We may share your Personal Data: (i) at your direction or with your consent, (ii) if required to do so by law in order to, for example, respond to a subpoena or request from law enforcement, a court or a government agency (including in response to public authorities to meet national security or law enforcement requirements) or (iii) in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to: (a) comply with a legal obligation, (b) protect or defend our rights, interests or property or that of our employees, agents, members, customers and other third parties, (c) prevent or investigate possible wrongdoing in connection with our products and services, (d) enforce our terms and conditions, policies and agreements, (e) act in urgent circumstances to protect the personal safety of you, other individuals or the public or (f) protect against legal liability.
WeWork’s products and services are available around the world. To make that possible, your Personal Data may be transferred to, accessed by and stored by us and Third Parties in the United States and other countries, which may include jurisdictions outside your own. These jurisdictions may have data protection laws that differ from the laws where you reside, and in some cases, may not be as comprehensive or protective. Although the data protection laws of certain jurisdictions may differ from those where you reside, we take appropriate steps, such as implementing standard contractual clauses, relying on adequacy decisions and other international transfer agreements or frameworks approved by regulators and governments, to ensure your Personal Data is handled as described in this Policy and in accordance with applicable data protection law.
We retain Personal Data for a period of time consistent with the original purpose of collection (see Section 5 [Purposes for Which We Process Your Personal Data and the Legal Bases on Which We Rely] above) or as long as required to (i) comply with a legal obligation, (ii) protect or defend our rights, interests or property or that of our employees, agents, members, customers and other third parties, (iii) prevent or investigate possible wrongdoing in connection with our products and services, (iv) enforce our terms and conditions, policies and agreements, (v) protect against legal liability or (vi) pursue legitimate interests or essential business purposes. We determine the appropriate retention period for Personal Data on the basis of the length of time we have an ongoing relationship with you (e.g., for as long as you have an account with us or keep using our products and services), the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the Personal Data being processed, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of the Personal Data, whether we can achieve the purposes of the processing through other means, and on the basis of applicable legal obligations (such as applicable statutes of limitation).Please see Section 11 [Your Rights Relating to Your Personal Data] below to learn more about your right to to request deletion of your Personal Data.
We use appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your Personal Data against accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, and unauthorized disclosure or access.
Such measures take into account the nature of the Personal Data and the processing and the threats posed.While we endeavor to implement generally accepted security measures, no method of storage or transmission is 100% secure. In the event of a security incident, we will notify regulators and/or you as required by applicable laws and regulations. Such notice may come in the form of an email, postal mail, in-app notification or an electronic notice posted online or through our products and services.
Currently, we do not make any decisions based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects (“Automated Decision-Making”). In the event our position changes, we will update this Policy and inform you as required by applicable data protection laws.

Obtain erasure or deletion of your Personal Data;
Obtain restriction of our processing of your Personal Data or object to processing of your Personal Data;
Receive your Personal Data in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format and to transmit such data to another controller where feasible;
Know about the existence of Automated Decision-Making and to not be subject to Automated Decision-Making;

Obtain additional information about the suitable safeguards and means we rely upon with regard to international transfer of Personal Data as described in Section 7 [International Transfers of Personal Data] above.

We will contact you if we need additional information in order to process your request.

We are not responsible for and have no control over the privacy and data security practices of our customers, which may differ from those explained in this Policy. If your data has been submitted to us in our role as a processor by or on behalf of a customer in connection with the WeWork Workplace Platform and you wish to exercise any rights you may have under applicable data protection laws, please contact the customer directly. Because we may only access WeWork Workplace Customer Data upon a customer’s instructions, if you wish to make your request directly to us, please provide us with the name of the customer who submitted your data to us. We will refer your request to that customer and will support them as needed in responding to your request within a reasonable timeframe.

With your consent, we may collect the approximate physical location of your device by using GPS, Bluetooth, cell phone tower locations, Wi-Fi signals and/or other technologies to improve special offers and to enable location-based services. We collect this data if you opt in through the WeWork Apps or other program (either during your initial login or later). If you have opted in to share your location, the WeWork Apps or other program will be able to collect your location data based on how you chose to share the data. You can specify via your device’s operating system (such as through the “Settings” icon) to always share location data, only when the App is in use or never. If you choose only when the App is in use, we will have access to the data until you log off or close the application or if you use your phone’s or other device’s settings to disable location capabilities for the WeWork App or other program.
While some internet browsers offer a “do not track” or “DNT” option that lets you tell websites that you do not want to have your online activities tracked, these features are not yet uniform and there is no common standard adopted by industry groups, technology companies or regulators. Therefore, we currently do not participate in any "do not track" or “DNT” frameworks that would allow us to respond to signals or other mechanisms from you regarding the collection of your Personal Data.

We do not knowingly collect Personal Data from children under the age of 16, or such other applicable age of consent for privacy purposes in relevant individual jurisdictions, unless (a) we have obtained consent from a parent or guardian, (b) such collection is subject to a separate agreement with us or (c) the visit by a child is unsolicited or incidental. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with Personal Data without your consent, please contact us by using the information in Section 14 [Contacting Us] below, and we will take steps to delete their Personal Data from our systems.
From time to time, we will update or modify this Policy, in our sole discretion, to reflect changes in legal and regulatory requirements and our business practices.
