When deemed necessary for quotations and deliveries, certain client information is shared with onsite operators, sub-contractors and suppliers.

The individual’s data will be used by the Synecore’s project management team for email and telephone communications before, during and after the project.

From time to time, the Synecore marketing department may wish to send clients relevant information or seasonal greetings, therefore the business email address and postal address will be added to a client database for marketing use. If the client does not feel the information they receive is relevant, they can unsubscribe using the link at the end of the email campaign or contact us at news@synecore.co.uk and marketing emails will cease.

This will need to be stated at the time of agreeing to our terms and conditions.

Email marketing – Occasionally we will systematically send email marketing to data that is categorised by job title, business sector and region to ensure all marketing communication is only sent those with a legitimate interest in the topic.
