Privacy PolicyLast updated June 19, 2026Groundtruth is a real-world data-collection marketplace operated by Outerscope LLC (Texas, USA). This policy explains what we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have. By using Groundtruth you agree to this policy.
Information we collect• Account information: your email address, an encrypted password (we never store it in plain text), your role (data buyer or contributor), and, for buyers, your organisation name.• Submissions you choose to provide: the media you capture for a task — video, audio, photos, and LiDAR depth scans — together with basic metadata such as duration, file size, format, and the time of capture.• Payment information: payments and payouts are processed by Stripe. We do not collect or store full card numbers or bank account numbers; Stripe handles that directly under its own privacy policy.• Technical information: standard server logs such as IP address and device or browser type, used to keep the service secure and working.
How we use your informationWe use your information to operate the marketplace, show contributors relevant tasks, let buyers review and approve submissions, process payments and payouts, provide support, and detect and prevent fraud and abuse.
How we share information• With data buyers: when you submit media to a task and the buyer approves it, that submission is shared with the buyer for the purpose described in the task.• With service providers: Stripe (payments and payouts), Supabase (authentication, database, and encrypted file storage), and our hosting/infrastructure providers — only as needed to run the service.• For legal reasons: when required by law or to protect the rights, safety, and security of Groundtruth, our users, or the public.We do not sell your personal information.
Your responsibilities when submittingOnly submit media you captured yourself and have the right to share. Do not include other people, private property, or personal information without the necessary consent. You can read more in our Terms of Service.
Data retention and securityWe keep your information for as long as your account is active and as needed to provide the service and meet legal obligations. Files are stored privately and served only through short-lived, signed links; data is protected with row-level security and encryption in transit.
Your rightsYou can access, correct, or delete your account information, and request deletion of your submissions, by contacting us at privacy@outerscope.xyz. We will respond within a reasonable timeframe.
