Your Rights

Your principal rights under the EU General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) if you are an EU-resident user who is a natural person are set forth below. Rights under other data protection laws may vary. Rights under the GDPR are as follows:

  • the right to access;
  • the right to rectification;
  • the right to erasure;
  • the right to restrict processing;
  • the right to object to processing;
  • the right to data portability;
  • the right to complain to a supervisory authority; and
  • the right to withdraw consent.

You have the right to confirmation as to whether or not we process your personal data and, where we do, access to the personal data, together with certain additional information. That additional information includes details of the purposes of the processing, the categories of personal data concerned and the recipients of the personal data. Providing the rights and freedoms of others are not affected, we will supply to you a copy of your personal data. The first copy will be provided free of charge, but additional copies may be subject to a reasonable fee.

You have the right to have any inaccurate personal data about you rectified and, taking into account the purposes of the processing, to have any incomplete personal data about you completed.

In some circumstances you have the right to the erasure of your personal data without undue delay. Those circumstances include: the personal data are no longer necessary in relation to the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed; you withdraw consent to consent-based processing; you object to the processing under certain rules of applicable data protection law; the processing is for direct marketing purposes; and the personal data have been unlawfully processed. However, there are exclusions of the right to erasure. The general exclusions include where processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation, or for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims.

In some circumstances you have the right to restrict the processing of your personal data. Those circumstances include where you contest the accuracy of the personal data; processing is unlawful but you oppose erasure; we no longer need the personal data for the purposes of our processing, but you require personal data for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims; and you have objected to processing, pending the verification of that objection. Where processing has been restricted on this basis, we may continue to store your personal data. However, we will only otherwise process it with your consent; for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims; for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person; or for reasons of important public interest.

You have the right to object to our processing of your personal data on grounds relating to your particular situation, but only to the extent that the legal basis for the processing is that the processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of any official authority vested in us; or the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by us or by a third party. If you make such an objection, we will cease to process the personal information unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing is for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims.

To the extent that the legal basis for our processing of your personal data is:

  • (a) consent; or
  • (b) that the processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which you are party or in order to take steps at your request prior to entering into a contract,

and such processing is carried out by automated means, you have the right to receive your personal data from us in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. However, this right does not apply where it would adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others.

If you consider that our processing of your personal data infringes data protection laws, you have a legal right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority responsible for data protection. If you are an EU resident, you may do so in the EU member state of your habitual residence, your place of work or the place of the alleged infringement.

To the extent that the legal basis for our processing of your personal information is consent, you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time. Withdrawal will not affect the lawfulness of processing before the withdrawal.

You may exercise any of your rights in relation to your personal data by written notice to us. We respond to all requests we receive from individuals wishing to exercise their data protection rights in accordance with applicable data protection laws.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, we reserve the right to keep any information in our archives that we deem necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes and enforce our agreements.

Cookies

A cookie is a file containing an identifier (a string of letters and numbers) that is sent by a web server to a web browser and is stored by the browser. The identifier is then sent back to the server each time the browser requests a page from the server. We use two types of cookies on our website: “session cookies” and “persistent cookies.” Session cookies are temporary cookies that remain on your device until you leave the website. A persistent cookie remains on your device until you manually delete it (how long the cookie remains will depend on the duration or “lifetime” of the specific cookie and your browser settings). Cookies do not typically contain any information that personally identifies a user. However, personal information that we store about you may be linked to the information stored in and obtained from cookies.

How Cookies Are Used

We use cookies for the following purposes:

  • Authentication – we use cookies to identify you when you visit our website and as you navigate our website.
  • Status – we use cookies to help us to determine if you are logged into our website.
  • Personalization – we use cookies to store information about your preferences and to personalize the website or our services for you.
  • Security – we use cookies as an element of the security measures used to protect user accounts, including preventing fraudulent use of login credentials, and to protect our website and services generally.
  • Advertising – we use cookies to help us to display advertisements that will be relevant to you.
  • Analysis – we use cookies to help us to analyze the use and performance of our website and services.

Cookies Used By Our Service Providers

Our service providers use cookies and those cookies may be stored on your computer when you visit our website. We use Google Analytics to analyze the use of our website. Google Analytics gathers information about website use by means of cookies. The information gathered relating to our website is used to create reports about the use of our website.

Cookies Used For Advertising

Synergex uses remarketing to advertise online. Third-party vendors, including Google, show our ads on sites across the Internet. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your past visits to our website. We work with Google Analytics, to provide analytics services that use the cookies set on your device to measure the performance of advertising and track traffic to Synergex generally.

When we work with third-party vendors to serve you personalized, interest-based advertising, we do not share information with them that they can use to identify you or associate with you as a specific individual unless you have instructed us to do so (such as when you fill out a lead form in an ad). Similarly, if one of those parties have information about you saved in one of their own cookies on your browser, they use that information to help us send you a relevant ad, but they do not share with us information that we can associate with you as an individual.

Opting Out of Cookies

We use cookies that are necessary for us to provide the services you use and you cannot opt out of those cookies on the website. You are able to disable placement of some (but not all) cookies by setting your browser to decline cookies, though this may worsen your user experience. Additionally, you can also control, manage and/or delete cookies via your browser settings.

You are also able to opt out of third-party advertiser and ad network placement of cookies or targeted advertising generally by visiting their respective links.  For example, you can opt out of tracking by Google Analytics by visiting Google Ads Settings or by downloading the Google Analytics Opt-Out Browser Add-on.

PLEASE NOTE: If ads or other features on the website are provided by third parties, those parties set and use their own cookies that are subject to those third parties’ privacy notices and policies. Synergex does not have access to, or control over, those cookies. Also, if you respond to ads posted by third parties or submit information to third parties via the website, such third parties receive information about you subject to their privacy policies.

Security Safeguards

We employ physical, electronic, and managerial measures to safeguard the information we collect online. However, no company can fully eliminate security risks, so we cannot make guarantees about any part of our products or services. You are responsible for keeping your username and any applicable passwords. Do not share passwords with anyone else. Synergex assumes no responsibility for the privacy of sites linked to or from www.synergex.com.

How Long We Keep Your Personal Information

We keep your personal information only so long as we need it to provide our products and services to you and fulfill the purposes described in this policy. This is also the case for anyone that we share your personal information with and who carries out services on our behalf. Retention periods can vary significantly based on the type of information and how it is used. Our retention periods are based on criteria that include legally mandated retention periods, pending or potential litigation, our intellectual property or ownership rights, contract requirements, operational directives or needs, and historical archiving. When we no longer need to use your personal information and there is no need for us to keep it to comply with our legal or regulatory obligations, resolve disputes and enforce our agreements, we will either remove it from our systems or depersonalize it so that we cannot identify you.

Choice/Opt-Out

This site gives users the option to remove their information from our database in order to stop receiving information from us. If you have any questions, send email to thewebguru@synergex.com.
