When you register with us at a Cascaad Site, we collect your name, email address, user name, location, IP address, as well as any other personal or preference information that you choose to provide. If you submit your credentials (e.g., username and password) for a third-party website (e.g., Facebook or Twitter) during your registration for the Cascaad Service, Cascaad will receive such information, as well as any other information that is made available by such third-party website. We may occasionally use your name and email address to send you notifications regarding new services offered by Cascaad that we think you may find valuable. We may send you service-related announcements from time to time through the general operation of the Service. For instance, if a user invites you to a conversation or sends you a new message, you may receive an email alerting you to that fact. Generally, you may opt out of such emails from the Notifications page on cascaad.com, though we reserve the right to send you important notices about your account even if you opt out of all voluntary email notifications.

Providing additional profile information beyond what is required at registration is entirely optional, but enables you to be discovered and understood by other users in the Cascaad universe. Profile Information you can add includes but is not limited to your telephone number, your address, a personal web site. We present this information back to you when you access the Service and to other users of Cascaad. You can adjust what information is presented back to you and other Cascaad users by adding and removing content from your profile or by adjusting the settings in your Cascaad profile.
Invite a Friend. If you choose to use our invitation service to invite a friend to a conversation or to tell a friend about Cascaad, we will ask you for information needed to send the invitation, such as your friend's email address. We will use such information to send your friend(s) an email and reminder e-mails in your name inviting him or her to visit gravity.com, to allow you to see invitations you have sent, and to track the success of our referral program.
