This privacy policy applies to the Site and all products and services offered by Gravity Protection Ltd.

If you enter additional information, such as address and telephone number, this will also be stored in your account. All customers who have created an account  can access the data we hold about them by logging into their account, or by contacting us.

Right to be Forgotten

All customer accounts can be deleted at any point upon request.  If you would like us to do so, please email us via our contact form here.  If you place an order prior to the deletion, your details will still remain on that order within our order fulfillment system.

Users may, however, visit our Site anonymously.

We will collect personal identification information from Users only if they voluntarily submit such information to us. Users can always refuse to supply personally identification information, except that it may prevent them from engaging in certain Site related activities.

Non-personal identification information

We may collect non-personal identification information about Users whenever they interact with our Site. Non-personal identification information may include the browser name, the type of computer and technical information about Users means of connection to our Site, such as the operating system and the Internet service providers utilized and other similar information.

Web browser cookies

Our Site uses "cookies" to enhance User experience. User's web browser places cookies on their hard drive for record-keeping purposes and sometimes to track information about them. User may choose to set their web browser to refuse cookies, or to alert them when cookies are being sent. If they do so, note that some parts of the Site may not function properly.

The two cookies that are used within our software management system are as follows:

PHPSESSID - Contains a PHP "session ID", expires when the browser is closed

The "PHPSESSID" cookie is required so that the site can recognise the same user clicking from page to page. Without it, every page would be treated as the first visit to the site, and anything added to the shopping basket would be instantly forgotten. Online shopping would, therefore, be impossible.

Session - Contains a PHP "session ID", can also contain an email address and encrypted password, expires after one year

The "session" cookie is intended for the user's convenience, our website softward creates this with a copy of the initial session ID so that they can be classed as "returning" and the contents of their shopping basket will still be available. If the user signs in with an email address and password, these login details are are also saved so that they can remain logged in when returning (the password is encrypted). If the user signs out, their login details are removed from the cookie.

We may also use cookies  created by 3rd party scripts, such as Google Analytics, and any information about the cookies they use can be obtained through them.

Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics and Adsense Cookies to collect from site users information, including some demographic and interest information. These data may be used for marketing and re-marketing purposes using services provided by Google Inc. These services may include Adwords, Adsense and doubleclick branded services, information on how Google uses personal data can be found here. Personal data will be used for personalisation of ads and cookies may be used for personalised and non-personalised advertising. Google users can control the ads they see on Google services, including Customer Match ads, in their Google Ads Settings.

  • To improve customer service

  • To improve our Site
    We continually strive to improve our website offerings based on the information and feedback we receive from you.

  • To process transactions
    We may use the information Users provide about themselves when placing an order only to provide service to that order. We do not share this information with outside parties except to the extent necessary to provide the service.

  • To administer a content, promotion, survey or other Site feature
    To send Users information they agreed to receive about topics we think will be of interest to them.

  • To send periodic emails
    The email address Users provide for order processing will only be used to send them information and updates pertaining to their order. It may also be used to respond to their inquiries, and/or other requests or questions. If User decides to opt-in to our mailing list, they will receive emails that may include company news, updates, related product or service information, etc. If at any time the User would like to unsubscribe from receiving future emails, we include detailed unsubscribe instructions at the bottom of each email or User may contact us via our Site.

How we protect your information

We adopt appropriate data collection, storage and processing practices and security measures to protect against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure or destruction of your personal information, username, password, transaction information and data stored on our Site.

Sensitive and private data exchange between the Site and its Users happens over a SSL secured communication channel and is encrypted and protected with digital signatures. Our Site is also in compliance with PCI vulnerability standards in order to create as secure of an environment as possible for Users.

Sharing your personal information

We do not sell, trade, or rent Users personal identification information to others.  We may share generic aggregated demographic information not linked to any personal identification information regarding visitors and users with our business partners, trusted affiliates and advertisers for the purposes outlined above. We may use third party service providers to help us operate our business and the Site or administer activities on our behalf, such as sending out newsletters or surveys. We may share your personal information (e.g. email addresses so that we can contact you if you sign up to our email list) with these third parties for those limited purposes provided that you have given us your permission. We share customer data with third parties, such as Google, to perform services (e.g. advertising) on our behalf; by clicking "OK" on our Cookie and Privacy popup you are agreeing to this.

Third party websites

Users may find content on our Site that link to the sites and services of our partners, suppliers, advertisers, sponsors, licensors and other third parties. We do not control the content or links that appear on these sites and are not responsible for the practices employed by websites linked to or from our Site. In addition, these sites or services, including their content and links, may be constantly changing. These sites and services may have their own privacy policies and customer service policies. Browsing and interaction on any other website, including websites which have a link to our Site, is subject to that website's own terms and policies.

Social Media Plugins on the Site

The social media share buttons, which can be found on some Site pages, and the Facebook share for discount button, only transmit data once they have been clicked. Therefore, the button only becomes active once a customer has clicked on it and at this point they will be using the social media's website. The only data the social media's servers receive from this Site is referral information from the page, such a product title and image. No personal data is transmitted.

The Facebook login feature works in a similar way, and no personal information is transmitted to Facebook. However, once a customer has clicked on the button, any data that is gathered from the Facebook account, such as name and Facebook ID, will be stored within their User Account. This can be deleted, if requested.

Changes to this privacy policy

Gravity Protection Ltd has the discretion to update this privacy policy at any time. When we do, revise the updated date at the bottom of this page. We encourage Users to frequently check this page for any changes to stay informed about how we are helping to protect the personal information we collect. You acknowledge and agree that it is your responsibility to review this privacy policy periodically and become aware of modifications.

Your acceptance of these terms

By using this Site, you signify your acceptance of this policy and terms of service. If you do not agree to this policy, please do not use our Site. Your continued use of the Site following the posting of changes to this policy will be deemed your acceptance of those changes.
