We believe in transparency and want you to understand our data practices clearly.
This policy applies to all users of Syntheris, regardless of how you access our platform.
2. Information We Collect
Syntheris operates as a simple, free-to-play entertainment platform. We collect minimal information necessary to provide our services.
2.1 Automatically Collected Information
When you access Syntheris, we may automatically collect certain technical information:
- Device Data: Information about your device including type, operating system, and browser
- Usage Data: Information about how you interact with our games and navigate our platform
- Technical Data: IP address (anonymized), access times, and referring URLs
- Performance Data: Information about how our games perform on your device
2.2 User-Provided Information
Syntheris does not require account creation or user registration. You can enjoy our games anonymously without providing personal information such as names, email addresses, or contact details.
3. How We Use Information
The limited information we collect serves specific, legitimate purposes:
- Ensuring technical compatibility and optimal performance
- Improving user experience and game quality
- Identifying and resolving technical issues
- Understanding general usage patterns to enhance our services
- Maintaining platform security and preventing abuse

We do not use your information for marketing, advertising, profiling, or any commercial purposes beyond providing free entertainment.
4. Data Storage and Local Storage
Syntheris uses browser local storage to enhance your experience:
4.1 Age Verification Storage
We store your age verification consent locally on your device. This prevents repeated verification requests and improves your experience. This data remains on your device and is not transmitted to our servers.
4.2 Game Data
Some game progress or preferences may be stored locally to maintain continuity between sessions. All such data is virtual and has no real-world value.
4.3 Managing Local Storage
You can clear local storage anytime through your browser settings. This will remove stored preferences and require age re-verification on your next visit.
5. Cookies and Similar Technologies
Syntheris uses minimal cookie technology:
- Essential Cookies: Required for basic site functionality and age verification
- No Tracking: We do not use advertising cookies, analytics cookies, or cross-site tracking technologies
- Third-Party Cookies: Our platform does not implement third-party advertising or tracking cookies
You can manage cookies through your browser settings, though disabling essential cookies may affect site functionality.
6. Information Sharing and Disclosure
We do not sell, rent, or trade your information. We may disclose information only in limited circumstances:
- Legal Requirements: When required by law, regulation, legal process, or governmental request
- Rights Protection: To protect our rights, property, or safety, or that of our users or the public
- Business Transfers: In connection with any merger, sale, or transfer of our business
7. Third-Party Links
Syntheris includes links to responsible gambling resources:
- GambleAware (www.gambleaware.org)
- GamCare (gamcare.org.uk)
- Gambling Therapy (gamblingtherapy.org)
These external websites have their own privacy policies. When you click these links, you leave Syntheris and enter third-party sites beyond our control. We encourage you to review their privacy policies.
8. Data Security
We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect the minimal information we collect:
- Secure hosting infrastructure
- Encryption of data transmission
- Limited access to any collected information
- Regular security assessments
However, no internet transmission or electronic storage method is 100% secure. While we strive to protect information, we cannot guarantee absolute security.
9. Children's Privacy
Syntheris is strictly for users 18 years and older. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18. Our age verification system is designed to prevent minors from accessing our platform. If we discover that someone under 18 has provided information or accessed our site, we will take immediate steps to delete that information and prevent further access.
10. Data Retention
Since we collect minimal data and do not maintain user accounts, there is little personal information to retain. Technical logs and usage data are retained only as long as necessary for operational purposes, typically no longer than 90 days, after which they are automatically deleted.

- Access: Request information about what data we hold
