How We Share Your Personal Information 

We may share the information we collect as described below. When we share information, either within our company or with others, we take steps to require any recipients to uphold similar protections for information as that provided by Gravity. 

 

Service Providers/Vendors/Third Parties: we work with others to manage or support some of our business operations and services. These entities may be located outside of your country of residence or the country in which you are located. 

 

For Legal Purposes: we may disclose relevant information as may be necessary or required for legal, compliance, or regulatory purposes. This includes, for example, disclosures that are required to: (i) respond to duly authorized information requests of police and governmental authorities; (ii) comply with any law, regulation, subpoena, or court order; (iii) investigate and help prevent security threats, fraud, or other malicious activity; (iv) enforce/protect the rights and properties of Gravity; (v) protect the rights or personal safety of Gravity, our employees, and third parties; or protect the security of our websites, systems, information, premises, or property. 

 

In the event of a business transaction, such as if we sell or transfer all or a portion of our business or assets (e.g., further to a merger, reorganization, liquidation, or any other business transaction, including negotiations of such transactions), we reserve the right to disclose any information we obtain through the site. 

 

Otherwise with Your Consent: we may also share information about you with third parties if we ask you, and you provide, consent to such sharing. 

Keeping Your Information Secure 

We endeavor to incorporate commercially reasonable measures to help protect and secure your personal information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. However, no data transmission over the Internet or electronic storage of information can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. Consequently, Gravity cannot and does not ensure or warrant the security of your information, and you understand that any information that you provide to Gravity through our application or websites is transmitted at your own risk. 

How can you help protect your information? 

If you are using a Gravity website or application for which you registered and chose a password, you should not divulge your password to anyone. We will never ask you for your password in an unsolicited phone call or in an unsolicited email. Also remember to sign out of the Gravity website and close your browser window when you have finished your work.

 

Please note that unencrypted email is not a secure method of transmission, as information in such emails may be accessed and viewed by others while in transit to us. For this reason, we prefer that you not communicate confidential or sensitive information to us via regular unencrypted email. We will, however, honor patient request for communications through unencrypted email.

Linked Websites 

Our websites may contain links to other websites that we do not own or operate. If you access those links, you will leave our websites. Gravity does not control those third-party websites or their privacy practices, which may differ from ours. We do not endorse or make any representations about third-party sites, including about the content or security of those sites. The information you choose to provide to or that is collected by these third parties is not covered by this Privacy Notice. We therefore recommend that you review the privacy notice of any third-party websites.
