Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Welcome to Synap (accessible at https://www.synap.bond). We are committed to protecting your personal information and your right to privacy. If you have any questions or concerns about our policy, or our practices with regards to your personal information, please contact us.

When you visit our website, and use our services, you trust us with your personal information. We take your privacy very seriously. In this privacy policy, we seek to explain to you in the clearest way possible what information we collect, how we use it, and what rights you have in relation to it.

2. Information We Collect

We collect personal information that you voluntarily provide to us when registering on the website, expressing an interest in obtaining information about us or our products, or otherwise contacting us.

• Account Credentials: We collect your email address, password, and public profile data (e.g., full name, avatar) if you log in via Google OAuth or standard registration.
• Academic Uploads: We collect PDF documents, audio recordings, and YouTube URLs you upload to create transcriptions and generated study notes.
• Browser API Keys: If you choose to enter your own custom Groq API Key to bypass free tier limits, this key is stored strictly on your local browser (localStorage) and is never sent to, read, or stored on our servers.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use personal information collected via our website for a variety of business purposes described below:

• To facilitate account creation and logon process.
• To generate highly detailed study notes, quizzes, and flashcards utilizing our connected large language models.
• To maintain and improve the security, performance, and stability of the application.
• To deliver advertising banners via our premium ad-network partners (e.g. Google AdSense / Carbon Ads) to cover infrastructure and API costs.

4. Share of Information

We only share information with your consent, to comply with laws, to provide you with services, to protect your rights, or to fulfill business obligations. Your transcript data is securely sent to LLM processors (such as Groq SDK / API) solely to compile study notes, and is never sold or used for training models.

5. Cookies and Tracking

We may use cookies and similar tracking technologies to access or store information (like session states). Our advertising partners (Google AdSense) may use cookies to serve personalized ads based on your visits to this and other websites.
