Privacy Policy

Acceptance of Privacy Policy

Please read this Privacy Policy carefully.

By using the platform, you consent to this Privacy Policy and the terms of use and our collection, use and sharing of your information and data, and other activities, as described below.

Changes to Privacy Policy

We may change this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect new services, changes in our Personal Data practices or relevant laws. Any changes are effective when we post the revised Privacy Policy on the Services. We may provide you with disclosures and alerts regarding the Privacy Policy or Personal Data collected by posting them on our website and, if you are a User, by contacting you through your email address and/or the physical address listed in your GTL account.

Personal Information We Collect

Personal and Demographic Information

Our Platform uses essential cookies and other technologies to function effectively.

This information may be provided through various forms and in various places on the Platform, including account registration forms, contact us forms, job application forms, or when you otherwise interact with the Platform. If we combine Demographic Information with the Personal Information we collect directly from you on the Platform, we will treat the combined data as Personal Information under this Privacy Policy.

You are under no obligation to provide Personal Information, but if you elect not to provide it, you may be unable to use certain features of the Platform or to communicate with us via the Platform.

Cookies

Cookies are small text files that are stored in a computer's web browser memory. They help website providers with things like understanding how people use a website, remembering a User's login details, and storing website preferences.

We only use essential cookies to enable certain Platform features and functionality. We do not use cookies to track, display ads, or send information elsewhere. For example, we use cookies to:

• keep you logged in
• remember your preferences
• identify your device for security and fraud purposes, including as needed to maintain the integrity of our Service

Do Not Track Signals

At present, there is no industry standard for recognizing Do Not Track browser signals, so we do not respond to them.

Third Party Services

We do not use any third-party cookies or send any information to third-party analytics services.

Use by Minors

The Services are not directed to individuals under the age of thirteen (13), and we request that they not provide Personal Data through the Services.

How We Disclose Personal Information

GTL does not sell or rent Personal Data to marketers or unaffiliated third parties. We share your Personal Data with trusted entities, as outlined below.

Service Providers

We share Personal Data with a limited number of our service providers. We have service providers that provide services on our behalf, such as identity verification services, website hosting, data analysis, information technology and related infrastructure, customer service, email delivery, and auditing services. These service providers may need to access Personal Data to perform their services. We authorize such service providers to use or disclose the Personal Data only as necessary to perform services on our behalf or comply with legal requirements. We require such service providers to contractually commit to protect the security and confidentiality of Personal Data they process on our behalf.

Our Users and Third Parties Authorised by Our Users

We share Personal Data with Users as necessary to maintain a User account and provide the Services. We share data with parties directly authorized by a User to receive Personal Data. The use of Personal Data by an authorized third party is subject to the third party's privacy policy.

Corporate Transactions

In the event that we enter into, or intend to enter into, a transaction that alters the structure of our business, such as a reorganization, merger, sale, joint venture, assignment, transfer, change of control, or other disposition of all or any portion of our business, assets or stock, we may share Personal Data with third parties for the purpose of facilitating and completing the transaction.

Administrative and Legal

We may also disclose and transfer Personal Information to third parties if we have a good-faith belief that access, use, preservation or disclosure of the information is reasonably necessary to:

• meet any applicable law, regulation, legal process or enforceable governmental request;
• enforce the Platform's Terms of Use, including investigation of potential violations;
• detect, prevent, or otherwise address fraud, security or technical issues; and/or
• protect against harm to the rights, property or safety of Ground Truth Labs, our users or the public as required or permitted by law.

Your Access To and Control Of Personal Information

You are responsible for maintaining the accuracy of the information you submit to us, such as your contact information provided as part of registration. The Platform may allow you to review, modify, correct or update Personal Information you have provided through the Platform's settings interface or otherwise, and you may provide registration updates and changes by contacting us at the email address or phone number below.

At any time, you may also contact us at our privacy email address (privacy@groundtruthlabs.com) to ask that we remove your name, contact information, and email address from our databases. We will make good faith efforts to make any requested changes or removals in our then active databases as soon as reasonably practicable.

It is not always possible to completely remove or delete all of your information from our databases and that residual data may remain on backup media or for other reasons. When you edit your Personal Information, information that you remove may persist internally for our administrative purposes. Note that if you request us to delete or remove any data, you may be unable to use certain features of the Platform or to communicate with us via the Platform. Further, we may not accommodate a request to change information if we believe the change would violate any law or legal requirement or cause the information to be incorrect.

Data Retention

We retain your personal information only for the duration necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy. We store and utilize your personal information to the extent required for compliance with our legal obligations (for example, preserving your data in adherence to applicable laws), resolving disputes, and enforcing our legal agreements and policies.

Security

We incorporate reasonable safeguards to help protect and secure your Personal Information. All communications between our servers is encrypted in transit, and we take measures to protect the integrity of our servers and the data they collect.

Unfortunately, no data transmission or storage system can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. If you have reason to believe that your interaction with us is no longer secure (for example, if you feel that the security of your account has been compromised), please contact us immediately.
