Synect considers the guarding of your privacy as of the utmost importance. This Privacy Statement states our commitment to maintaining your privacy.
Synect only collects such information as is necessary to conduct business with you. You will always know what information is being collected, and will have the option to choose how Synect utilises your information to communicate with you. We will only collect information by lawful and fair means and not in an intrusive way.
Synect and its service providers will only use personal or business information you have supplied in order to:
Aggregated data that contains no information specific to a particular person or business may be shared with our business partners, for example, aggregated statistical trend in a particular industry sector.
Synect uses the information you supply in many ways necessary for us to do business together: product promotion, order fulfillment, product registration and company file activation, provide transactional services and customer support and for secure access to Synect websites.
Product promotion
Synect needs to be able to contact you about product upgrades and
new product releases and to inform you of new services relevant to
your business, including special offers (you may, however, notify us
at any time that you do not want to receive any marketing
communications from Synect)
Order fulfillment
When ordering products and services, you must provide contact
information (such as name and delivery address) and financial
information (such as credit card number and expiration date if you
are using this payment method). Synect uses this information to
fulfill your order and bill you. If we have trouble processing an
order, this contact information is also used to get in touch with
you to resolve the problem.
Product registration
Synect asks you to register each product or service you purchase
with relevant personal and business details. Registration ensures
fulfill your order and bill you. If we have trouble processing an
order, this contact information is also used to get in touch with
you to resolve the problem.
Product registration
Synect asks you to register each product or service you purchase
with relevant personal and business details. Registration ensures
that only you - and no unauthorised persons - receive upgrades and
special offers.
Customer support
Registration links your Synect product and version to your
contact details. This allows our support consultants to provide you
with quality advice relevant to your particular situation when you
call Synect Customer Support. If software or documentation needs to
be emailed or posted to you, the consultant has all the information
needed to ensure fast service.

Synect is also committed to protecting your information offline. All of your personal and business information, not just sensitive information, is restricted to only those employees who need it to perform a specific task.

Synect informs its employees about the importance of confidentiality and customer privacy through its operating procedures, training programs and internal policies. Synect will take appropriate disciplinary measures to enforce privacy responsibilities of its employees. If Synect contracts with external service providers to provide service support, Synect will require them to conform to the Synect privacy policy.
To demonstrate that our privacy policy accords with this privacy legislation, we are committed to a voluntary self-assessment procedure and, in some countries, subject to supervision and inspection by appropriate government agencies.
