Synergy Interactive may disclose personal data as follows:

To  Synergy Interactive Clients and Managed Services Providers: Synergy Interactive may disclose information, such as work history, education, skills and other relevant information needed for clients to assess you for a temporary or direct hire position, and as necessary to meet client requirements if you are assigned to or hired by such client.

Third Party Service Providers: Synergy Interactive may from time to time, outsource some or all operations of our business to third-party service providers. Entities with which Synergy Interactive partners for special projects or initiatives are provided with the minimum amount of information needed for the purpose of accomplishing their tasks and we restrict how such service providers may access, use and disclose your data.

Agents: Synergy Interactive works with other companies and individuals to perform functions on its behalf. Examples include processing compensation, providing employee benefits, and performing legal and other professional services. These agents have access to personal data needed to perform their functions, but they are contractually bound to restrict their use to the purposes for which they have been retained by Synergy Interactive.

Legal Investigations and requests: Synergy Interactive may disclose personal data in response to lawful requests by law enforcement agencies or other governmental agencies, including to meet national security or law enforcement requirements, or when Synergy Interactive in good faith believes it is necessary in order to comply with legal obligations.

Protection of Synergy Interactive and others: Synergy Interactive may release data when we believe release is appropriate to enforce or apply our policies and agreements, or protect the rights, property or safety of Synergy Interactive, our employees, or others. This does not include selling, renting, sharing or otherwise disclosing personal data for commercial purposes in violation of the commitments in this Privacy Notice.

Direct Marketing. We may use your contact information to send you email messages regarding services, events, opportunities and information we believe to be relevant to you based upon our relationship with you. You can opt out of our promotional or marketing emails at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link at the bottom of any such promotional or marketing email or by sending an email indicating your desire to opt out of such future promotional or marketing emails to unsubscribe@Synergy Interactive.com.  You cannot opt out of administrative or transactional emails. 

Data Retention and Integrity. We will retain your personal data for as long as is necessary in connection with our relationship with you, to provide you with the services requested, or for other necessary purposes such as compliance with a law, regulation or other legal authority, or as is otherwise permitted to be maintained for other legal purposes, such as audit, security, fraud prevention, or preserving and defending Synergy Interactive's legal rights. 

We encourage you to promptly update personal data previously provided to us if it changes so that Synergy Interactive can maintain accurate data about you. You may contact Synergy Interactive to update the content and accuracy of your information. Registered users of the Synergy Interactive website have access to their individual information and may update or correct it at any time. Although you may change your data, Synergy Interactive may retain in backup or inactive files containing the uncorrected or outdated data. Such data may be retained for several reasons, including backups for disaster recovery planning, dispute resolution purposes, troubleshooting, and enforcement of agreements. Therefore, you should not expect that all your historical data will be removed from our databases at the time you notify us of changes. Synergy Interactive reserves the right to correct personal data to make it current and consistent with data directly provided by you — for example, when you update your address on your resume but not elsewhere.  

Updates to this Privacy Notice. Synergy Interactive may update this Privacy Notice from time to time by posting a new version on our website. Synergy Interactive will post our revised Privacy Notice on our website and update the effective date above to reflect the date of the changes. If we make significant changes to our Privacy Statement, we may also notify you by other means prior to the changes taking effect, such as, prominently posting a notice of such changes on our websites, providing notice of the change through our online portals, or by directly contacting you.
