Data Security

We have implemented measures designed to secure your personal information from accidental loss and from unauthorized access, use, alteration, and disclosure. All information you provide to us is stored on our secure servers behind firewalls. Any payment transactions will be encrypted using SSL technology.

The safety and security of your information also depends on you. Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) a password for access to certain parts of our App and Website, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to share your password with anyone. We urge you to be careful about giving out information in public areas of the App and Website like message boards. The information you share in public areas may be viewed by any user of the App and Website.

Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet and mobile platforms is not completely secure. Although we do our best to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee the security of your personal information transmitted through our App and Website. Any transmission of personal information is at your own risk. We are not responsible for circumvention of any privacy settings or security measures we provide.

Children's Privacy Policy

Gravystack, Inc.'s commitment to raising financially educated children runs deep. This Children's Privacy Policy demonstrates our unwavering commitment to make sure that your child's privacy is protected and that our privacy practices comply with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act.

For any child under the age of 18, their parent or guardian must register the child with us. We verify the status of the parent using photo identification, a social security number, and/or other verification methods designed to prevent anyone under the age of 18 from setting up an account on their own. All consent to the collection or use of a child's personal information must come from the parent.
All child accounts must be established as a sub-account of the parent or guardian's account. Once the parent has set up the account and established information use and collection parameters, the child may begin using the App or Website.

Parents and guardians can access the personal information of their child under 18 at any time through either the App or the Website. Parents and guardians, as primary account holders, have access to all transaction details in any of their sub-accounts. Sub-account holders cannot see the personal information or transaction details of another sub-account without being specifically authorized by the sub-account holder or the primary account holder.

The primary account holder may provide access to their child's personal information to third parties in order to use our services for which we use partners, such as banking and debit card services, fulfillment providers; insurance providers, cloud hosting providers, and other service providers.

You should also be aware that your mobile carrier and/or internet service provider may have access to any information transmitted through the App or Website.
Parents and guardians may change, update or delete their child's personal information at any time. You may call 1 (213) 406-7621 or you may visit the account settings page to change the privacy options. If you ask us to delete any personal information we will delete as much as we are allowed to by law. We will only retain any personal information as is necessary to close the account, remove the personal information from the databases of our service providers, resolve payment or other issues with the account, conduct a fraud investigation, enforce our rights under any agreement such as the Terms of Use of the App or Website, or take other actions permitted by law. There may be regulatory recordkeeping obligations that keep us from deleting all information related to a sub-account or primary account.

Changes to Our Privacy Policy

We may update our privacy policy from time to time. If we make material changes to how we treat our users' personal information, we will post the new privacy policy on this page with a notice that the privacy policy has been updated and notify you by a notice on the Website and an in-App alert the first time you use the App after we make the change.
The date the privacy policy was last revised is identified at the top of the page. You are responsible for ensuring we have an up-to-date active and deliverable email address and/or phone number for you and for periodically visiting this privacy policy to check for any changes.

We ask you not to share your password with anyone. We urge you to be careful about giving out information in public areas of the App and Website like message boards. The information you share in public areas may be viewed by any user of the App and Website.

Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet and mobile platforms is not completely secure.

Children's Privacy Policy

Gravystack, Inc.'s commitment to raising financially educated children runs deep. This Children's Privacy Policy demonstrates our unwavering commitment to make sure that your child's privacy is protected and that our privacy practices comply with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act.

For any child under the age of 18, their parent or guardian must register the child with us. We verify the status of the parent using photo identification, a social security number, and/or other verification methods designed to prevent anyone under the age of 18 from setting up an account on their own. All consent to the collection or use of a child's personal information must come from the parent.
All child accounts must be established as a sub-account of the parent or guardian's account. Once the parent has set up the account and established information use and collection parameters, the child may begin using the App or Website.

Parents and guardians can access the personal information of their child under 18 at any time through either the App or the Website. Parents and guardians, as primary account holders, have access to all transaction details in any of their sub-accounts. Sub-account holders cannot see the personal information or transaction details of another sub-account without being specifically authorized by the sub-account holder or the primary account holder.

The primary account holder may provide access to their child's personal information to third parties in order to use our services for which we use partners, such as banking and debit card services, fulfillment providers; insurance providers, cloud hosting providers, and other service providers.

You should also be aware that your mobile carrier and/or internet service provider may have access to any information transmitted through the App or Website.
Parents and guardians may change, update or delete their child's personal information at any time. You may call 1 (213) 406-7621 or you may visit the account settings page to change the privacy options. If you ask us to delete any personal information we will delete as much as we are allowed to by law. We will only retain any personal information as is necessary to close the account, remove the personal information from the databases of our service providers, resolve payment or other issues with the account, conduct a fraud investigation, enforce our rights under any agreement such as the Terms of Use of the App or Website, or take other actions permitted by law. There may be regulatory recordkeeping obligations that keep us from deleting all information related to a sub-account or primary account.

Changes to Our Privacy Policy

We may update our privacy policy from time to time. If we make material changes to how we treat our users' personal information, we will post the new privacy policy on this page with a notice that the privacy policy has been updated and notify you by a notice on the Website and an in-App alert the first time you use the App after we make the change.
The date the privacy policy was last revised is identified at the top of the page. You are responsible for ensuring we have an up-to-date active and deliverable email address and/or phone number for you and for periodically visiting this privacy policy to check for any changes.

Your Rights and Choices

The CCPA provides consumers (California residents) with specific rights regarding their personal information. This section describes your CCPA rights and explains how to exercise those rights.

Right to Know and Data Portability

You have the right to request that we disclose certain information to you about our collection and use of your personal information over the past 12 months (the “right to know”). Once we receive your request and confirm your identity (see Exercising Your Rights to Know or Delete), we will disclose to you:

  • The categories of personal information we collected about you.
  • The categories of sources for the personal information we collected about you.
  • Our business or commercial purpose for collecting or selling that personal information.
  • The categories of third parties with whom we share that personal information.
  • If we sold or disclosed your personal information for a business purpose, two separate lists disclosing:
  • sales, identifying the personal information categories that each category of recipient purchased; and
  • disclosures for a business purpose, identifying the personal information categories that each category of recipient obtained.
  • The specific pieces of personal information we collected about you (also called a data portability request).

We do not provide a right to know or data portability disclosure for B2B personal information.

Right to Delete

You have the right to request that we delete any of your personal information that we collected from you and retained, subject to certain exceptions (the “right to delete”). Once we receive your request and confirm your identity (see Exercising Your Rights to Know or Delete), we will review your request to see if an exception allowing us to retain the information applies. We may deny your deletion request if retaining the information is necessary for us or our service provider(s) to:

  1. Complete the transaction for which we collected the personal information, provide a good or service that you requested, take actions reasonably anticipated within the context of our ongoing business relationship with you, fulfill the terms of a written warranty or product recall conducted in accordance with federal law, or otherwise perform our contract with you.
  2. Detect security incidents, protect against malicious, deceptive, fraudulent, or illegal activity, or prosecute those responsible for such activities.
  3. Debug products to identify and repair errors that impair existing intended functionality.
  4. Exercise free speech, ensure the right of another consumer to exercise their free speech rights, or exercise another right provided for by law.
  5. Comply with the California Electronic Communications Privacy Act (Cal. Penal Code § 1546 et. seq.).
  6. Engage in public or peer-reviewed scientific, historical, or statistical research in the public interest that adheres to all other applicable ethics and privacy laws, when the information’s deletion may likely render impossible or seriously impair the research’s achievement, if you previously provided informed consent.
  7. Enable solely internal uses that are reasonably aligned with consumer expectations based on your relationship with us.
  8. Comply with a legal obligation.
  9. Make other internal and lawful uses of that information that are compatible with the context in which you provided it.

We will delete or deidentify personal information not subject to one of these exceptions from our records and will direct our service providers to take similar action.

We do not provide these deletion rights for B2B personal information.

Exercising Your Rights to Know or Delete

To exercise your rights to know or delete described above, please submit a request by either:

  • Calling us at: (213) 406-7621
  • Emailing us at [email protected].
  • Visiting www.gravystack.com
  • Changing your account settings on the App.

Only you, or someone legally authorized to act on your behalf, may make a request to know or delete related to your personal information.

You may also make a request to know or delete on behalf of your child by any of the above methods.

You may only submit a request to know twice within a 12-month period. Your request to know or delete must:

  • Provide sufficient information that allows us to reasonably verify you are the person about whom we collected personal information or an authorized representative, which may include providing photo ID or a social security number.
  • Describe your request with sufficient detail that allows us to properly understand, evaluate, and respond to it.

We cannot respond to your request or provide you with personal information if we cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request and confirm the personal information relates to you.

You do not need to create an account with us to submit a request to know or delete. However, we do consider requests made through your password protected account sufficiently verified when the request relates to personal information associated with that specific account.

We will only use personal information provided in the request to verify the requestor’s identity or authority to make it.

For instructions on exercising your sale opt-out or opt-in rights, see Personal Information Sales Opt-Out and Opt-In Rights.

Response Timing and Format

We will confirm receipt of your request within ten (10) business days. If you do not receive confirmation within the 10-day timeframe, please contact [email protected].

We endeavor to substantively respond to a verifiable consumer request within forty-five (45) days of its receipt. If we require more time (up to another 45 days), we will inform you of the reason and extension period in writing.

If you have an account with us, we will deliver our written response to that account. If you do not have an account with us, we will deliver our written response by mail or electronically, at your option.

Any disclosures we provide will only cover the 12-month period preceding our receipt of your request. The response we provide will also explain the reasons we cannot comply with a request, if applicable. For data portability requests, we will select a format to provide your personal information that is readily useable and should allow you to transmit the information from one entity to another entity without hindrance, specifically .xlsx file.

We do not charge a fee to process or respond to your verifiable consumer request unless it is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded. If we determine that the request warrants a fee, we will tell you why we made that decision and provide you with a cost estimate before completing your request.

Personal Information Sales Opt-Out and Opt-In Rights

If you are age 16 or older, you have the right to direct us to not sell your personal information at any time (the “right to opt-out”). We do not sell the personal information of consumers we actually know are less than 16 years old, unless we receive affirmative authorization (the “right to opt-in”) from either the consumer who is between 13 and 15 years old, or the parent or guardian of a consumer less than 13 years old. Consumers who opt-in to personal information sales may opt-out of future sales at any time.

To exercise the right to opt-out, you (or your authorized representative) may submit a request to us via email at [email protected]

Once you make an opt-out request, we will wait at least twelve (12) months before asking you to reauthorize personal information sales. However, you may change your mind and opt back in to personal information sales at any time by emailing us at [email protected]

You do not need to create an account with us to exercise your opt-out rights. We will only use personal information provided in an opt-out request to review and comply with the request.

Non-Discrimination

We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your CCPA rights. Unless permitted by the CCPA, we will not:

  • Deny you goods or services.
  • Charge you different prices or rates for goods or services, including through granting discounts or other benefits, or imposing penalties.
  • Provide you a different level or quality of goods or services.
  • Suggest that you may receive a different price or rate for goods or services or a different level or quality of goods or services.

However, we may offer you certain financial incentives permitted by the CCPA that can result in different prices, rates, or quality levels. Any CCPA-permitted financial incentive we offer will reasonably relate to your personal information’s value and contain written terms that describe the program’s material aspects. Participation in a financial incentive program requires your prior opt-in consent, which you may revoke at any time.

Changes to Our Privacy Policy

We reserve the right to amend this privacy policy at our discretion and at any time. When we make changes to this privacy policy, we will post the updated notice on the Website and App and update the notice’s effective date. Your continued use of our Website or App following the posting of changes constitutes your acceptance of such changes.

6.4. We use machine learning and facial recognition to verify the legitimacy of your identification documents, verify the factualness and credibility of the information you provide to us, and avoid fraud, by, among other actions, comparing biometric data with data previously or separately obtained. Based on the submitted identification document, Synapse programmatically creates a feature vector of the face displayed in such document and stores it in encrypted format in Synapse’s database. The vector cannot be used to reconstruct the original image. When a new user creates an account, Synapse programmatically compares that user’s vector against others in its database to help detect potential cases of identity theft. As with all Data, Synapse does not sell or rent the image, likeness, or vector to anyone, including marketers or other third parties, and does not use your Data for commercial purposes other than identity verification, financial loss mitigation, and regulatory compliance.
