Privacy Policy

When you apply to participate in Common Ground or contact us through this website, we may collect information you voluntarily provide, including:

• Name
• Email address
• Phone number
• City and state
• Age range
• Profession or occupation
• Website or social media information
• Information about your life experiences, accomplishments, perspectives, or personal story
• Responses submitted through the Common Ground application
• Any additional information you choose to provide

We may also automatically collect limited technical information when you visit the website, such as browser type, device type, IP address, pages visited, and general website usage information.

We may use the information you provide to:

• Review and evaluate applications for Common Ground
• Contact applicants regarding participation
• Communicate project dates, details, and next steps
• Respond to questions or inquiries
• Organize and administer the project
• Improve the website and application experience
• Maintain appropriate project and business records

Submitting an application does not automatically authorize Common Ground to publish your story, photograph, likeness, voice, or interview.

Individuals selected to participate will receive separate participation and media-release documentation describing how photography, video, audio, quotes, and other project materials may be used.

Some application questions invite applicants to discuss meaningful life experiences.

Please share only information you are comfortable providing for application review.

We do not require applicants to disclose private medical, financial, legal, or other highly sensitive information unless they voluntarily choose to do so.

Information submitted through the application is intended for project-selection and communication purposes and will not automatically be published simply because it was included in an application.

We do not sell or rent applicants’ personal information.

Information may be shared only as reasonably necessary with service providers that help us operate the website, forms, email communications, scheduling, or other project-related services.

We may also disclose information if required by law or when reasonably necessary to protect our legal rights or the safety of others.

If you are selected for Common Ground, additional information may be collected as part of scheduling, photography, filming, publication, or project administration.

The use of photographs, video, audio recordings, interviews, quotes, names, and other creative materials will be governed by a separate participant agreement and media release.

This website may use cookies or similar technologies to support normal website functionality and understand how visitors use the site.

Third-party hosting, analytics, or form-processing services may also collect limited technical information according to their own privacy policies.

Our optional first-party analytics start only after you choose to allow them. We use a random browser identifier with a lifetime of up to 90 days to count visits, returning browsers, Apply-button clicks, application starts and completed applications. Analytics records also expire after 90 days.

Analytics do not store names, email addresses, IP addresses, application answers, or full referring URLs. We retain only referrer domains and campaign codes. Invitation links use random identifiers; invitation totals track a link’s activity, not the identity of the person opening it. A forwarded link cannot reliably identify an individual.

You can change your choice using Analytics preferences in the website footer or below. Turning analytics off clears this browser’s analytics identifier and requests deletion of its analytics records without deleting your application. Records also expire automatically after 90 days. We respect supported Global Privacy Control and Do Not Track signals. Studio activity is excluded from analytics.

We may retain application and contact information for as long as reasonably necessary to administer the project, communicate with applicants, maintain business records, or comply with legal obligations.

You may contact us to request deletion of personal information you previously submitted, subject to reasonable legal, administrative, or recordkeeping requirements.

We take reasonable steps to protect personal information submitted through the website.

However, no website, internet transmission, or electronic storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Common Ground is intended for adults and is not directed to children under 13.

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 through this website.

You may contact us to:

• Ask what personal information you have submitted
• Request corrections
• Request deletion of your application information
• Withdraw an application
• Ask questions about this Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time.

Any updates will be posted on this page with a revised effective date.
