Policy/Terms

Welcome to Project Gravitas. This website located at www.GravitasNewYork.com, our mobile and/or Internet applications, our blog, and any other website(s) owned and/or operated by Project Gravitas, LLC, and any of their associated web pages (collectively “the Website”, “we,” “us,” or “our”) is provided as a resource to our users (“you,” “your”) and contains general information about Project Gravitas and its products and services to users in the United States. Project Gravitas (“Project Gravitas,” “we” or “us”) respects your personal privacy and is committed to protecting you and your identity by adherence to federal and state privacy laws as well as industry guidelines. This privacy policy (“Privacy Policy”) describes how we handle the personal information that you provide to us on the Website. This Privacy Policy applies only to the Project Gravitas website, and not to any other third party sites that may be accessible from here.

After reading this Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into and is a part of this Website’s Terms of Use, you will know:

• what information Project Gravitas collects from you;
• how Project Gravitas uses your information;
• what choices you have about how Project Gravitas treats your information;
• how Project Gravitas protects your information;
• what about third-party links you access through the Website;
• what Project Gravitas does about children visiting the Website; and
• how you can contact Project Gravitas.

Please be sure to read this Privacy Policy before using this Website or submitting information to us. Our Privacy Policy may change from time to time, and your continued use of the Website is acceptance of such changes. Please check this area periodically for any updates to this Privacy Policy that might be made. You can tell whether this policy has changed by checking the revision date that appears at the bottom.

1. WHAT INFORMATION DOES PROJECT GRAVITAS COLLECT FROM YOU?

You can visit the Website to read about our products and our company without telling us who you are and without revealing any personally identifiable information. There are instances, however, in which Project Gravitas requests personally identifiable information in order to provide you a product or service, or to respond to a request for information. Described below are the ways in which Project Gravitas actively and passively collects information during visit to the Website. This information is collected and stored in a manner appropriate to the nature of the data by Project Gravitas, its affiliates, and its third-party service providers and is used to fulfill your requests, as further described below.

Active Information Collection

Like many other websites, we actively collect information from our visitors, both by asking specific questions on this Website and by permitting you to communicate directly with us (including, but not limited to, when you create a Project Gravitas account, make a purchase, communicate with us via social media, write a product review, create a wishlist, contact our customer service team, participate in events, contests or promotions, or post User Generated Content to this Website). In collecting this information, we seek to provide the best possible experience to our customers, by actively managing the services, features, and content of the Website for ease of use and navigation.

Some of the information that you submit may be personally identifiable (that is, information that can be uniquely identified with you, such as your name, address, phone number, fax number, email address, etc.). Also, if you place an order, you will be required to provide financial information.

If you register with this Website in order to gain access to certain Website features, during the registration process we may ask for your first and last name, email address, telephone number, and postal address, all of which are generally required in order to complete the registration. We also may ask you for other optional information, such as your experience with our products. Registered guests who provide this information can benefit from access to additional information about Project Gravitas products and other features and programs that Project Gravitas may offer from time to time.

Passive Information Collection

As you navigate through a website, certain information can be passively collected (that is, gathered without you actively providing the information) using various technologies and means, such as navigational data collection. Like most website operators, we track IP addresses, assign Internet tags, and use session, persistent and flash cookies, and other successor tracker technology.

We also use cookies to help identify you when you visit our Website, save your password so you don't have to re-enter it each time you visit a password protected area, keep track of your shopping cart, and deliver content specific to your interests. You should be aware that we may use these cookies for other purposes now and in the future. Our system also automatically gathers information about the areas you visit on this Website and collects operational information about the technology you use, such as the website that referred you to us and your browser, screen name, type of computer, operating systems, and Internet service providers.

We reserve the right to use electronic images known as web beacons, also referred to as single-pixel gifs, and any other successor technology, that permit us to count users who have visited certain Website pages and for other related statistics (e.g., recording the popularity of certain Website content and verifying system and server integrity). Web beacons are not used to access your personal information on the Website; they are solely used to compile aggregated statistics concerning the use of the Website. Web beacons collect only a limited set of information including a cookie number, the time and date of a page view, and a description of the page on which the web beacon resides.

We may passively collect information to generate statistics and measure Website activity in order to understand which areas of this Website are most popular, which areas may require improvement, and what technologies are being used by our visitors. This information helps us to update and improve this Website and enhance the usefulness of user visits. We also use this information for security purposes, to detect and to block security breaches and to provide you with a safe online environment.

2. HOW DOES PROJECT GRAVITAS USE YOUR INFORMATION?

Project Gravitas uses your personal information to enhance the operation of this Website, allow you to use all of its features, and provide you with the products and services that you request (i.e., fulfilling orders, contacting purchasers to inform them of order status, sending promotional information, enhancing our Website and the operation of our Website, serving advertisements, for statistical purposes, etc.). Project Gravitas may partner with other companies to provide specific services, such as using an outside shipping company to ship orders, a credit card processing company to bill users, and other such items related to your visit to this Website. Project Gravitas may also share information you provide to us when you elect to participate in a promotion or sweepstakes when we have joined with another company to offer that sweepstakes or promotion. As a result, when you access our services on this Website, we may share this information with such other third parties. While our current Privacy Policy does not authorize these other parties to use personally identifiable information except for the purposes of providing these services, Project Gravitas does not guarantee that this information will not be used in other manners by Project Gravitas or by these third-party providers.

Project Gravitas may send you information about its products and services and may contact you about new features or products in which it believes you may be interested. Project Gravitas also may use your contact information for marketing and other purposes. In addition, we may provide aggregate statistics about our customers, sales, online traffic patterns, and related information to reputable third parties, but these statistics will not include any personally identifying information. Project Gravitas also will disclose any information that it is required to disclose by law or by an appropriate government authority. In addition, if some or all of our assets are purchased by or transferred to a third party, Project Gravitas will share your information with that third party.

From time to time, Project Gravitas may conduct online surveys. We use contact data from our surveys to send guests information about our company, provide Website survey results when available, and for marketing and other purposes.

Although Project Gravitas does not currently rent, sell, or otherwise share your information with third parties for purposes unrelated to this Website, it may do so in the future. If you do not want your information to be shared, you should contact us at Hello@GravitasNewYork.com as described in Section 3.

3. WHAT CHOICES DO YOU HAVE ABOUT HOW PROJECT GRAVITAS USES YOUR INFORMATION?

We strive to provide you with choices regarding the personal information you provide to us. You may send us an email message at Hello@GravitasNewYork.com, to request access to, correct, or delete any personal information that you have provided to us. To protect your privacy, we will only respond to email messages sent from the email account you specified when you gave us your contact information. Should you elect to have your information deleted, we will also delete your guest account. All members may also log into the My Account section of the Website and review, update, edit, or delete their account information directly.

You may also opt out of having your email address used for promotional purposes by Project Gravitas. This opt out does not apply to information provided to Project Gravitas as a result of a product purchase, or other transactions. If you no longer wish to receive information or promotional materials from us by email you may opt out of receiving these communications. You may select the unsubscribe link from the bottom of the email or you may send us an email stating your request addressed to Hello@GravitasNewYork.com.

If you do not wish us to collect cookies, you may set your browser to refuse cookies, or to alert you when cookies are being sent. If you do so, please note that some parts of this Website may then be inaccessible or not function properly.

You should review this Privacy Policy carefully, because if you do not agree with our practices, your ultimate choice is not to use this Website. Remember, by using any part of this Website, you accept and agree to our Terms of Use, including our privacy practices. If we update this Privacy Policy, your continued use of this Website means that you accept and agree to the terms of the revised Privacy Policy.

4. HOW DOES PROJECT GRAVITAS PROTECT YOUR INFORMATION?

When you place an order, we offer the use of a secure server (through the use of Secure Socket Layer or SSL technology). The secure server encrypts all sensitive information you input, before it is sent to us. Furthermore, every reasonable effort is made to protect customer data from unauthorized access. We use commercially reasonable methods to maintain the integrity and security of our databases. When you enter secure sections of the Website, such as the My Account section, you will notice that the URL field at the top of the browser shifts to “https,” denoting that the Website is in secure mode. The safety and security of your information also depend on you. Never share your password with anyone else, notify us promptly if you believe your password security has been breached, and remember to log off of this Website before you leave your computer.

Any personal information, photos or other images that you voluntarily disclose on the Website in a manner that other users can view (including, but not limited to buyer comments, social media posts, and/or comments or information given in connection with contests and promotions) becomes publicly available. Project Gravitas is not responsible for any personal information users select to disclose in these forums.

5. WHAT ABOUT THIRD-PARTY WEBSITES AND SOCIAL MEDIA SITES?

This Website contains links to other websites operated by third parties, including social media sites, which may be of interest to you. We cannot control these third-party sites, which may collect personal information from you. When you follow a link and leave this Website, you do so at your own risk. We do not have control over the privacy policies applied by any other party to whom you may disclose information. We are not liable or responsible for third-party content or privacy policies. If you would like information on another party's privacy policy, you should contact that party directly, and we encourage you to do so.

6. WHAT DOES PROJECT GRAVITAS DO ABOUT CHILDREN VISITING THIS WEBSITE?

This Website is not intended for children under the age of 13. We will not knowingly collect information from Website visitors in this age group. We encourage parents to talk to their children about their use of the Internet and the information they disclose online. If a child has provided us with personally identifiable information, a parent or guardian of that child may contact us via email at Hello@GravitasNewYork.com, if they would like this information deleted from our records. We will use reasonable efforts to delete the child's information from our databases.
