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.
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.
8. Retention
| Data category | Retention period |
|---|---|
| Account information | Lifetime of account + 90 days after deletion |
| Order & transaction records | 7 years (tax & financial compliance) |
| Driver location pings | 90 days hot, archived thereafter |
| Groundcheck reports | 7 years (audit retention) |
| Support communications | 3 years |
| Marketing engagement data | Until you unsubscribe + 1 year |
| Aggregated analytics | Indefinitely (anonymized) |

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