When you browse our website and/or Pacific Synergy App(s), read pages, or download information, the web server will gather and store certain information about your visit automatically. This information does not identify you personally. This information includes Internet Provider (IP) addresses, which are captured in web server log files by default. We may use your IP address internally to help diagnose problems with our server, administer the Web Site and/or Pacific Synergy App(s) and to monitor network traffic to identify unauthorised attempts to upload or change information, or cause damage.
If you provide us with any Personal Data relating to a third party (e.g. information of your spouse, children, parents, and/or employees), by submitting such information to us, you represent to us that you have obtained the consent of the third party to provide us with their Personal Data for the respective purposes.

Pacific Synergy has found that informative notifications (e.g., SMS and Push Notifications) and emails are a quick and effective way to communicate with our registered users and subscribers about new resources and upcoming events. We maintain an opt-out, user-customisable subscription database of users who have requested to receive these notifications and emails. Every notification and email you receive provides an option for you to unsubscribe to such information.

If you would like to request the withdrawal of your Personal Information, please contact Pacific Synergy.
While Pacific Synergy will make all reasonable efforts to store personal information collected by Pacific Synergy in a secure server and/or secure files and to keep this information accurate and up-to-date, the Internet is not a secure medium for the transmission of information. Therefore, Pacific Synergy cannot accept responsibility for, warrant or guarantee, the security of information you send to or receive from Pacific Synergy over the Internet.
