Privacy Policy for Synthly

Last updated: June 2026

At Synthly (accessible from synthly.top), we take your privacy seriously. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our blog, which focuses on mindful well-being topics. Please read this policy carefully. If you do not agree with the terms, please do not access the site.

We reserve the right to update or change this Privacy Policy at any time. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to periodically review this page for the latest information on our privacy practices.

Information We Collect

We collect information in two ways: (1) information you voluntarily provide to us, and (2) information that is automatically collected when you visit Synthly.

1. Information You Voluntarily Provide

Contact Forms: When you use our contact form (e.g., to ask a question or provide feedback), we collect your name and email address. We use this information solely to respond to your inquiry. We do not use this information for marketing unless you explicitly opt in.

Comments: If you leave a comment on one of our blog posts, we collect the data shown in the comments form, your IP address, and browser user agent string to help spam detection. An anonymized string created from your email address (a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.

2. Information Automatically Collected

Cookies: Synthly uses cookies to enhance your experience. Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your web browser. We use the following types of cookies:

• Essential Cookies: Required for the basic functionality of the site (e.g., to remember if you have accepted our cookie notice).
• Comment Cookies: If you leave a comment, you may opt-in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.
• Analytics Cookies: We use basic analytics (see "Analytics" section below) to understand how visitors use our site. These cookies collect anonymous information such as the pages you visit, how long you stay, and the referring website.

You can control cookies through your browser settings. However, disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of the site.

Analytics

We use basic analytics tools (e.g., Google Analytics or a privacy-focused alternative) to collect anonymous data about how users interact with Synthly. This information includes:

• Pages visited and time spent on each page
• Browser type and operating system
• Geographic location (country/city level, not precise location)
• Referring website or search terms used to find us

This data is aggregated and used to improve our content and user experience. We do not link this data to any personally identifiable information. Analytics providers may use cookies to collect this data. You can opt out of Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

Embedded Content from Other Websites

Articles on Synthly may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website. These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect for the following purposes:

• To respond to your inquiries submitted via contact forms
• To display comments on our blog posts
• To analyze site traffic and improve our content
• To detect and prevent spam or abusive behavior
• To comply with legal obligations

Data Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties. We may share your information only in the following circumstances:

• Service Providers: We may share data with trusted third-party service providers (e.g., hosting provider, analytics provider) who assist us in operating our website. These providers are contractually obligated to keep your information confidential and use it only for the services they provide to us.
• Legal Requirements: We may disclose your information if required to do so by law or in response to valid requests by public authorities (e.g., a court or government agency).
• Protection of Rights: We may disclose information to protect the rights, property, or safety of Synthly, our users, or others.

Data Retention

We retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Policy:

• Contact form submissions: Retained for up to 1 year after the inquiry is resolved, unless a longer retention period is required by law.
• Comments: Retained indefinitely so that we can recognize and approve follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
• Analytics data: Retained for up to 26 months.

Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have the following rights regarding your personal information:

• Access: You have the right to request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
• Rectification: You have the right to request that we correct any inaccurate or incomplete data.
• Erasure: You have the right to request that we delete your personal data, subject to certain exceptions (e.g., we may need to retain data for legal compliance).
• Object to Processing: You have the right to object to our processing of your personal data for direct marketing purposes or on grounds relating to your particular situation.
• Data Portability: You have the right to request a copy of your data in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at [email protected]. We will respond to your request within 30 days.

Children's Privacy

Synthly does not knowingly collect any personal information from children under the age of 13. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal data, please contact us immediately. We will take steps to remove that information from our servers.

Third-Party Links

Our blog may contain links to third-party websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of these external sites. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party sites you visit.

Security

We implement reasonable security measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to protect your data, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
