What Personal Data We Collect and Why We Collect It
Personal Information
STNDRD may require user verification to access content in specific workspaces or company locations. We collect identification details necessary to confirm that users are who they claim to be (authentication) and to ensure they are permitted to access the resources assigned to them (authorization). We and/or our customers may collect personal data to:
- Authenticate and authorize users
- Enforce our Terms of Service and agreements
- Manage licensing, usage rights, and role-based access.
Content
Because our platform is content-driven, we collect:
- Content you submit or receive via the platform
- Transaction records related to content usage, for analytics and legal compliance.
Location Data
Our Services rely on GPS and detailed, real-world spatial data. We may collect precise visual positional data and contextual information about the physical environment (such as proximity to equipment, orientation within a space, or interactions at specific locations). We collect:
- Real-time location, spatial, and visual positional data
- Contextual data about the physical environment (e.g., equipment proximity, orientations, interactions at specific locations)
- Location history (if enabled), including environmental context and spatial relationships
We use this data to:
- Provide location-aware features
- Support location hosts, event organizers, and third-party suppliers.
- Enhance platform responsiveness and user experience.
Location data is collected only with your explicit consent, and may be disabled in your device settings.
Media
If you upload media (images, videos, etc.), embedded metadata (such as EXIF GPS location, timestamps, or device information) may remain intact. STNDRD does not automatically strip metadata from uploaded media.
Uploaded media is linked with your User ID and may be associated with your activity history. This enables traceability for auditing, content ownership, and support purposes.
We recommend removing sensitive metadata from files before uploading if privacy is a concern. This may not be possible in all cases.
Cookies and Tracking Technologies
We may use cookies, SDKs, and other tracking technologies to:
- Analyze user behavior
- Improve application performance
- Deliver relevant content
Cookie preferences can be managed via your browser or device settings.
User Interaction Data
To enhance usability and troubleshoot technical issues, we may track user interaction data such as mouse movements, scrolling behavior, and clicks. This semi-anonymous data is used in aggregate to improve website functionality, user experience, and detect technical issues.
Analytics
We analyze usage patterns across our Services to:
- Improve platform functionality
- Personalize content and services
- Conduct business and statistical analysis
We may combine anonymous data from STNDRD with data from third parties and share anonymized insights with partners such as investors, advertisers, or business consultants. These insights cannot be used to identify individual users.
Session Storage
We use browser-based session storage to:
- Maintain login state and organization context during a session
- Temporarily store user preferences or inputs
- Support in-progress content creation or viewing
Session storage is automatically cleared after 7 days. It is not shared with third parties.
Sensitive Information
We may collect and process:
- Organizational affiliations (e.g., the company or workspace you are linked to)
- Usage behavior (e.g., training completion, time spent on specific work, and feature interaction patterns)
This data helps organizations manage training programs, monitor engagement, and meet compliance or reporting requirements. It is accessible only to authorized personnel and is never sold or shared externally without explicit permission. This data is processed in accordance with our contractual obligations and applicable privacy laws.
Who We Share Your Data With
We may share your data with:
- Internal employees and contractors
- Service providers (e.g., email delivery, analytics, support)
- Business partners and licensees as outlined in our agreements
Examples of Data Sharing
- Aggregated data for developing services, advertising, or content
- Personal data for operational services (e.g., marketing, email campaigns)
- Information shared in corporate transactions (e.g., mergers, acquisitions)
- Legal entities, when required by law or to investigate fraud, illegal activity, or violations of our Terms
All third parties are required to maintain confidentiality and comply with U.S. data protection regulations.
Data Retention
We retain personal data only as long as necessary to:
- Fulfill the purposes described above
- Comply with legal obligations
- Resolve disputes and enforce agreements

Children's Privacy
Our Services are not intended for children under 13 (or the minimum age required by U.S. law in your state). We do not knowingly collect data from children. If we learn we have collected such data, we will delete it promptly.
