This Privacy Policy explains how Sphynx, a product of HarmonizeOps LLC, collects, uses, and protects your information when you use our browser extension and related services.
For the purposes of this Privacy Policy, “scrolls” refer to user-created content including prompts, instructions, templates, and associated metadata such as titles, categories, and tags that users create and store within the Sphynx application. Scrolls represent the primary user-generated content that Sphynx is designed to help users organize, store, and manage.
Note: Note: Pro and Guild account users do not see advertisements and therefore no advertising data is collected for these account types.
Note: Note: While we don’t collect personal identifying information directly, our advertising partner (Google AdMob) may collect device identifiers and usage data for free account users only, as described in the Advertising and AdMob Integration section above. Pro and Guild account users do not see advertisements and therefore no advertising data is collected.
Free Accounts: Our mobile application integrates Google AdMob to display advertisements to users with free accounts. AdMob is a mobile advertising platform that helps us provide our services while supporting our business model for free users.
Pro and Guild Accounts: Users with Pro or Guild subscriptions do not see advertisements and therefore no advertising data is collected for these account types.
The following information applies only to users with free accounts who may see advertisements.
When you use our mobile app with a free account, AdMob may collect the following information:
AdMob collects this data to:
Data collected through AdMob for free accounts may be shared with:
Free account users have several options to control advertising data collection:
All scroll content is encrypted using industry-standard encryption before storage. Your scroll content remains encrypted and is only decryptable on your device with your encryption keys.
While scroll content is encrypted in the database, SPHYNX does not encrypt scroll titles, categories, or tags. This unencrypted metadata is collected for two specific purposes:
Important: Important: This metadata is never exposed outside of our secure database environment and will never be used for direct marketing purposes or sold/offered to third parties.
Any technical data that reaches our systems is automatically anonymized before being logged. This ensures that debugging information cannot be traced back to individual users.
We do not, and will never:
You retain full ownership and control of all scrolls and content you create or store using our extension.
You may delete your stored scrolls at any time through the extension interface. Deletion is permanent and irreversible.
You can export your scrolls and associated data at any time through the extension’s export functionality.
Local Storage: Primary data storage occurs locally on your device for immediate access and privacy.
Cloud Storage: We offer optional cloud storage of your scrolls to enable synchronization across devices. All cloud-stored scrolls maintain the same end-to-end encryption standards as local storage, ensuring your data remains secure and private even when stored on our servers.
Google AdMob SDK: Our mobile application integrates the Google AdMob SDK to display advertisements to free account users only. The SDK collects device and usage information as described in our Advertising and AdMob Integration section.
App Tracking Transparency (iOS): For iOS users with free accounts, our app implements Apple’s App Tracking Transparency framework, which requires user consent before accessing the device’s advertising identifier (IDFA) for tracking purposes.
GDPR Compliance: For free account users in the European Economic Area (EEA) and United Kingdom, we implement Google’s Consent Management Platform (CMP) to ensure compliance with GDPR requirements for advertising data collection.
Anonymized debugging data is retained for a maximum of 90 days for troubleshooting and improvement purposes, after which it is automatically purged.
Advertising-related data collected through AdMob for free accounts is subject to Google’s data retention policies. Generally, this data is retained for up to 2 years for advertising and analytics purposes, after which it is automatically deleted or anonymized. Pro and Guild account users have no advertising data retention as they do not see advertisements.
We may update these terms to reflect changes in our practices or for legal compliance. Material changes will be communicated through the extension update mechanism or our official communication channels.
Our practices comply with applicable data protection regulations including GDPR, CCPA, and other relevant privacy laws.
