Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Syntro Inc. (“Syntro,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) provides an AI-native procurement operating system that helps hardware manufacturers streamline sourcing, supplier coordination, and purchasing workflows (the “Service”). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect information when you visit our website at usesyntro.com or use our Service.

This policy applies to information about individuals—such as employees and authorized users of our business customers (“Customers”)—who interact with our website or Service. It does not govern the Customer Data (defined below) that our Customers submit to the Service, which is subject to our agreement with that Customer.

By using our website or Service, you agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy.

2. Information We Collect

2.1 Information You Provide

We collect information you provide directly to us, including when you:

• Create an account or request a demo (name, work email address, job title, company name, phone number)
• Communicate with us via email, chat, or support channels
• Sign agreements or purchase orders
• Respond to surveys or participate in research

2.2 Information Collected Automatically

When you use our website or Service, we automatically collect:

• Log data: IP address, browser type, operating system, pages visited, timestamps, and referring URLs
• Usage data: features accessed, actions taken within the Service, session duration, and performance metrics
• Device information: device type, unique device identifiers, and network information
• Cookies and similar tracking technologies (see Section 8)

2.3 Customer Data

Our Customers upload or connect business data to the Service—such as purchase orders, supplier information, bills of materials, pricing, and procurement workflows (“Customer Data”). Syntro processes Customer Data on behalf of and under the instructions of the Customer. Our use of Customer Data is governed by our agreement with the Customer, not this Privacy Policy. If you are an end user of a Customer's Syntro account and have questions about how your information is handled, please contact that Customer directly.

2.4 Information from Third Parties

We may receive information about you from third-party sources, such as:

• Integration partners and connected business systems (e.g., ERP systems, email platforms) that Customers authorize to connect to the Service
• Publicly available sources such as LinkedIn or company websites, used for sales and marketing purposes

3. How We Use Information

We use the information we collect to:

• Provide, operate, maintain, and improve the Service
• Create and manage your account and respond to your requests
• Process transactions and send related notices (invoices, receipts, payment confirmations)
• Send product updates, security alerts, and administrative messages
• Send marketing and promotional communications (where permitted by law and subject to your opt-out rights)
• Monitor and analyze usage trends to improve user experience and product features
• Detect, investigate, and prevent security incidents, fraud, and abuse
• Comply with legal obligations

We do not use Customer Data to train, fine-tune, or improve any AI or machine learning model, except in aggregated and de-identified form that cannot reasonably be associated with or used to identify a Customer or individual.

4. How We Share Information

We do not sell your personal information. We may share your information as follows:

4.1 Service Providers

We share information with third-party vendors and service providers that perform services on our behalf, including cloud infrastructure, data hosting, analytics, customer support, and payment processing. These providers are contractually required to handle information only as directed by us and in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

4.2 Sub-processors

In providing the Service, we may engage sub-processors—including AI and machine learning service providers—to process Customer Data on our behalf. A current list of sub-processors is available to Customers upon written request. All sub-processors are subject to data protection obligations no less protective than those we apply.

4.3 Business Transfers

If Syntro is involved in a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, or sale of all or substantially all of its assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will provide notice before your information is subject to a materially different privacy policy.

4.4 Legal Requirements

We may disclose your information if required to do so by law or in response to valid legal process (such as a subpoena, court order, or government request), or to protect the rights, property, or safety of Syntro, our Customers, or others.

4.5 With Your Consent

We may share your information for other purposes with your prior consent.

5. Data Retention

We retain personal information for as long as necessary to provide the Service, fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, and comply with our legal obligations. When a Customer terminates their agreement with us, we make Customer Data available for export for a period of at least sixty (60) days, after which we delete it from our systems except as required by law or our standard backup retention policies.

6. Security

We maintain commercially reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect information against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction, consistent with industry standards for products of similar type, complexity, and stage of development. Such safeguards may include encryption in transit and at rest, access controls, audit logging, secure credential handling, and other measures reasonably designed to protect your information.

No method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is completely secure. If you believe your information has been compromised, please contact us immediately at hello@usesyntro.com.

In the event of a confirmed security incident involving personal information, we will notify affected Customers without undue delay and in accordance with applicable law.
