Sync.Me Privacy Policy
Last Revised: November 10, 2020
INTRODUCTION
Sync.Me Technologies Ltd. (“Sync.Me”, “our”, “we”, “us” or the “Company”) is
committed to respect the privacy and Personal Information of the users
(“user” or “you”) in connection with the use of our mobile application and/or
by accessing our website https://sync.me (collectively the “Service”).
• Our Service is primarily designed to empower consumers to make
informed decisions and deter illegal and fraudulent calling activities.
• Our Service plays a key role in enhancing connectivity and thwarting
intrusive and fraudulent calls, by introducing a variety of smart features
that empower consumers to make informed decisions and reduce the
risks of the user community from being targeted by malicious or
misleading activities. These features include:
i. Reporting and blocking spam: our users can choose to report and
block numbers to be added to their personal spam call list, and
potentially a regional spam call list. In the event a particular
number was reported as spam by a certain number of users, other
users will be notified if they receive a call from that same number.
ii. Live Caller ID and Spam detection: our Live Caller ID displays the
name of the caller before the consumer answers the call, and flags
if the number was reported as spam.
iii. Number search (reverse lookup): individuals, including those who
are not registered users with Sync.ME, may manually search a
number on Sync.ME's web-based platform in order to ascertain
the identity of the caller and whether a number was reported as
spam. The contact information collected by Sync.ME is used solely
to empower individuals to identify incoming calls from unknown
sources, identify unknown numbers through the use of reverse
numeric lookup, as well as to report and block fraudulent,
intrusive or inappropriate calls.
• We designed our features to better respond to deceptive and abusive
practices aided by anonymity, both in telemarketing as well as in other
abusive or deceptive practices (such as abusive calls).
• Our goal is to promote consumer privacy by allowing them to know who
is calling them, as well as to promote accountability throughout the
industry.
• Important note: Nothing in this Privacy Policy is intended to limit in any
way your statutory rights, including your rights to a remedy or means of
enforcement.
