PRIVACY POLICY
Thank you for reviewing the Privacy Policy for groundsolutionsco.com, your web portal into GROUND SOLUTIONS. This Privacy Policy further applies to the entire network of GROUND SOLUTIONS Sites including, but not limited to the websites of GROUND SOLUTIONS subsidiaries and affiliates. GROUND SOLUTIONS is sensitive to the issue of confidentiality in online dealings and is committed to protecting individual privacy. This Privacy Policy is intended to inform user about the general approach GROUND SOLUTIONS uses in collecting, using and disseminating user information via groundsolutionsco.com or other GROUND SOLUTIONS Sites.
WHAT DATA DO WE COLLECT AUTOMATICALLY AND WHY?
When you visit groundsolutionsco.com and you have not otherwise identified yourself (e.g., via contact submission with a GROUND SOLUTIONS Site), our web server automatically recognizes your domain name, but not your e-mail address. We collect the domain name and monitor general site use and traffic pattern to improve our web site and the products and services we offer. GROUND SOLUTIONS uses web server logs to collect data for metric purposes. Examples of the types of data collected on the logs are IP addresses, referral pages, date and time of Site access, and Site visited. We may use collected data to customize the content and/or layout of our page for each individual visitor.
DO WE COLLECT PERSONAL INFORMATION?
In some cases, GROUND SOLUTIONS requests personally identifiable information from you in order to satisfy the underlying transaction or purpose of your accessing the Site. We receive and store any information you enter on our website or give to us in any other way. For example, you provide information when you buy tickets to our events; communicate with us by phone, e-mail or otherwise; or sign up for e-mail alerts. Examples of personally identifiable information include names, e-mail addresses, mailing addresses, and the like. You may supply GROUND SOLUTIONS with personal data of a sensitive nature (e.g., race or ethnic origin, sexual orientation) in connection with an employment application, but GROUND SOLUTIONS does not automatically collect or use such personal data. Please note that we do not consider aggregated information, from which personally identifiable information has been removed, to be private.
If you register on a GROUND SOLUTIONS Site, how will your information be used and secured?
We use information collected about you in accordance with legal bases to comply with our legal obligations, to protect the rights, property, or safety of GROUND SOLUTIONS employees, customers and other third parties.
Additionally, we may use information you share to market and promote services that we believe may be of interest to you. If you prefer that we do not use your data for marketing purposes, you are always free to notify us through relevant ‘unsubscribe’ options or contact us directly. Your information may also be used to improve your user experience.
We take all reasonable measures to protect your personal data and ensure it is only disclosed where there is a legitimate business or legal reason to do so. While we take our duty to protect your personal data very seriously, please remember that any transmission of data is at your own risk.
DO WE SHARE THE INFORMATION WE RECEIVE?
Information about our customers is an important part of our business, and we are not in the business of selling it to others. We share customer information only as described below and with subsidiaries and affiliates that are subject to this Privacy Notice or follow practices at least as protective as those described in this Privacy Notice.
Third-Party Service Providers: We use other companies and individuals to perform functions on our behalf. Examples include sending postal mail and e-mail, removing repetitive information from customer lists, analyzing data, providing marketing assistance, providing search results and links (including paid listings and links), processing credit card payments, and providing customer service. They have access to personal information needed to perform their functions, but may not use it for other purposes.
Business Transfers: As we continue to develop our business, we might sell or buy business units. In such transactions, customer information generally is one of the transferred business assets but remains subject to the promises made in any pre-existing Privacy Notice (unless, of course, the customer consents otherwise). Also, in event that GROUND SOLUTIONS or substantially all of its assets are acquired, customer information will of course be one of the transferred assets.
Protection of GROUND SOLUTIONS and Others: We release account and other personal information when we believe release is appropriate to comply with the law; enforce or apply our Terms of Use and other agreements; or protect the rights, property, or safety of GROUND SOLUTIONS, our users, or others. This includes exchanging information with other companies and organizations for fraud protection and credit risk reduction. Obviously, however, this does not include selling, renting, sharing, or otherwise disclosing personally identifiable information from customers for commercial purposes in violation of the commitments set forth in this Privacy Notice.
Consent: Other than as described above, you will receive notice when information about you might go to third parties, and you will have an opportunity to choose not to share the information.
WHAT ABOUT CHILDREN’S PRIVACY?
GROUND SOLUTIONS asks children under 18 not to transmit any information to the Site. GROUND SOLUTIONS welcomes the parent or guardian of a child under the age of 13 to use the Site and provide any information, service, or product gained for the Site for their child.
