Privacy Policy.

EffectiveApril 30, 2026
Last updated: April 30, 2026

1. Scope & summary

This Privacy Policy describes how Earth Pro Connect LLC (“EarthMove,” “we,” “us”) collects, uses, shares, and protects information when you use earthmove.io, the Groundcheck verification service, and related products.

Plain-language summary: We collect what we need to deliver materials and run trust verifications. We don’t sell your personal data. We use Stripe for payments, Supabase for our database, and standard analytics tools. You can request your data, correct it, or delete your account by emailing support@earthmove.io.

2. Information we collect

Information you provide directly

  • Account information — name, email, phone, company name (for contractor accounts), role
  • Order information — delivery address, project notes, material specifications, quantity
  • Payment information — handled by Stripe; we do not store card numbers, only customer IDs and last-four/brand metadata for receipt rendering
  • Communications — emails, support chat messages, SMS replies to dispatch notifications
  • Search queries — what you search on Groundcheck (the entity name; not the searcher’s identity beyond your account)

Information collected automatically

  • Device & usage — IP address, browser type, operating system, pages visited, referring URL
  • Location — approximate location from IP for market routing; precise location only for drivers using the dispatch app, with explicit consent
  • Cookies & identifiers — see Section 6

Information from third parties

  • Groundcheck verification sources — publicly available business information used to compose verification reports (see Section 5)
  • Authentication providers — if you sign in via Google, Apple, or another OAuth provider, we receive your name and email
  • Payment processors — Stripe shares transaction status and risk signals

3. How we use your information

We use information to:

  • Provide, operate, and improve the Service
  • Process orders and coordinate dispatch with suppliers and drivers
  • Generate Groundcheck verification reports for entities you search
  • Send transactional communications (order confirmations, receipts, delivery notifications, password resets)
  • Send marketing communications you’ve opted into; you can unsubscribe at any time
  • Detect and prevent fraud, abuse, and security incidents
  • Comply with legal obligations
  • Aggregate and anonymize data for product analytics, business reporting, and research

4. Sharing & disclosure

We do not sell your personal information. We share information only as follows:

  • With suppliers and drivers — only what’s needed to fulfill your order (delivery address, contact phone, material specs)
  • With service providers — payment processing (Stripe), database (Supabase), email (transactional providers), SMS (Twilio), mapping (MapLibre/OpenFreeMap), error tracking, analytics. These providers process data on our behalf under contractual privacy and security obligations.
  • For legal reasons — to comply with subpoenas, court orders, or other legal process; to enforce our Terms; to protect our rights, property, or safety
  • In a corporate transaction — if EarthMove is involved in a merger, acquisition, or asset sale, your information may be transferred subject to standard confidentiality protections
  • With your consent — when you explicitly direct us to share with a third party

5. Groundcheck-specific data

Groundcheck reports are about registered business entities— LLCs, corporations, partnerships, and trusts — not individuals. Reports are composed from publicly available information about those entities. Sole proprietors operating under personal names fall outside Groundcheck’s scope.

Groundcheck is not a consumer reporting agency. Reports are not consumer reports under the Fair Credit Reporting Act and may not be used for FCRA-regulated purposes including employment screening, tenant screening, or consumer credit decisions.

Subjects of Groundcheck reports may request a copy of the information we have compiled about their entity, dispute factual inaccuracies, or request that we cease maintaining a profile. Email support@earthmove.iowith subject line “Groundcheck subject request” to begin the process.

6. Cookies & tracking

We use cookies and similar technologies for:

  • Strictly necessary — authentication, session management, security, payment processing
  • Functional — remembering your market preference, dashboard layout, recent searches
  • Analytics — measuring page performance and aggregate usage patterns

We do not use cross-site advertising trackers. You can control cookies through your browser settings; blocking strictly-necessary cookies will prevent core functionality (you won’t be able to sign in, place orders, or run Groundcheck lookups).

7. Security

We use industry-standard security practices including TLS encryption in transit, encryption at rest for sensitive fields, access controls, audit logging, and regular security reviews. Payment data is handled by Stripe under PCI-DSS Level 1 compliance.

No security system is impenetrable. If we discover a security incident affecting your information, we will notify you in accordance with applicable law.

  • Correct — update inaccurate information

To exercise these rights, use the contact channel in Section 9 with subject line “CCPA request.”

We will not discriminate against you for exercising your privacy rights.

11. Children’s privacy

EarthMove is not directed at children under 13 (or 16 in jurisdictions where that is the applicable threshold). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If we become aware that we have collected information from a child without parental consent, we will delete it.

12. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy. Material changes will be posted at this URL with a revised “Last updated” date and, where required by law, communicated to active users. Continued use of the Service after a change constitutes acceptance.
