<p>There is an exception for those using our private services/are registered members of any Synth.Download provided services.

<p>All provided data is accessible by <a href="/admins">all administrators</a> of Synth.Download, but will <i>not</i> 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.</p>
<p>For some services, we utilize <a target="_blank" href="https://bunny.net">Bunny</a> as our public CDN and <a target="_blank" href="https://www.backblaze.com">Backblaze</a> for files and storing off-site system backups.</p>
<p>For registered users of any of our services, we will also store any extra information that is required by the service or otherwise optionally provided, such as email addresses <small>(for the case or need of verification or password resets)</small> and passwords <small>(securely stored and hashed)</small>.

<p>Dedicated section for our Fediverse instances (<a href="/sharkey">Sharkey</a>, <a href="/iceshrimp">Iceshrimp.NET</a> and <a href="/mastodon">Mastodon</a>): Federation isn't reliable nor private. All of your posts can be federated <small>(unless otherwise marked as local-only)</small>, but deletes can be ignored/unfederated. We cannot control or moderate the Fediverse for active protection against any malicious actions, but we attempt to <a href="/sharkey/#moderation">moderate well</a> to prevent issues with privacy.</p>
<p>Note that all other remote instances may have different privacy protections/standards. All media uploaded through our instance get uploaded to <a target="_blank" href="https://www.backblaze.com">Backblaze</a> then forwarded through <a target="_blank" href="https://bunny.net">Bunny</a> as our CDN. Some software, like Mastodon, have tools to help with personal privacy, such as post auto-deletion.</p>
<p>For our Fediverse instances (which includes <a href="/sharkey">Sharkey</a>, <a href="/iceshrimp">Iceshrimp</a> and <a href="/mastodon">Mastodon</a>), we cannot guarantee 100% privacy. Federation isn't reliable nor private by design, and is a public network where posts made are cloned and stored by other instances with their own administrators.</p>
<p>Direct messages are <i>not</i> completely private or encrypted in any way. Post deletion and edits <i>can</i> be ignored or missed by other instances, although we do attempt to block instances with malicious intents <small>(see <a href="/sharkey/#moderation">moderation</a> for more details)</small>. Other instances may have different privacy policies or different ways of handling data and protection standards.</p>
<p>Note that only any information made public by you (your posts, your bio and profile picture, other related information meant to be viewed by others) is what gets federated. Any other private information related to your account such as your email address and passwords will <i>never</i> be federated.</p>
<p>All media uploaded through our instance get uploaded to <a target="_blank" href="https://www.backblaze.com">Backblaze</a>, which stores files, then forwarded through <a target="_blank" href="https://bunny.net">Bunny</a> as our CDN for faster file delivery and media loading. Some software, like <a href="/mastodon">Mastodon</a>, have tools to help with personal privacy, such as post auto-deletion.</p>
