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.

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.
