Privacy
How we handle
your data.
Plain language. Honest commitments. What we collect, why, and what we will never do.
Effective date: [DATE]
Our promise
Three commitments we will never break.
- We don't sell your data — ever. Not aggregate. Not anonymized. Not in any form.
- We don't train a shared AI on your data. Cross-customer pattern detection (if you opt in) uses anonymized statistical signals only — never raw records.
- No paid placements in your Brief. No vendor pays to be recommended, ranked, or featured. The Brief reflects what your data says — nothing else.
01 · Who we are
Syphor Inc. ("Syphor," "we," "us") operates the website at syphor.com and provides operations intelligence services to hospitality businesses. Our registered office is in Toronto, Canada. Contact: our privacy contact form.
02 · What we collect
We collect three categories of information:
- Account information: name, email address, company name, role, billing details.
- Usage data: pages visited on syphor.com, features used in our product, logs and error reports — used to operate and improve the service.
- Customer operational data: the data we read on your behalf from systems you authorize — point of sale, reservations, reviews, accounting, scheduling, and the like. This data remains yours; we are a processor on your behalf.
03 · How we use it
- Deliver the service: read your authorized systems and generate the daily Brief.
- Communicate with you: account messages, security notices, service updates.
- Improve our product: usage analytics that help us prioritize features. Aggregated and anonymized.
04 · How we share it
We share information only with:
- Service providers who help us operate the service (hosting, payment processing, support tooling), each bound by data processing agreements.
- Legal authorities when required by court order or law.
- Successor entities in the event of a merger or acquisition, with the same protections in force.
05 · Where data lives, how long it stays
Customer data is stored on our cloud infrastructure (Cloudflare edge + our analysis tier on tenant-isolated infrastructure). Retention policies:
- Raw transaction-level data: retained 90 days, then summarized.
- Summarized data: retained for the life of the account.
- Backups: daily encrypted snapshots, 30-day retention.
- Account closure: full export available; deletion within 30 days of request.
EU and Canadian data-residency options available on request for enterprise customers.
06 · Security measures
- Encryption in transit: TLS 1.3 on all connections.
- Encryption at rest: AES-256 in our database and backups.
- Two-factor authentication required on all administrative accounts.
- Audit logs for every access, export, and configuration change, retained 12 months.
- Internal access: Syphor employees only access customer data with explicit consent for support cases. All access is logged.

09 · Children
Our service is not intended for individuals under 18. We do not knowingly collect data from minors. If you believe a minor has provided us data, contact our privacy contact form and we will delete it.
10 · Changes to this policy
We may update this policy as the service evolves or laws change. If we make material changes, we will notify customers 30 days in advance via email and via a notice on syphor.com. The effective date above will always reflect the latest version.
