Who this policy applies to

We do not require visitors to register or provide personal information to browse or download content, and we do not knowingly collect personal information about our clients or business partners through this site. Because our site is accessible to visitors from any location, this policy describes our general privacy practices for all visitors, followed by additional rights that apply specifically to residents of certain jurisdictions (the European Economic Area/UK, California, and Maryland), as required by applicable law.

How do we collect your data?

When accessing our website, Synergy ECP, LLC. will learn certain information about you during your visit. We may use web technologies, like browser cookies, to aid in the data collection process. We may also use other software packages to analyze web log files and network traffic logs in our data collection process.

What data do we collect?

How we handle the information we learn about you depends upon what you do when visiting our site. If you visit our site to read and download information on our pages, we collect and store only the following information about you:

• The name of the domain from which you access the Internet
• The date and time you access our site
• The Internet address of the website you used to link directly to our site
• Geographical demographic information

If you identify yourself by sending us an e-mail containing personal information, then the information collected will be used solely to respond to your message.

How do we use cookies?

Synergy ECP, LLC. may use software programs to create summary statistics, which are used for purposes such as assessing the number of visitors to different sections of our site, which information is of most and least interest, determining technical design specifications, and identifying system performance or problem areas.

For site security purposes and to ensure that this service remains available to all users, Synergy ECP, LLC. uses software programs to monitor network traffic to identify unauthorized attempts to upload or change information, or otherwise cause damage.

We use the following categories of cookies on this site:

• Strictly necessary cookies — required for the site to function correctly.
• Analytics cookies — used to understand how visitors use the site, as described above.

You may opt out of non-essential cookies through the Accept/Decline banner at the bottom of the website.

How to manage cookies

Every visitor to our site may opt out of non-essential cookies through the opt-in/opt-out (Accept or Decline) control at the bottom of the website. The data gathered through cookies we do use is aggregated with data from other visitors to the site.

Do Not Track

Some web browsers offer a “Do Not Track” (DNT) signal that lets you tell websites you don’t want your online activities tracked. There is currently no accepted industry standard for how a website should respond to DNT signals, and our website does not currently respond to DNT browser signals.

If you’d like more control over tracking and ad targeting generally, you can visit the following industry opt-out tools:

• The Network Advertising Initiative (NAI) opt-out page, for member companies’ interest-based advertising.
• The Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA) consumer opt-out page, for companies participating in their Self-Regulatory Program for Online Behavioral Advertising.

These opt-out tools are operated by third parties, not by Synergy ECP, LLC., and their availability and effectiveness are outside our control.

Your data rights

Synergy ECP, LLC. will not obtain personally-identifying information about you when you visit our site unless you choose to provide such information to us, nor will such information be sold or otherwise transferred to unaffiliated third parties without your approval at the time of collection.

Depending on where you are located, you may have additional legal rights regarding your personal data, described below.

European Economic Area / UK visitors (GDPR / UK GDPR)

If applicable law grants you these rights, you may have the right to access, rectify, erase, or restrict processing of your personal data, and the right to data portability, subject to the conditions set out in applicable law.

California residents (CCPA/CPRA)

California residents may have the right to know what personal information we collect, the right to delete it, the right to correct it, and the right to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information. We do not sell or share personal information as those terms are defined under California law.

Maryland residents (Maryland Online Data Privacy Act)

If you are a Maryland resident, the Maryland Online Data Privacy Act (MODPA), effective October 1, 2025, may give you the following additional rights with respect to personal data we process:

• Right to confirm and access — confirm whether we are processing your personal data, and access that data.
• Right to correct — correct inaccuracies in your personal data.
• Right to delete — request deletion of personal data we have collected about you.
• Right to a copy (portability) — obtain a copy of your personal data in a portable, readily usable format.
• Right to opt out — opt out of processing for targeted advertising, sale of personal data, or profiling in furtherance of decisions that produce legally or similarly significant effects.

Data minimization: consistent with MODPA, we limit our collection of personal data through this site to what is reasonably necessary and proportionate to provide and maintain the site.

Sensitive data: we do not knowingly collect sensitive personal data (such as precise geolocation, health information, or racial or ethnic origin) through this website, and we do not sell sensitive personal data.

Minors: consistent with MODPA, we do not process the personal data of a known minor under age 18 for targeted advertising, sale, or profiling purposes.

To exercise any of these rights, contact our Data Privacy Officer using the information at the end of this policy. We will respond within the timeframe required by law, and you will not receive discriminatory treatment for exercising your rights.

Making a request

If you make a request under any of the rights described above, we have one month to respond to you. We may need to verify your identity before fulfilling certain requests. We may charge a small fee to provide copies of your personal data where permitted by law.

How long we keep your data

We retain the limited technical information described above (domain, access date/time, referring site, and general geographic/demographic data) only as long as necessary for the security and analytics purposes described in this policy. If you contact us by email, we retain that correspondence as long as reasonably necessary to address your inquiry and for our business records.

We maintain reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect the limited information we collect through this site from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure.
