Information Sharing and Disclosure
Gravity may be required to disclose personally identifiable information under special circumstances, such as to comply with subpoenas or when your actions violate the Gravity Terms of Use. Gravity may disclose personally identifiable information to parties in compliance with Gravity's Copyright and Intellectual Property Policy, as Gravity in Gravity's sole discretion believes necessary or appropriate in connection with an investigation of fraud, intellectual property infringement, piracy, or other unlawful activity. In such events, Gravity may disclose name, street address, city, state, zip code, country, phone number, email address and company name. Gravity may share aggregated demographic information with business partners.
Gravity is affiliated with a variety of businesses and works closely with them. These businesses may operate stores on the Gravity website or sell items to you from the Gravity website. Gravity may also provide services or sell products jointly with affiliated businesses. Due to the nature of Gravity's business model, when an affiliated business is associated with your transaction, you will share customer information that is related to such transaction with that affiliated business.
Gravity employs other companies and people to perform tasks on our behalf and needs to share your information with them to provide products and services to you. Examples could include but are not limited to fulfilling orders, handling billing disputes, analyzing data, providing marketing assistance and providing customer service.
Gravity will not rent, sell, or share personal information about you with nonaffiliated parties except as specified in this Privacy Policy to provide products or services you have requested or when Gravity has your permission. It may be necessary to share information in order to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding illegal activities, suspected fraud, situations involving potential threats to the physical safety of any person, violations of Gravity's Terms of Use, as specified in this Privacy Policy or as otherwise required by law. In some cases, Gravity may choose to buy or sell assets. In these types of transactions, customer information is typically one of the business assets that is transferred. Gravity will transfer information about you if Gravity is acquired by or merged with another company. In this event, Gravity will notify you by email or by putting a prominent notice on the Gravity web site before information about you is transferred and becomes subject to a different privacy policy.
As part of the buying and selling process, you may obtain another Gravity user's email address, shipping address and/or other information. Pursuant to Gravity's Terms of Use, you have a limited license to use this information. This information should be used for only Gravity-related communications or for Gravity-facilitated transactions. Gravity has not granted you a license to use the information for unsolicited commercial messages. Without limiting the foregoing, without express consent from the user, you are not licensed to add any Gravity user to your email or physical mail list.
Third Parties
Except as otherwise expressly included in this Privacy Policy, this document addresses only the use and disclosure of information Gravity collects from you. If you disclose your information to others, whether they are buyers or sellers on Gravity or throughout the internet, different rules may apply to their use or disclosure of the information you disclose to them. Gravity does not control the privacy policies of third parties, and you are subject to the privacy policies of those third parties where applicable. Gravity is not responsible for the privacy or security practices of other websites on the Internet, even those linked to or from the Gravity site.

Security
The security of your personal information is important to us. Your Gravity account information is protected by a password for your privacy and security. You need to work to protect against unauthorized access to your password and to your computer by signing off once you have finished using a shared computer. When you enter sensitive information (such as credit card number) for registration Gravity encrypts that information using secure socket layer technology (SSL). Gravity follows generally accepted industry standards to protect the personal information submitted to us, both during transmission and once Gravity receives it. No method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure. Therefore, while Gravity strives to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, Gravity cannot guarantee its absolute security. If you have any questions about security on Gravity's Web site, you can email Gravity at help@gravitycoffee.com.
