This
website exists to provide information about Synergise
- South Yorkshire's Centenary Experience for campers,
prospective campers, their parents, camp organisers
and companies/organisations considering supporting
the event. We take the issue of privacy very seriously
and are committed to protecting and respecting our
users' privacy. The Synergise team aims to keep
all information on this website current and up-to-date.
Synergise
is organised entirely by volunteers from South Yorkshire
Scouts and it is governed by the Scout Association's
procedures and guidelines.
Statement
of intent
From time to time you will be asked to submit
personal information about yourself, usually in
order to register to come to the centenary camp.
This information is normally limited to your name,
email address, other contact details and the Scout
group which you represent. This enables us to register
you to take part in the event and keep you fully
informed of our plans. Whenever you provide such
personal information, we will treat that information
in accordance with this policy. Synergise will act
in accordance with current legislation and aim to
meet current internet best practice.
Synergise
will, as part of its normal operations, send out
information emails. Entrants can decide to ask for
these not to be sent to them at any time by contacting
the Synergise team.
