Your personal information will be collected when you complete forms, send communications and/or communicate in person or over the phone.
Your personal information is stored on our database system. Access to this system is password protected. Where hard system records of your personal information are held they shall be kept in a secure environment and destroyed once no longer relevant.
Purpose for which we Collect, Hold, Use and Disclose Your Personal Information
The primary purpose of the information collected is to facilitate the delivery of products and services for which you have engaged us for. Your information may be disclosed to third parties that are fundamental to the primary purpose for which your personal information has been collected.
We may use your information in order to:

Your personal information will not be disclosed to any party who is not involved in the primary purpose for which it was collected and specifically will not be disclosed for any secondary purpose.
We may contact and communicate with you either via telephone, email or SMS. Generally, we will not direct market to anyone unless they have been given an opportunity to opt out of receiving future direct marketing communications. However, if we contact you for the purposes of direct marketing, without having obtained your consent first, because it is impracticable to do so, we will at that time provide you with the opportunity to decline any further marketing communications at no cost to you. You acknowledge and agree that we may disclose your personal information to organisations outside of inSynergy. These organisations may include, but are not limited to, Property Coaches and Buyer’s Agents, Finance Brokers, Accountants, Solicitors and Property Researchers.
