Gravitas Factor has a strong legitimate interest in promoting its brand, products, initiatives, and values. In order to further such goals, we process personal data about our business contacts, including existing and our potential clients, third parties and intermediaries Gravitas Factor interacts with within the course of doing business. We may collect details about you, including name, contact details and other information such as your job title, employer, areas of business interest and other business details. We may process such data using software or platforms which allow us to manage our client relationships. We collect such data directly or indirectly from you, or from third parties, such as business partners, data brokers, social networks, marketing companies, and publicly available sources such as social media sites where lawful to do so. In such cases, we will also comply with any additional restrictions imposed by the region in which your data was collected as well as the source of the data. We may also collect data from our email and calendar systems concerning interactions between our associates or third parties.
We use your data in part for administering, managing and developing our business and services; such as identifying existing and potential client business needs, analyzing and evaluating the strength of our interactions with certain business contacts, performing analytics, including producing metrics such as relationship maps for our business leadership and limited profiling for the purposes of helping us to develop and offer appropriate products and services to existing and potential clients. Analytics may be performed by us using algorithms that help us analyze and rank interactions with you depending on interaction frequency and duration. We may also send you marketing communications and surveys to carry out market research or provide information to you about us and our services which we have reason to believe would be of interest to you in your professional capacity.
When reaching out to you, we may do so through different channels, such as email, phone calls, posts or any other means of communication, such as through social media sites such as LinkedIn. We will only send electronic marketing communications to business contacts in a business-to-business context, where we have your prior consent or where it is otherwise lawful to do so in the jurisdiction you are located in. You can opt-out from receiving such communications at any time using our website, gravitasfactor.com or affiliate websites where you had given your personal data, or by any other given method provided from time to time (for example: unsubscribe link included at the bottom of emails).
From time to time, we may use your name, quotes, pictures or videos to promote and amplify Gravitas Factors’ brand and activities. In any such case, you will receive appropriate additional information about the usage of your personal data.
We have put in place appropriate technical, organizational and security measures to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorized way, altered or disclosed. In addition, we limit access to your personal data to those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who have a business need to know. They will only process your personal data on our instructions, and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality.
We have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected data security breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a suspected breach where we are legally required to do so.
We will only retain your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements.
In some circumstances, we may anonymize your personal data so that it can no longer be associated with you, in which case we may use such information without further notice to you.
While email is convenient and has good business use, it can also be misused by criminals for scams and various other fraudulent purposes. "Phishing emails" are frequently used by criminals to entice the recipient to visit a fraudulent website where they try to convince the recipient to provide personal & confidential information. Some of these fraudulent websites may also be virus laden and can be used to download malware to your computer. Fraudulent websites often look identical to the legitimate website, so it's important to look very closely at the website address. Below we have listed a few tips to help protect your personal information on the Internet:
We reserve the right to update this privacy notice at any time, and we will provide you with a new privacy notice when we make any substantial updates. We may also notify you in other ways from time to time about the processing of your personal data.

All the employees, consultants, screening committee members, mentors, and officers shall always be kept updated on the security and privacy protection procedures or methods. (We take appropriate disciplinary measures to enforce employee privacy and confidential responsibilities. We have established training programs to educate our employees about the importance of customer privacy and to ensure compliance with our policy requirements.)
Notwithstanding the aforesaid, despite our efforts to maintain the privacy and confidentiality of the User Information, we may not be able to protect or prevent unauthorized access or use, software failure or fault, or other factors that may compromise the security of the User Information.
You agree and understand that the Internet is not a secure source; therefore, we cannot guarantee the protection of such User Information.
