Privacy Policy

By default, as in both for visitors only browsing the site or those using our public services (that normally do not require any sort of registrations) and already registered users of our services, we store the minimum amount of connection data that is by default in our Caddy logs. This includes:
+-
+
- The IP address used to connect +
- The user-agent of the application used to connect (Usually, your browser/client, operating system, etc.) +
- The exact date and time a connection was made. +
We only store these logs for protection of our services in the case of any malicious behavior against our services, and are wiped/rolled over every 5 days.
+We do not send data to be processed by anyone/anywhere else. We do not use or have any sort of analytics system in place. We do not use any of this data to "collect" or "profile" any individual.

There is an exception for those using our private services/are registered members of any Synth.Download provided services. We will, of course, store all extra provided information that is required by the service or optionally provided by the user, such as email addresses for verification or password resets. What information or data is required varies from service to service.
+We use services that follow the GDPR for storing and managing personal data, and allow for complete deletion of all personal data (if any is stored ourselves) whenever possible.
+All provided data is accessible by all administrators of Synth.Download, but will not be mishandled/misused for any other purpose than moderation/administration actions or in the case of a need for emergency contact. Depending on the service, we may also have easy access to user/personal information for the cases of account management or for service moderation/administrative purposes.
+For some services, we utilize Bunny as our public CDN and Backblaze for files and storing off-site system backups.

Dedicated section for our Fediverse instances (Sharkey, Iceshrimp.NET and Mastodon): Federation isn't reliable nor private. All of your posts can be federated (unless otherwise marked as local-only), but deletes can be ignored/unfederated. We cannot control or moderate the Fediverse for active protection against any malicious actions, but we attempt to moderate well to prevent issues with privacy.
+Note that all other remote instances may have different privacy protections/standards. All media uploaded through our instance get uploaded to Backblaze then forwarded through Bunny as our CDN. Some software, like Mastodon, have tools to help with personal privacy, such as post auto-deletion.
