By using these Services, you consent to the collection, transfer, processing, storage, disclosure and other uses of your information described in this Privacy Policy.
What information does Groundwork collect and store?
Personal Information
When expressing an interest in obtaining additional information about the Services or registering to use the Services, Groundwork requires you to provide your personal contact information, such as your name, company name, address, phone number, and email address (these are referred to below as your “Personal Contact Information”). When purchasing the Services, Groundwork also requires you to provide financial and billing information, such as billing name and address, credit card number, and the number of employees within the organization that will be using the Services (“Billing Information”).
Data, Diagnostic & Login Information
Using Groundwork’s Services, you will be able to create, upload, store and share information such as company description, email ID, logo, photos, custom emails, user email IDs, and similar materials (this is collectively referred to below as “Data”). This information will be stored and maintained in connection with Groundwork’s Services. If you run into technical errors in the course of using the Services, Groundwork may request your permission to obtain a crash report along with certain logging information from your system documenting the error (“Diagnostic Information”). Such information may contain information regarding your operating system version, hardware, and browser version, and your email address, if provided. Additionally, certain login information is maintained in a cookie stored locally on your computer in order to streamline the login process (“Login Information”).
Analytics Information
As you navigate Groundwork’s website and use our Services, Groundwork may also collect information through the use of frequently used information-gathering tools, such as cookies and web beacons (“Website Navigational Information”). Website Navigational Information includes standard information from your web browser (such as browser type and browser language), your Internet Protocol (“IP”) address, and the actions you take on Groundwork’s website (such as web pages viewed and links clicked). Collectively, this information is referred to as “Analytics Information.”
Third party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user’s prior visits to your website or other websites. Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to your users based on their visit to your sites and/or other sites on the Internet. Users may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google’s Ads Settings or by visiting www.aboutads.info.
Geo-Location Information
Groundwork does not collect any information regarding your real-time geo-location while using the Services; however, it may do so at some point in the future. We will request your permission before collecting such information.
What does Groundwork do with the information it collects?
Groundwork uses the information it collects in the following ways:
- Personal Contact Information — We use this information primarily to administer our Services to you and provide you with updates and product announcements. Per these terms, we may use some of your information for marketing purposes, as explained below.
- Billing Information — Groundwork does not store any Billing Information on its servers. Instead, we use a payment provider, Stripe (www.stripe.com), to store and process all payment related transactions.
- Data, Diagnostic Information and Login Information — We use this information solely for the purpose of administering and improving our Services to you.
- Analytics Information — Groundwork may use your Analytics Information in conjunction with an analytics service such as Google Analytics to monitor and analyze use of the Services, for the Services’ technical administration, to increase the Services’ functionality and user-friendliness, and to verify users have the authorization required for the Services to process their requests.
Sharing & disclosure of private information
Third Party Applications and Your Use
Groundwork may provide users with the ability to link to their Data on third party sites such as Facebook, X and LinkedIn. Such linking is at the complete discretion of users. Because of this, Groundwork cannot be held responsible or liable for the linking of a user’s Data to such third party sites, nor for how these third party sites use such links.

Per these terms, you agree to permit Groundwork to identify you as a customer and to use your name and/or logo on Groundwork’s website and marketing materials.
Sale of Personal Information
Groundwork does not sell, rent, or trade your private information to any third parties in any way.
Service Providers and Business Partners
Groundwork may use certain trusted third party companies and individuals to help us provide, analyze, and improve the Services (including, but not limited to, data storage, maintenance services, database management, web analytics, payment processing, and improvement of the Services’ features). These third parties may have access to your information strictly for the purposes of performing these tasks on our behalf and under obligations similar to those in this Privacy Policy.
Non-Private or Non-Personal Information
We may disclose your non-private, aggregated, or otherwise non-personal information, such as usage statistics of our Services, in our discretion.
Our use and disclosure of information
Groundwork will not disclose any personally identifiable information about any individual except as set forth in this Privacy Policy. This applies to information about our customers and information our customers provide to us about their customers. We are not limited in any way in our use of non-personal information that does not permit direct association with any specific individual or non-identifiable aggregate information about our users.
We collect, store and process your personally identifiable information on servers located in the United States. Due to the unpredictable nature of Internet routing, your information may pass through other countries while in transit to our servers. We use the information we collect about you in order to develop and deliver our services, process your transactions, provide customer service and manage your account, and improve our products, services and marketing. We provide access to personally identifiable information about our users only to those who require it for the above purposes.
Groundwork will not sell or rent any of your personally identifiable information to third parties. Groundwork will not share any of your personally identifiable information with third parties except in the limited circumstances described in this Policy: with service providers under contract who help with our business operations; to cooperate, in good faith, with investigations of fraud or other illegal activity, or to protect our rights and the safety of others; in response to a subpoena, warrant, court order, or other comparable legal process; to your agent or legal representative; and with companies that provide public relations and marketing services for us, solely to customize, measure and improve our products, services and advertising. These third parties are contractually obligated to protect your information and are prohibited from using your personally identifiable information for any other purpose.
As with any other business, it is possible that in the future Groundwork could merge with or be acquired by another company. If such an acquisition occurs, the successor company would have access to the information maintained by Groundwork, including customer account information, but would continue to be bound by this Privacy Policy until it is amended.
Data retention
We will retain your information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide you the Services. If you wish to cancel your account or request that we no longer use your information to provide you the Services, you may contact us to delete your account. If you delete your account, your Data will no longer be stored in our servers. While we try to delete your Data from our servers as quickly as possible, please be aware that there may be a delay from the time you delete your account to the time that your Data is removed, and that some of your Data may continue to exist for a period in backup copies.
Changes to this Privacy Policy
If we decide to make material changes to our Privacy Policy, we will notify you by email through the primary email address specified in your account and/or post those changes to this Privacy Policy on the website prior to the changes taking effect. You are responsible for ensuring we have an up-to-date, active and deliverable email address for you, and for regularly reviewing this Privacy Policy and related documents. We reserve the right to modify this Privacy Policy at any time.
In the event that Groundwork goes through a business transition, such as a merger, an acquisition by another company, or a sale of a portion of its assets, users’ personally identifiable information will, in most instances, be part of the assets transferred. Users will be notified via prominent notice on the site for 30 days after a change of ownership or control of their personally identifiable information.
