do not associate this information with other information about you. We aggregate this information for reporting about the Groundwork Websites to analyze trends, diagnose problems with our server and administer the Groundwork Website, to track user movement and use, and to gather broad demographic information.

Communications from Groundwork

Once you register, we will send you a welcoming email to verify your username and password. We will also respond to your inquiries, provide services you request and manage your account. We will communicate with you by email or telephone and will make every effort to honor your preference.

We will also send you information on new products, services, special savings, promotions and general information. If you do not want to receive this information, you can opt-out of receiving future mailings (see Opt-Out section below).

If you wish to subscribe to our newsletters, we will use your name and email address to send the newsletter to you. You can sign up for these newsletters from us on our registration page. You may unsubscribe at any time (see Opt-Out section below).

When necessary, Groundwork will send you service-related announcements, which are not promotional in nature. If you do not wish to receive them, you may deactivate your account with the Groundwork Website.

Sharing of information and Cross-border Transfers

Groundwork contracts with third-party service providers and suppliers to deliver complete products, services and customer solutions described above. These service providers may change or we may contract with additional service providers to better accommodate our customers. Groundwork affiliates may provide services to you or to your local Groundwork affiliate and may receive personal data about you. If we transfer your personal data to affiliates or third parties, we require the recipients of your personal data to safeguard your personal data using administrative, technical and security procedures; however, your personal data will also be subject to the laws of the jurisdiction governing our affiliate or the third party.

Your personal data may be transferred across state borders and country borders. Residents of the EEA and Canada should understand that your personal data may be transferred outside of the EEA and Canada to the United States and other countries for the purposes of data consolidation, storage, simplified customer information management, reporting and other internal uses.

Groundwork does not disclose personal data with third parties for their own use without your permission. However, in some cases, Groundwork may be required to share information as a result of applicable law. For example, Groundwork may be required to disclose information as a result of a court order, subpoena or warrant. In addition, we may, subject to applicable law, voluntarily provide information in order to assist in a law enforcement investigation or where the disclosure is necessary to protect our systems, our business or the rights of others.

Cookies and other digital markers

Groundwork automatically gathers information through the use of cookies and other digital markers. Cookies and digital markers are small computer files that may be stored on your computer’s hard drive or embedded in our website pages that enable us to identify you and track your visit on the Groundwork Website. For example, when you book office space, we use cookies in the checkout process in order to keep track of your order as you move through each step of the booking process. Groundwork may use the services of third-parties to collect and process personal information through the use of cookies and other digital markers on our behalf. You may disable cookies on your computer by changing the settings in the preferences or options menu in your browser. If you choose to disable cookies, you may not be able to access certain areas of the Groundwork Website. Groundwork’s systems do not have functionality to receive or recognize a Do-Not-Track signal sent by a customer through a browser.
