Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Girdergrove, Inc. ("the Company," "we," "us," or "our") operates the website girdergrove.com (the "Service"). This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have. It applies to information we collect through the Service and through direct communications with you.

Girdergrove builds construction schedule intelligence software for general contractors and project owners. The information we collect is limited to what is necessary to deliver our early-warning and risk-tracking product, respond to inquiries, and operate this website. We do not sell personal information. We do not use project data submitted by users to train machine learning models without explicit written consent.

The Company is based at 2 North Central Avenue, Suite 1800, Phoenix AZ 85004 and can be reached at [email protected].

2. Information We Collect

2.1 Information You Provide

We collect information you submit directly, including:

• Contact details (name, email, phone) when you fill out a form, request early access, or subscribe to updates;
• Company information you choose to share (employer, role, project context, number of active projects);
• The content of any messages you send us via the contact form or email;
• Login credentials (email and password) when you create an account for the Girdergrove product.

2.2 Project Data

When you use the Girdergrove product, you may connect your Procore, Fieldwire, or Buildertrend account via API, or upload schedule files (CSV, XER, XML), daily log documents (PDF or text), and RFI records. This project data is processed solely to generate schedule risk flags, early-warning summaries, and owner reports as directed by you. We do not use this project data for any purpose beyond providing the Service to you, and we do not share it with third parties except as required by law.

2.3 Information Collected Automatically

When you visit girdergrove.com, we automatically collect limited technical information:

• IP address and approximate location (city/region level);
• Browser type, operating system, device class;
• Pages visited, referring URLs, time on page;
• Cookie and similar identifiers (see Section 5).

2.4 We Do Not Knowingly Collect Children's Data

girdergrove.com is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us information, contact [email protected] and we will delete it.

3. How We Use Information

We use the information we collect to:

• Respond to inquiries and provide requested information about the Girdergrove product;
• Operate, maintain, and improve the Service, including schedule risk analysis and owner reporting features;
• Send service updates, early-access notifications, and (with your consent where required) marketing communications;
• Detect, investigate, and prevent fraud or abuse;
• Comply with legal obligations.

We do not sell personal information for monetary value. Where applicable state law treats certain advertising arrangements as a "sale" or "share," see your state's section below.

4. Sharing of Information

We share personal information only with:

• Service providers acting on our behalf (e.g., hosting, email delivery, analytics) under contractual confidentiality terms;
• Authorities, when required by law or to protect rights, safety, or property;
• A successor entity in the event of a merger, acquisition, or asset sale, subject to this Policy.

We do not sell personal information to third parties. We do not share project data (schedule files, daily logs, RFI records) with any party other than the infrastructure providers necessary to deliver the Service.

5. Cookies and Tracking

We use cookies and similar technologies to operate the site, remember preferences, and measure usage. For details and choices, see our Cookie Policy.

6. Data Retention

We retain personal information only as long as needed for the purposes described, to comply with legal or accounting obligations, and to resolve disputes. Inactive marketing-list contacts are purged after 24 months. Server access logs are retained 90 days, then aggregated. Project data uploaded by users is retained for the duration of the active account and deleted within 30 days of account closure upon request.

7. Security

We use administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information, including TLS encryption in transit, restricted-access databases, and least-privilege access controls. No system is perfectly secure; we cannot guarantee absolute security.

8. Your General Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have rights including access, correction, deletion, and the ability to limit certain processing. To make a request, email [email protected]. We will respond within the timeframe required by applicable law.

9. Arizona Residents

Arizona does not currently have a comprehensive consumer privacy statute. As a matter of policy, we extend the following baseline rights to all U.S. residents regardless of state of residence.

9.1 Baseline Rights

• Right to Know: request the categories of personal information we have collected about you.
• Right to Delete: request deletion of personal information you have provided.

9.3 Sector-Specific Rights

If you are protected by federal sector laws (e.g., HIPAA, GLBA, FERPA), those laws may give you additional rights with respect to data covered by them.

9.4 California Visitors

If you are a California resident visiting from another state, you may also exercise the rights granted under the California Consumer Privacy Act ("CCPA") and California Privacy Rights Act ("CPRA"), including the right to know, the right to delete, the right to correct, and the right to opt out of sale or sharing. We do not sell personal information and do not "share" personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising.
