  4. Is Syngency secure? Is my data safe?

    Syngency uses the same high-level encryption technology shared by banks, airlines, hotels, and more, to ensure that all data transmitted between you and Syngency is safely and securely encrypted. Sensitive personal data such as passwords, bank account and tax identification numbers are all encrypted in our database, which is routinely backed up every 10 minutes. In addition to these security measures, Syngency commissions internationally-renown software security firm Synopsys to conduct thorough security assessments of the Syngency platform annually.

  5. I'm concerned about privacy. Is Syngency GDPR compliant?

    Syngency treats customers’ data privacy with utmost priority. As part of our full GDPR-compliance, we provide clear transparency on what customer data is being stored in our systems, as well as simple one-click tools for retrieving and even deleting your data should you wish to. For full information on what types of data is stored in Syngency, and specifics of our GDPR compliance, visit our Privacy Policy and GDPR Compliance pages.
