Mobile Message Services
 
We may make available a service through which you can receive text or other types of messages from Syngenta (such as short message service, or SMS, enhanced message service, or EMS, and multimedia message service, or MMS) on your wireless or mobile device (“Mobile Message Service”). If you enroll in the PartnerGrow® Program, you agree to receive such messages from Syngenta at the address or mobile number you provide for that purpose.

You understand that your wireless carrier’s standard rates apply to these messages, and that you may change your mind at any time by following the instructions in the “Your privacy rights and who to contact” section below. If fees are charged to your wireless account invoice, you agree that we may collect from you and provide your carrier with your applicable payment information in connection therewith. You represent that you are the owner or authorized user of the wireless device you use to sign up for the Mobile Message Service, and that you are authorized to approve the applicable charges. In addition to meeting certain age restrictions and any other terms and conditions associated with each Mobile Message Service, you may be required to register personal information such as your name, text message, wireless address or mobile phone number. We may also obtain the date, time and content of your messages in the course of your use of the Mobile Message Service. We will use the information we obtain in connection with our Mobile Message Service in accordance with this Privacy Policy. Please note, however, that your wireless carrier and other service providers may also collect data about your wireless device usage, and their practices are governed by their own policies.
 
Who do we share your personal information with?
 
Syngenta will never share your personal information with any Third Party business organization that intends to use it for direct marketing purposes unless you have given us specific permission to do this.

However, we may share your personal information with trusted third parties.

We may share your personal information with:
  • Our advertising, marketing and market research agencies to help us deliver and analyze the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns and promotions.
  • Law enforcement or government authorities where they have followed due legal process to request us to disclose the information.
  • Third party providers of services, such as data processing, to Syngenta.

Syngenta and its affiliates are engaged in a global business. Syngenta and its affiliates have facilities and databases in different countries. Syngenta and its affiliates may, from time to time, transfer your personal data to a database belonging to Syngenta, an affiliate or a third-party in another country for the purposes described in this Privacy Statement. When Syngenta does so, Syngenta will take reasonable precautions, in accordance with applicable law, to protect the confidentiality and security of your personal data.

Transfer of Personal Data in other Cases. In addition, there may be some other, limited circumstances in which Syngenta or its affiliates may share or transfer the personal data in their databases to an unrelated third party, for example, to comply with a legal requirement, for the administration of justice, to protect your or your company's vital interests, or in the event of a corporate sale, merger, reorganization, dissolution or similar event.
