Privacy Policy
In short: Syntergy stores your gameplay progress and settings on your phone. We do not collect, sell, or share your training data with our servers. The free app may show ads from Google. You can remove every ad with a one-time purchase through Google Play.
This Privacy Policy describes how Syntergy (“Syntergy,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) handles information when you use the Syntergy mobile application and this website (collectively, the “Services”). We wrote this policy to be clear and accurate based on how the app actually works today.
If you do not agree with this policy, please do not use the Services. For questions or to exercise your privacy rights, contact us at privacy@syntergy.cloud.
1. Who we are
Syntergy is a cognitive training application published under the package name
cloud.syntergy.app. We are the data controller for information described in this
policy as collected or processed by us directly.
2. Scope
This policy applies to:
- The Syntergy mobile app for Android (and iOS when available);
- This marketing website at syntergy.cloud and related pages; and
- Optional account features when API authentication is enabled in your app build.
Third-party services in the app — Google ads, Google Play for the optional ad-free purchase, and the service that confirms that purchase — process data under their own policies. We describe those below.
3. Information we do not collect
We do not operate analytics, crash reporting, advertising attribution, or behavioral tracking SDKs inside Syntergy. Specifically, we do not:
- Collect or upload your gameplay scores, level progress, session history, or cognitive profile to our servers;
- Sell or rent your personal information;
- Use your training data for targeted advertising or profiling by Syntergy;
- Track you across other companies’ apps or websites for Syntergy’s own marketing purposes.
Your performance metrics, charts, streaks, and personal bests remain on your device unless you manually export or share them outside the app.
4. Information stored on your device
Syntergy uses local on-device storage (AsyncStorage on React Native) to provide core functionality. This data stays on your phone or tablet and is not transmitted to us by default.
| Data category | Examples | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Game progress | Maximum level per mini-game, global level counter, synaptic points | Save your achievements and unlock progression |
| Session history | Aggregated response times, session counts, activity heatmap inputs | Power your local cognitive profile and charts |
| Preferences | Theme (light/dark), language, audio mute, haptics, reduce motion | Personalize the app experience |
| Onboarding state | Walkthrough completion, optional tryout snapshot | Guide first-time use |
| Auth session (local) | Guest flag, access token (if signed in), auth gate completion | Remember your sign-in choice on this device |
| Ad-free purchase | Whether ads are turned off on this phone | Remember a one-time purchase so ads stay hidden |
You can reset all game progress and session history from the Profile screen in the app. Theme, language, and feedback preferences are kept unless you clear app data at the operating-system level.
5. Optional account sign-in
Some versions of the app let you sign in with Google or with email and password. This is optional. When you choose to create an account:
- Email address and a hashed password (for email registration) are stored on our authentication backend to verify your identity;
- For Google Sign-In, we receive and validate a Google ID token; we store the associated email address returned by Google;
- We keep a sign-in session on this phone so you stay logged in.
Important: Even when signed in, your game progress and profile stay on your phone. We do not currently copy gameplay data to our servers.
You may continue as a guest at any time. Guests use the app fully offline with no account data sent to us.
6. Advertising (Google AdMob)
Syntergy is free and may show ads. Ads are provided by Google AdMob:
- A small ad on the home screen; and
- A full-screen ad from time to time after you finish games (every four games).
Ads appear only if you have not bought the ad-free upgrade (see Section 7).
6.1 Consent (EEA, UK, and similar regions)
Where required by law, the app asks for your consent before showing personalized ads, using a form provided by Google. You can accept, reject, or change your choice later.
6.2 Data processed by Google for ads
When ads are shown, Google may collect and process information such as:
- Device identifiers (for example, advertising ID on Android);
- IP address and coarse location derived from IP;
- Ad interaction data (impressions, clicks); and
- App and device metadata needed to deliver and measure ads.
This processing is performed by Google LLC as an independent data controller or processor (depending on your region and consent choices), not by Syntergy. We do not receive your raw advertising ID or a copy of Google’s ad targeting profile.
Learn more in Google’s policies:
- Google Privacy Policy
- AdMob & user data
- Google Ad Settings (manage ad personalization)
On Android, you can also reset or limit your advertising ID in system settings (Settings → Privacy → Ads).
7. Ad-free purchase
You can optionally pay once to remove every ad in the app. There is no subscription. Google Play handles the payment. We use RevenueCat only to confirm with Google Play that you bought the upgrade, so the app can turn ads off on this phone.
We do not receive your card number or billing address. You can restore the purchase from Settings if you reinstall the app or change phones (using the same Google Play account).

8. This website
This static marketing site does not use cookies, analytics scripts, or embedded trackers. Standard web server logs (if any) maintained by your hosting provider may include IP address, browser type, and requested URL — we do not link those logs to your in-app activity.
9. Legal bases for processing (EEA / UK GDPR)
Where GDPR applies, we rely on the following bases:
- Contract / legitimate interest: Local storage of gameplay and preferences is necessary to provide the app you requested.
- Consent: Personalized ads from Google, where required, based on the choice you make in the consent form.
- Legitimate interest: Limited ads to fund the free app, where permitted without consent.
- Contract: Account registration when you voluntarily sign in, and the optional ad-free purchase.
10. How long we keep information
- On-device data: Retained until you reset progress in the app, uninstall the app, or clear app storage in your device settings.
- Account data: Retained while your account is active. You may request deletion by contacting us; we will delete or anonymize account records within a reasonable period unless law requires retention.
- Ad-related data: Governed by Google’s retention practices; see Google’s documentation.
- Purchase records: Google Play keeps the receipt so you can restore the ad-free upgrade. This phone only remembers whether ads are off.
11. Sharing and disclosure
We do not sell your personal information. We share data only in these limited cases:
- Google (ads): To show and measure ads, as described in Section 6.
- Google Play: To process and restore the optional ad-free purchase, as described in Section 7.
- RevenueCat: Only to confirm that purchase, as described in Section 7.
- Google (Sign-In): When you choose Google sign-in, Google processes it according to its own privacy policy.
- Legal requirements: If required by law, regulation, legal process, or to protect rights, safety, and integrity of users and the Services.
- Business transfers: If Syntergy is involved in a merger, acquisition, or asset sale, information may transfer subject to this policy or notice to you.
12. International transfers
If you use optional account features, authentication data may be processed on servers located outside your country. Where required, we implement appropriate safeguards (such as Standard Contractual Clauses) for cross-border transfers.
Google may process ad and purchase data globally. RevenueCat may confirm purchases on servers outside your country.
13. Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:
- Access, correct, or delete personal information we hold about you;
- Object to or restrict certain processing;
- Withdraw consent (for example, ad personalization in the Google form or in device settings);
- Data portability, where applicable;
- Lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.
For Syntergy-controlled data, email privacy@syntergy.cloud. For ads, use Google’s tools linked in Section 6.2. For the ad-free purchase, use Google Play and the policies linked in Section 7.
13.1 California (CCPA / CPRA)
California residents: we do not sell or share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising as defined by California law. AdMob may process identifiers for advertising; see Google’s disclosures. You may submit a verifiable request to know, delete, or correct account information we hold by contacting us.
14. Children’s privacy
Syntergy is not directed at children under 13 (or the minimum age required in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us account information, contact us and we will delete it promptly.
Where ad rules require age-related treatment (for example, limited ad personalization for users in certain regions), Google’s consent tools and platform policies apply.
15. Security
We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect account credentials on our backend (including password hashing for email accounts and token-based authentication). Local app data is protected by your device’s operating-system security. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure.
16. Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy when the app or legal requirements change. We will revise the “Last updated” date at the top. Material changes may be communicated in-app or on this page. Continued use after changes constitutes acceptance where permitted by law.
