Privacy Policy

Last Updated: October 7, 2025

Welcome to Gravity4Apps. This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your personal information when you use our SaaS applications, platforms, websites, mobile applications, and related services. As a SaaS provider offering business management solutions, we are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring transparency in our data practices.

Important Note: This policy applies to all Gravity4Apps SaaS applications and services. Depending on the specific application you use, the types of data collected may vary. Where our applications are used by businesses to manage their customers or end-users, those businesses act as data controllers, and we process data on their behalf as a data processor.

When we process end-user data, we do so only on behalf of and according to the instructions of our business customers. End-users should contact the business they interact with directly regarding their personal data.

4. Sharing Your Information

We respect your privacy and do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties. We may share information in the following circumstances:

  • Service Providers: With trusted third-party vendors who assist us in operating our platforms (cloud hosting providers like AWS or Google Cloud, payment processors like Stripe or PayPal, email service providers, analytics tools, customer support platforms)
  • Payment Processing: With payment gateways and financial institutions to process subscriptions, fees, and transactions
  • Integration Partners: With third-party services that you choose to integrate with our platforms (accounting software, marketing tools, communication platforms, etc.)
  • Legal Requirements: When required by law, court order, government regulation, or to protect our legal rights
  • Business Transfers: In connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets (users will be notified)
  • Within Your Organization: End-user data is accessible to authorized staff and administrators of the business account for operational purposes
  • With Your Consent: When you explicitly authorize us to share your information

5. Data Security

As a SaaS platform handling sensitive business and personal information, we take data security extremely seriously. We have implemented comprehensive security measures including:

  • Encryption: All data is encrypted in transit (SSL/TLS) and at rest using industry-standard encryption protocols
  • Access Controls: Role-based access controls and multi-factor authentication for administrative accounts
  • Secure Infrastructure: Our platform is hosted on secure, SOC 2 compliant cloud infrastructure
  • Payment Security: PCI-DSS compliant payment processing; we do not store full credit card numbers
  • Regular Audits: Periodic security assessments, vulnerability scanning, and penetration testing
  • Data Backups: Regular automated backups with disaster recovery procedures
  • Employee Training: All staff undergo security awareness and data protection training
  • Monitoring: 24/7 system monitoring for suspicious activity and security threats

However, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee absolute security. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials.

6. Data Retention

We retain your personal information based on the following criteria:

  • Active Accounts: Data is retained for the duration of your active subscription

  • Legal Requirements: Some data may be retained longer if required by law or for legitimate business purposes (e.g., dispute resolution, fraud prevention)
  • Backup Systems: Data in backup systems is retained according to our backup retention schedule (typically 30-90 days) and then permanently deleted

Business account holders are responsible for managing their own data retention policies for end-user information stored in our platforms.
