WeWork spaces are surveillance environments. Every login to the WiFi, every badge swipe, and every camera captures data about how you work. This data builds detailed profiles used for occupancy optimization, but also informs enterprise sales pitches, investor reports, and marketing targeting. Your work patterns are a product.

WeWork monitors network traffic on their WiFi. This can reveal the websites you visit, services you use, and clients you communicate with. Metadata about your business operations is captured and analyzed.
Cameras throughout WeWork spaces monitor common areas, entrances, and corridors. This footage is retained and can be analyzed for occupancy patterns, behavior analysis, and security purposes.
Every badge swipe is logged—when you arrive, when you leave, which rooms you access. This data builds detailed profiles of your work schedule and space utilization patterns.
WeWork uses member data to target enterprise sales. Your business profile, team size, and growth patterns may be used to pitch services to larger companies or shared with partners.
