Syntic AI is an artificial intelligence company building helpful and reliable AI systems.
This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and process your personal data when you use our website and other places where Syntic AI acts as a data controller — for example, when you interact with Syntic.ai or other products as a consumer for personal use ("Services"), or when Syntic AI operates and provides our commercial customers and their end users with access to our commercial products, such as the Syntic Team plan ("Commercial Services").
This Privacy Policy does not apply where Syntic AI acts as a data processor and processes personal data on behalf of commercial customers using Syntic AI's Commercial Services — for example, if your employer has provisioned you a Syntic for Work account, or you're using an app powered on the back-end by Syntic. In those cases, the commercial customer is the controller, and you can review their policies for more information.
Please see our Non-User Privacy Policy for information on how our large language models are trained and how personal data obtained from third-party sources may be used when developing or delivering our products and services.
This Privacy Policy also describes your privacy rights. More information about your rights, and how to exercise them, is in Section 4.
If you are located in Canada, Brazil, or the Republic of Korea, please also read the relevant Regional Supplemental Disclosure in Section 11.

You can find information on our Subprocessor List about the third parties Syntic AI engages where we act as a data processor, such as with our commercial services.
Depending on where you live and the laws that apply, you may enjoy certain rights regarding your personal data. These rights are limited, and the process for actioning requests related to our training dataset is complex. We may also decline a request if we have a lawful reason. We strive to prioritize the protection of personal data and comply with all applicable privacy laws.
To exercise your rights, you or an authorized agent may submit a request by emailing privacy@syntic.ai. After we receive your request, we may verify it by asking for information sufficient to confirm your identity. You may also have the right to appeal requests we deny by emailing the same address. Syntic AI will not discriminate based on the exercise of your privacy rights.
Syntic AI gives you access to tools to manage your data in your Privacy Settings.
When you access our website or Services, your personal data may be transferred to our servers in the US, or to other countries outside the European Economic Area ("EEA") and the UK. This may be a direct provision of data to us, or a transfer that we or a third party make.
Where information is transferred outside the EEA or the UK, we ensure it benefits from an adequate level of data protection by relying on:
In certain situations, we rely on derogations provided for under applicable data protection law to transfer information to a third country.
Syntic AI retains your personal data for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy and explained further in our privacy center. When the personal data collected is no longer required, we and our service providers destroy, delete, erase, or convert it into an anonymous form as permitted or required under applicable laws.
We may process personal data in aggregated or de-identified form to analyze the effectiveness of our Services, conduct research, study user behavior, and train our AI models. For instance:
We implement appropriate technical and organizational security measures designed to protect personal data from loss, misuse, and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction.
Our Services are not directed towards, and we do not knowingly collect, use, disclose, sell, or share any information from children under the age of 18. If you become aware that a child under the age of 18 has provided personal data to us while using our Services, please email privacy@syntic.ai and we will investigate and, if appropriate, delete the personal data.
Syntic AI may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any material changes, as appropriate, and update the Effective Date at the top of this page. You can view a summary of privacy policy changes and previous versions in our Privacy Center.

International Data Transfers. Syntic AI is headquartered in the United States. Your information will be transferred to, processed, and stored in the United States and other countries, which may not have data protection laws equivalent to Brazil.
