Cookies

Cookies are small text files that enhance your browsing experience. We use them to:

Save your name and email when you leave a comment, so you do not have to re-enter them later.
Track site performance through analytics.
Remember your display preferences and login status if you have an account.

You can control or delete cookies anytime through your browser settings.

Embedded Content and External Links

Articles may include embedded videos, images, or links to other sites. Embedded content behaves as if you visited those sites directly.

Those websites may collect data, use cookies, or track your interactions. Please review their privacy policies to understand how they handle your data.

Data Sharing

We only share your information when it is necessary to operate the website effectively, such as with:

Hosting, analytics, or spam-prevention providers.
Legal authorities when required by law.

If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the email for security verification.

Data Retention

Comments and their metadata are stored indefinitely to recognize future comments automatically.
User profile information (if any) remains until the user requests deletion.
Newsletter subscriber data is retained until you unsubscribe.

Your Rights

If you are in the European Union or UK (GDPR):

You have the right to access, correct, delete, restrict, or object to the use of your personal data.
You may also request a copy of your data in a portable format.

If you are a California resident (CCPA/CPRA):

You have the right to know what data we collect, request deletion, and opt out of the sale or sharing of personal data (we do not sell data).
You also have the right to non-discrimination when exercising your privacy rights.

To make a privacy-related request, please email contact@groundworkdaily.com. We may verify your identity before processing requests.

Data Security

We take reasonable administrative, technical, and physical steps to protect your information from unauthorized access or misuse. However, no system is entirely secure, and online transmission is always at your own risk.

International Data Transfers

Groundwork Daily is based in the United States. By using this website, you consent to your data being processed and stored in the U.S. and other locations where our service providers operate.

Children’s Privacy

Groundwork Daily does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 16 years of age. If you believe a child has shared information, please contact us so it can be removed.
