Data Protection Policy

This hobby site is intended to help service the Synthesizer restoration community and support people maintaining their instruments to a high standard.

The technical information exchange required to assist people with their restorations and repairs can be considerable. Here is what we do with your data and communications with us.

Communications

People are welcome to contact Super Synth Projects and must note that communications made via means such as email are private and not shared unless specifically requested.

Email correspondence is stored on Google gmail servers in a password protected account and maintained on that system and not copied to another client application, server or database.

Contact is deliberately avoided unless clients specifically request it or have expressed that they require an update or develop a supplier client relationship.

Contact may be re-established in situations where quality control or performance related issues have been found with products supplied or about to be supplied.

Marketing

Products are not marketed using any stored personal data with sales information only being supplied against direct requests.

Personal data arising from communication is not used for any marketing or sales purposes. Personal data is not passed on to anyone or any other organisation unless specifically requested.
