Introduction
Groundwork BioAg Ltd. (“us“, “we” or “Company“) respects the privacy of its end users (“you” or “User“) and are committed to protecting the privacy of Users who access, visit, use or engage with our website located at https://groundworkbioag.com, or any of its subdomains, mobile applications and web pages (the “Website“), and any other online service, content and material contained thereon (collectively: the “Services“).
Our privacy policy (“Privacy Policy”) will help you understand what types of information we collect through the Services, how the Company uses it, and what choices you have. We encourage you to read this Privacy Policy carefully and use it to make informed decisions. By using our Services, you agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy and your continued use of the Services constitutes your ongoing agreement to it.
What information do we collect?
We may collect the following types of information from or about you:
Personal Information
Personal Information is individually identifiable information, namely information that identifies an individual or may with reasonable effort identify an individual. We gather the following types of Personal Information:
• Communication information: When you communicate with us, for example when you send us a message through the “contact form” on our Website, we will collect your full name, email address, phone number and any Personal Data you chose to include in your inquiry.
• Device information: We also collect specific types of connection details and information with regard to your device, software or hardware that may identify you, such as your IP address, UDID and geolocation.
Non-personal Information
Non-personal Information is non-identifiable information that, when taken alone, cannot be used to identify you. As such, we are not aware of the identity of the user from which the Non-personal Information was collected. Such information includes:
• Technical information – Our servers automatically record certain information regarding the use of our Services. Such data may include information such as the website that a User was visiting before accessing our Services and other statistics related to Users use of our Services. We use this information to administer the Services and analyze this information to improve and enhance the Services by expanding their features and functionality. Such data is also used for troubleshooting errors and bugs as well as for research and analytics purposes about your use of the Services. It includes information such as website visits, the browser used and its display settings, operating system, device type, session start/stop time, time zone, network connection type (e.g., Wi-Fi, cellular), and non-identifiable cookie information (as further described in the “Tracking Technologies” section of this policy).
• Information from third parties – this includes information we receive from our business partners. This may include pseudonymous advertiser identifiers that some advertisers or other third party ad platforms choose to share with us. This information is also used to enhance data points about a particular unique browser or device.
We may anonymize or de-identify the information collected by the Services or via other means so that the information cannot, on its own, personally identify you. Our use and disclosure of such aggregated or de-identified information is not subject to any restrictions under this Privacy Policy, and we may disclose it to others without limitation and for any purpose.
For the avoidance of doubt, if we combine Personal Information with Non-personal Information (e.g. analytics data), the combined information will be treated as Personal Information as long as it remains combined.
