This Supplemental Privacy Notice for Texas Residents (“Texas Notice”) supplements the information contained in WeWork’s Global Privacy Policy and applies solely to consumers who reside in Texas. This Texas Notice is intended to provide you with additional information with regard to our handling of your personal data and certain consumer rights.
When we use the terms “consumer” and “personal data” in this Texas Notice, we are using those terms as the Texas Data Privacy and Security Act (“TDPSA”) defines them, which the TDPSA generally defines a “consumer” as an individual who is a resident of Texas acting only in an individual or household context, but does not include an individual acting in a commercial or employment context and “personal data” as any information, including sensitive data that is linked or reasonably linkable to an identified or identifiable individual, but does not include deidentified data or publicly available information. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Texas Notice shall have the meaning ascribed thereto in WeWork’s Global Privacy Policy.
Please note, this Texas Notice does not apply to personal data that we process as a processor on behalf of our customers in connection with the WeWork Workplace Platform.
2.1 Categories of Personal Data, Purpose for Processing, Categories of Personal Data Shared with Third Parties and Categories of Third Parties with Whom We Share Personal Data
In our Global Privacy Policy,
Section 3: “Personal Data We Collect” describes the categories of personal data we process;
Section 5: “Purposes for Which We Process Your Personal Data and the Legal Bases on Which We Rely” describes the purposes for processing personal data; and
Section 6: “How We Share Your Personal Data” describes the categories of third parties with whom we share personal data.
Some or all of the categories of personal data we process may be shared with third parties. The categories of personal data that we share with third parties depends upon the purposes for which we process personal data.

In addition, we may allow certain Advertising Partners to collect personal data from our websites and services using cookies, web beacons, mobile advertising identifiers and other technologies.
