GRAVITAS PRIVACY POLICY
This Privacy Policy describes what information Gravitas Ventures collect about you and why, how we use and share that information, and the choices we offer.
WHAT INFORMATION WE COLLECT.
There are many places at our website where you can share your personal information with us, and where you can communicate with others.
We have features where you can submit information to us (such as when contacting us with a question or feedback). We may retain your emails and other information you submit to us for our internal purposes, and to help us to serve you better.
You may be given the opportunity to register with us, and sometimes registration is required before certain site features can be used. Our registration forms may request your contact information (such as your name, email address, mailing address, etc.), demographic information (such as your country, gender, etc.), and profile data (such as your music preferences). You may be assigned a site username and/or password. For our internal purposes, we use this information to communicate with you and provide the services you have requested, and to provide a more personalized experience. We use aggregate demographic and profile information about our audience in order to improve our service, for research purposes, marketing/promotional purposes and/or for industry reporting purposes, among others. By visiting our website, you affirmatively consent to our collection and use of your data.
DATA COLLECTION FROM CHILDREN.
We strive to comply with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). We do not knowingly collect personal information from U.S. children under 13 without appropriate parental notice and consent.

AUTOMATIC DATA COLLECTION.
Our website has features that automatically collect information from users to assist us in creating a website that honors our users’ preferences and serves their interests and needs.
Our website uses cookies, which are small data files containing information about the user that are stored on the user’s hard drive. Some cookies are used to make login to our website easier (such as by remembering usernames and passwords). Cookies can also enable us to track users’ movements and target their interests to enhance their experience at our website. Most common web browsers today, such as Firefox and Internet Explorer, allow you to modify your settings to block cookies entirely, alert you every time they are being sent, or allow their use by only those websites you choose. You can also delete cookies that are currently stored on your computer’s hard drive. If you choose to disable cookies, certain features on our website may not be available or work properly. Through the use of web logs or log files, we may also gather information such as the date, time, browser type, navigation history, and IP address of all visitors to our website(s). We use this information for our internal security audit log, trend analysis, and system administration, and to gather broad demographic information about our user base. We may associate this information with your personal information. By visiting our website, you affirmatively consent to our collection, use, and distribution of your data.
HOW THE INFORMATION IS USED.
In general, the information that you submit or share with us and that we collect is used in the following ways:
- for the purposes for which you provided such information;
- to enable your access to any services or information Gravitas provides;
- to provide, maintain, protect, develop and improve the services or information Gravitas provides, including through the use of statistical analysis;
- to customize the content and advertisements you receive from us and our trusted partners;
- to communicate with you, including via email, text messages, social media, mail and phone; and
- to offer you additional information, opportunities, promotions and functionality from us or on our behalf, or from our partners or our advertisers.
We may use aggregated and/or de-identified data or other data that is not personally identifiable for any purpose, including without limitation in statistical analysis to help us analyze patterns in the use of the services or information Gravitas provides.
By accessing and using the services or information Gravitas provides, you consent to our use of your information about you in the manner described in this Policy. If you do not agree or do not consent to the use of your information in these ways, you should not use the services or information Gravitas provides.
WITH WHOM YOUR INFORMATION IS SHARED.
We do not share your personally identifiable information with other companies, apart from those acting as our agents in providing our service to you, and which agree to use it only for that purpose and to keep the information secure and confidential. We will also disclose information we maintain when required to do so by law, for example, in response to a court order or a subpoena or other legal obligation, in response to a law enforcement agency’s request, or in special cases when we have reason to believe that disclosing this information is necessary to identify, contact or bring legal action against someone who may be causing injury to or interference with (either intentionally or unintentionally) our rights or property. You should also be aware that courts of equity, such as U.S. Bankruptcy Courts, may have the authority under certain circumstances to permit your information to be shared or transferred to third parties without your permission.
We may share (provide and receive) aggregate information, which is not personally identifiable, with others. This information may include demographic data such as the gender and/or geographic location of groups of users, but it will not include personal information (such as your name or email address). We use aggregate demographic information about our audience in order to improve our service, for research purposes, marketing/promotional purposes and/or for industry reporting purposes, among others.
CHOICE. By accepting this privacy policy, you expressly agree to the privacy practices described herein. Our website may also provide you with additional specific opportunities to select communications you wish to receive. You may change your privacy preferences, e.g. choose to cease receiving certain communications, by informing us of your new preferences. We will be able to honor your new preferences most quickly if you inform us of them by following the appropriate instructions in any communication you receive from us.
ACCESS. If a user’s personally identifiable information changes (such as zip code), we endeavor to provide a way to correct or update that user’s personal data. Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions regarding making changes to your data.
LINKS. We may provide links to non-Gravitas Ventures websites. We are not responsible for those other websites, their privacy policies or how they treat information about their users, and we advise you to check their privacy policies.
PRIVACY POLICY CHANGES. We reserve the right to modify, alter or otherwise update this Privacy Policy at any time, so we encourage you to review this policy from time to time. Changes to this privacy policy are effective at the time they are posted and your continued use of our website after posting will constitute acceptance of, and agreement to be bound by, those changes.
