Welcome to https://synergycompliance.com.au (the “Site”). We understand the importance of online privacy for users of our Site. This policy outlines our approach to privacy for users of the Site (“Visitors”) who visit without conducting business, and Visitors who register to transact business on the Site and utilise the various services offered by Synergy Compliance (collectively, “Services”) (“Authorised Customers”).
“Personally Identifiable Information”
Personally Identifiable Information refers to any information that identifies or can be used to identify, contact, or locate the individual to whom the information belongs, including but not limited to, name, address, phone number, email address, financial profiles and credit card information. Personally Identifiable Information excludes information that is collected anonymously (that is, without identifying the individual user) or demographic information not linked to an identified individual.
What Information is Collected by Synergy Compliance?
We may collect basic user profile information from all our Visitors. We collect the following additional information from our Authorised Customers who use our contact form: name, email address and phone number.
How is Personally Identifiable Information used by Synergy Compliance?
We use Personally Identifiable Information to customise the Site and offer appropriate services. We may email Visitors and Authorised Customers regarding research, purchase and selling opportunities, or information related to the Site’s subject matter. We may also use Personally Identifiable Information to respond to specific inquiries or provide requested information.
With Whom is Information Shared?
We may share aggregated information about our Visitors, including the demographics of our Visitors and Authorised Customers, with our affiliated agencies and third-party vendors. We also offer the opportunity to “opt-out” of receiving information or being contacted by us or any agency acting on our behalf.
How is Personally Identifiable Information Stored?
The Personally Identifiable Information collected by Synergy Compliance is securely stored and is not accessible to third parties or employees of Synergy Compliance, except for use as indicated above.
What Choices are available to Visitors regarding Collection, Use, and Distribution of Information?
Visitors and Authorised Customers may opt-out of receiving unsolicited information from us and/or our vendors and affiliated agencies by responding to emails as instructed, or by contacting us at info@synergycompliance.com.au.
Cookies
A cookie is a string of information that a website stores on a visitor’s computer, and that the visitor’s browser provides to the website each time the visitor returns.
We use “cookies” to collect information. You can instruct your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. However, if you do not accept cookies, you may not be able to use some parts of our Service.
Are Cookies used on the site?
Cookies are used for a variety of reasons. We use Cookies to obtain information about the preferences of our Visitors and the services they select. Visitors who do not wish to have cookies placed on their computers should set their browsers to refuse cookies before using https://synergycompliance.com.au, with the drawback that certain features of the website may not function properly without the aid of cookies.
How does the site keep Personally Identifiable Information secure?
All our employees are familiar with our security policy and practices. The Personally Identifiable Information of our Visitors and Authorised Customers is only accessible to a limited number of qualified employees who are given a password in order to gain access to the information. We audit our security systems and processes on a regular basis. While we take commercially reasonable measures to maintain a secure site, electronic communications and databases are subject to errors, tampering, and break-ins, and we cannot guarantee or warrant that such events will not take place, and we will not be liable to Visitors or Authorised Customers for any such occurrences.
How can Visitors correct any inaccuracies in Personally Identifiable Information?
Visitors and Authorised Customers may contact us to update Personally Identifiable Information about them or to correct any inaccuracies by emailing us at info@synergycompliance.com.au.
Can a Visitor delete or deactivate Personally Identifiable Information collected by the site?
We provide Visitors and Authorised Customers with a mechanism to delete/deactivate Personally Identifiable Information from the Site’s database by contacting us at info@synergycompliance.com.au. However, because of backups and records of deletions, it may be impossible to delete a Visitor’s entry without retaining some residual information. An individual who requests to have Personally Identifiable Information deactivated will have this information functionally deleted, and we will not sell, transfer, or use Personally Identifiable Information relating to that individual in any way moving forward.
