  • Web beacons, also known as pixel tags or clear GIFs, which are used to demonstrate that a webpage or email was accessed or opened, or that certain content was viewed or clicked.

Information we obtain from other sources about Users: 

  • Social media. We may maintain pages on social media platforms, such as X, LinkedIn, Facebook, and other third-party platforms. When you visit or interact with our pages on those platforms, the platform provider’s privacy policy will apply to your interactions and their collection, use and processing of your personal information. You or the platforms may provide us with information through the platform, and we will treat such information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

When Users submit recordings to Syntropi, we will collect and process, and disclose to our customers, data about Users and Non-Users who may appear in the recordings, that may be considered biometric data, identifiers, or information (“biometric data”). This biometric data may be derived from imagery of the face and/or face landmarks. 

Our customers may process such biometric data for verification of the functionality and usability of their devices or services, to cure errors as they are discovered, to train machine learning (ML), computer-vision (CV), or artificial intelligence (AI) models, including identification or recognition models, and to improve our customers’ products and services.
