Cookie Policy

Grounded operates a digital personal growth and lifestyle platform, including the Grounded mobile application and the Grounded website.

For the purposes of this Cookie Policy, “Grounded”, “we”, “us” and “our” refer to the entity operating the Grounded Services.

Our website provides information about Grounded, including information about how Grounded works, our mission, the Grounded experience, available plans and the opportunity to join or learn more about the Grounded Services.

Cookies are small text files or similar technologies that may be stored on your computer, smartphone, tablet or other device when you visit a website.

Cookies can allow a website to recognise a device, remember preferences, maintain functionality, measure website performance or, where permitted, understand how visitors interact with a website.

Cookies may be:

• First-party cookies, which are placed directly by Grounded; or
• Third-party cookies, which are placed by a third party when you use our website.

Some technologies may perform functions similar to cookies, including certain pixels, tags, local storage technologies and other identifiers. Where applicable, this Cookie Policy also applies to those technologies.

Grounded may use cookies and similar technologies for the following purposes.

3.1 Strictly necessary and functional cookies. These cookies are used to operate, secure and maintain essential functions of the website. They may, for example, be used to:

• maintain basic website functionality;
• remember essential settings or preferences;
• maintain the security and integrity of the website;
• enable navigation between pages;
• remember choices made in relation to cookie preferences; and
• support technical functionality necessary for the website to operate.

Where a cookie or similar technology is strictly necessary to provide a service or functionality that you have requested, it may be used without your prior consent where permitted by applicable law.

3.2 Analytics cookies. Analytics cookies may be used to understand how visitors interact with the website. If Grounded introduces analytics technologies, they may be used to understand, for example:

• which pages are visited;
• how visitors navigate the website;
• how frequently pages are accessed;
• whether website functionality is working as intended; and
• how the overall website experience can be improved.

Analytics cookies or similar technologies that require consent will only be activated after you have provided the relevant consent through our cookie consent mechanism. At the time of the last update of this Cookie Policy, Grounded does not have a specific third-party analytics service actively implemented on the website. If this changes, this Cookie Policy and the relevant cookie information will be updated accordingly.

3.3 Marketing cookies. Marketing cookies and similar technologies may be used, where implemented and where you have provided the required consent, to understand interactions with marketing content, measure advertising campaigns or support personalised marketing.

Grounded does not currently use a specific third-party advertising or marketing tracking service on the website. If Grounded introduces such technologies in the future, they will only be activated where the required consent has been obtained, and this Cookie Policy will be updated to identify the relevant technologies and their purposes.

Grounded currently operates the website with a cookie consent mechanism that distinguishes between:

• Functional cookies
• Analytics cookies
• Marketing cookies

At present, the website is not configured with a specific third-party analytics or advertising service. The website may nevertheless use strictly necessary technical cookies or similar technologies required for the website and its cookie-consent functionality to operate.

Because the specific cookies and technologies used by a website can change as the website develops, Grounded may maintain or update its cookie inventory when new functionality or third-party services are introduced. Where consent is required, non-essential cookies will not be activated before the relevant consent has been obtained.

When you first visit the website, you may be presented with a cookie consent banner.

Depending on the cookies and technologies in use, you may be able to:

• accept the relevant categories of cookies;
• reject non-essential cookies; or
• manage your preferences by category.

Your consent is voluntary. Refusing non-essential cookies will not prevent you from accessing the parts of the website that can reasonably be provided without those cookies.

Consent should be given through a clear affirmative action. Simply continuing to browse the website does not, by itself, constitute consent where applicable law requires prior consent.

You can withdraw or change your consent for non-essential cookies at any time through the cookie preference mechanism provided on the website.

Where technically available, Grounded will provide a persistent or otherwise easily accessible mechanism through which you can reopen your cookie preferences.

Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before your consent was withdrawn. Where a cookie is strictly necessary for the operation of the website or for a service you have explicitly requested, it may continue to be used where permitted by applicable law.

Grounded may use third-party services to support the operation, security, functionality, analytics or marketing of the website.

Where a third party places cookies or similar technologies on your device, those technologies may be subject to the third party's own privacy and cookie policies. Grounded will only activate third-party technologies requiring consent after the relevant consent has been obtained.

If Grounded introduces third-party analytics, advertising or other tracking technologies, the relevant providers and purposes will be reflected in the cookie information made available to website visitors.

Some cookies or similar technologies may involve the processing of information that can be considered personal data. Where this occurs, such processing is also governed by our Privacy Policy.

Depending on the circumstances, information collected through cookies may include information such as:

• device or browser information;
• IP address;
• website interaction information;
• cookie identifiers;
• preferences; and
• information about how you interact with the website.

Grounded will process personal data in accordance with applicable data protection laws. Where consent is the applicable legal basis for a cookie or similar technology, Grounded will obtain that consent before activating the relevant technology.

Cookies may be either:

• session cookies, which are deleted when you close your browser; or
• persistent cookies, which remain on your device for a defined period or until you delete them.

The retention period depends on the purpose and type of cookie. Grounded will not retain cookies or information obtained through cookies for longer than reasonably necessary for the purpose for which they are used, subject to applicable legal or technical requirements.

The specific retention periods for individual cookies may be provided in the cookie preference centre or cookie inventory where applicable.

Grounded does not sell personal information and does not share personal information for cross-context behavioural advertising or targeted advertising, and no advertising or cross-site tracking technologies are used on this website. For that reason, no “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” link is currently required.

Global privacy signals sent by your browser, including Global Privacy Control (GPC), are respected as an opt-out of any future sale, sharing or targeted advertising. If we ever introduce advertising or analytics technologies subject to opt-out rights, we will publish an opt-out control here and in the cookie preference centre before activating them.

In addition to the controls provided by Grounded, most web browsers allow you to manage or delete cookies through their settings. You may be able to:

• block cookies;
• delete existing cookies;
• receive notifications when cookies are being set; or
• configure your browser to reject certain types of cookies.

Please note that disabling strictly necessary cookies may affect the functionality or availability of certain parts of the website.

Grounded may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. This may be necessary, for example, if:

• the website changes;
• new cookies or similar technologies are introduced;
• third-party services are added or removed;
• applicable laws or regulatory requirements change; or
• Grounded changes the way it uses cookies.

When we make changes, we will update the “Last updated” date at the top of this Cookie Policy. Where required by applicable law, Grounded will also obtain renewed consent for cookies or technologies where existing consent is no longer sufficient.

This Cookie Policy explains specifically how Grounded uses cookies and similar technologies. Our Privacy Policy contains additional information about:

• the personal data Grounded collects;
• the purposes for which personal data is processed;
• legal bases for processing;
• data retention;
• data sharing;
• data subject rights; and
• how to contact Grounded regarding privacy matters.

In the event that information collected through cookies constitutes personal data, the relevant provisions of our Privacy Policy also apply.

If you have questions about this Cookie Policy or about Grounded's use of cookies and similar technologies, you can contact us through the contact details provided in our Privacy Policy.

For privacy-related questions or requests, please use contact@grndd.app.

This Cookie Policy is governed by the applicable laws and regulations governing the Grounded Services, subject to any mandatory rights and protections that apply to consumers under applicable law.

Nothing in this Cookie Policy is intended to limit any mandatory rights that you may have under applicable consumer or data protection legislation.

If any provision of this Cookie Policy is found to be invalid, unlawful or unenforceable, in whole or in part, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect.

The invalid or unenforceable provision shall, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, be interpreted or replaced in a manner that most closely reflects the original purpose of that provision.

This Cookie Policy was last updated on 25 August 2026.
