WeWork cares about your privacy and is committed to maintaining your trust by protecting your personal information.
WeWork provides flexible workspaces and associated services for individuals and companies of all sizes. Our flexible offerings range anywhere from dedicated or non-dedicated workspaces in a shared office to private and configurable offices, full-floors and buildings. WeWork refers to individuals and companies that purchase workspaces as “Members” or “Member Companies”.
In connection with the provision of our services, we regularly process personal information about guests and visitors of our Members and employees at our WeWork locations (collectively referred to below as “visitors”).
This Guest and Visitor Privacy Policy (“Policy”) describes how WeWork collects, uses, discloses, and otherwise processes personal information in connection with your access to, and use of any services, as a visitor of WeWork locations.
This Policy is part of a suite of policies which collectively sets out our privacy practices for the various products and services we provide. For more information about WeWork’s global privacy practices, please refer to the WeWork Global Privacy Policy.
WeWork is comprised of many affiliated entities and group companies around the world, each of which may act as a data controller of your personal information. Please review the list of our global entities for the name of the WeWork entity responsible for your personal information and the appropriate contact information for that entity. The WeWork entity in the country of the WeWork location you are visiting will be the data controller of your personal information.
We use a visitor management platform (“Platform”) to provide space scheduling, visitor management, and workplace analytics services and to produce your digital ID for your visit. Where we refer to the Platform in this Policy we are referring to the visitor management software you access in connection with your visit.
We may collect, use, disclose and otherwise process additional personal information (such as whether you have had COVID or are displaying any COVID symptoms) in connection with our response to COVID. For information regarding WeWork’s data handling practices with respect to COVID-related information, please refer to our COVID-19 Privacy Notice
We collect personal information from you in a number of ways, which depends on how your visit has been arranged, whether you are visiting a Member or a WeWork employee, and which location you are visiting (see Section 3 for more information).
We also collect information via automated means, such as through the Platform, or via other means such as through our on-site CCTV:.
Information we collect via automated means: we use a range of technologies to make your visit as smooth as possible, including through the use of QR access codes and digital visitor IDs. In addition, when you connect to our guest WiFi services, we collect and process certain information about your device.
Other information: while visiting a WeWork location we may collect certain information when you use our facilities and equipment, guest WiFi, shared workspaces, community services and events. All WeWork locations utilize CCTV for the safety and security of our buildings, employees and Members.
In connection with your visit we may process a range of different types of personal information about you. We describe below the personal information that we process and our reasons for doing so. We have organized this information into categories which loosely correspond to different parts of your visit.
We collect or receive information in advance of your visit and when you first arrive at our locations as follows:
Your Contact Information: where you are visiting a Member or a WeWork employee, that individual may pass your information to us. This information will typically include your name, phone number, email address, company details and who you are visiting. This information will be uploaded to the Platform so you can easily sign in when you arrive. We may email you a notification of your upcoming appointment including a link to use your mobile device as part of your visit (see below).
We use your email address in order to send you a link to download the QR access code for your visit onto your mobile device.
We use your contact information more generally to provide you with your digital ID and as part of our site security requirements.
Device and Usage Information: if you are using your mobile device as part of your visit, we will send you a QR access code which you may choose to add to your mobile device’s digital wallet. This will involve us collecting and processing certain information about your device in order to facilitate this including your device identifier e.g., MAC address, IMEI number, IP address etc.
Digital ID: as part of our site security policies, all visitors are provided with a digital ID to access WeWork locations. We also take your photograph through the Platform in order to create a digital ID. This information is used by our site-security teams as well as emailed to your host when you arrive. We collect this information during sign-up (please see the section on how we process photographic information below).
As part of our site security policies, we require all visitors to create a digital ID while visiting WeWork locations.
When you arrive for your visit you will be asked to sign in using the Platform and provide your contact details (or confirm your details if you have already provided this information to us or your host prior to your visit). After confirming your details, the Platform will then take your photograph.
When taking your photograph, the Platform uses technology known as “facial detection” to detect when your face is suitably within the frame to take your picture. “Facial detection” is not to be confused with “facial recognition” technology which actually scans your face to create a unique profile. The Platform does not use “facial recognition” technology on visitors at WeWork locations.
If for any reason you are uncomfortable with having your photograph taken as part of our sign-in process, please indicate this upon arrival and a member of our team will discuss alternative arrangements with you.
The digital ID generated through the Platform is only shared with the WeWork security teams responsible for managing the locations you are visiting and your host.
All personal information captured within the Platform is only retained for a period of 30 days and no personal information is stored within the Platform beyond this time period.
During your visit – Information processed when using WeWork facilities and services
When visiting our locations it may be the case that you use certain facilities and services, such as guest WiFi, shared workspaces, community services and events etc.
As part of this we may process information about the device you use to access those services, including device identifiers, IP address, WIFI MAC address, Bluetooth address, geolocation information (such as through your mobile device’s GPS signal or WiFi signal), information about your device contacts (depending on your device settings and whether you install our app) and information about your online activity.
Where you use our guest WiFi services we collect your name, email address and phone number as well as your device and usage Information. Your social media account details will be collected if you choose to sign in using a social media account.
In addition, we utilize a technology known as Spatial and People Analytics Sensors (“SPA Sensors”) in offices, kitchens, conference rooms, and other spaces of some facilities. SPA Sensors passively collect information about when and how people use that particular space. We use this information in an anonymized and aggregated fashion to promote more efficient and comfortable use of our facilities. Examples of SPA Sensors include desk occupancy sensors, environmental sensors, WiFi network hubs, and optical camera-powered sensors.
CCTV: WeWork’s buildings and facilities are equipped with CCTV in the interest of protecting all our guests, members and employees. For further details please see the relevant section below.
Tracking pixels and cookie technologies: we use cookies and associated technologies on a range of services you may interact with. In particular, where we email you your QR access code, we use tracking pixels in those emails so that we know that you have opened and/or received it. For further information about our use of such technologies please see our Cookie Policy.

Visible signage is displayed at all locations where CCTV is in use. CCTV is deployed only in areas where permissible under applicable law.
CCTV footage is retained for a limited period of time. CCTV footage may be kept longer where WeWork determines that it is appropriate, for example in connection with the investigation of an incident, or at the request of competent authorities.
