Effective date: 24 October 2026 · Last updated: 11 November 2026
Synapse is provided by QuantumCore WorkStation, the developer name used on Google Play (“we”, “us”, or “the developer”). This policy explains what the Synapse Android app does with information. Third-party services also apply their own privacy policies.
Synapse stores your study information locally in the app’s private storage. This can include:
This data stays on your device unless you choose to export a backup or send content to a third-party service as described below. Android cloud backup is disabled for Synapse, so the app's local storage is not copied into your Google account. We do not operate a Synapse account system or a server that receives your study data.
Exported backups are not encrypted by Synapse and can include your stored Gemini API key. Keep backup files private; do not upload them publicly or send them to support without removing sensitive information.
Synapse can analyse question papers, scanned pages, and some PDF textbooks with Google Gemini. These features are optional and require you to add your own Gemini API key.
generativelanguage.googleapis.com using your key. The developer does not receive the key or the content through a Synapse server.Before enabling Gemini, check Google's current age, region and account restrictions. Permission from a parent or guardian does not override the provider's rules.
If you use the in-app Wikipedia search, the words you search for are sent to the Wikipedia API for the language you selected (for example, en.wikipedia.org or bn.wikipedia.org). Wikipedia may receive standard technical information such as your IP address as part of that request. See the Wikimedia privacy policy: foundation.wikimedia.org/wiki/Policy:Privacy_policy.
| Access | Why Synapse uses it |
|---|---|
| Internet | Wikipedia, optional Gemini AI, and Google Play subscription verification. Core planning, timer, flashcard, and local book features work offline. |
| Camera | Only when you choose to take a photo of a question paper or textbook page; Synapse opens the system camera. |
| Photos / files | Only when you choose a PDF or image to import or scan; Synapse opens the system file picker. |
| Notifications | Focus-timer alerts and optional study reminders. Notifications are generated locally. |
| Vibration / wake lock | Timer feedback and keeping a focus session running while the screen is off. |
| Foreground service | To keep the focus timer reliable while the app is in the background. |
| Boot and clock changes | To reschedule your enabled local study reminder after a restart, app update or clock change. |
We do not sell your personal data. We do not use advertising networks, analytics SDKs, or crash-reporting SDKs. Data leaves your device only when you choose to:
If you email support, we receive your email address and the contents of your message so we can reply. We keep that correspondence only as long as needed to help you.
Google Play handles payments and card details under Google's policies. Synapse sends the subscription product ID and purchase token to a Cloudflare Worker operated by the developer, which checks the token with the Google Play Developer API. It may also receive the store order reference. Purchase tokens are processed in memory for verification and are not stored in a Synapse database. Cloudflare and Google may process request metadata such as IP addresses under their service policies. Synapse does not deliberately log purchase tokens or use them for advertising.
Google Play and its billing components may process purchase, device and diagnostic information under Google's policies. Cloudflare also processes technical information when serving the verifier or this policy page; see Cloudflare's privacy policy.
The app stores verified Pro status, expiry and order reference locally. Subscription cancellation stops future renewal; access continues until the paid period ends. Reinstalling can restore Pro from the same Google Play account, but does not restore local study data. There is no Synapse login or cloud study backup.
Manage or cancel your subscription in Google Play. Uninstalling Synapse or resetting its local data does not cancel a subscription or erase transaction records held by Google.
Synapse keeps study data in the app’s private storage on your device. No method of storage or transmission is completely secure. Protect your device with a screen lock and keep your Gemini API key private. If you believe your key has been exposed, revoke it in Google AI Studio and create a new one.
Synapse is intended exclusively for adults aged 18 and older, including university students, professional-exam candidates and lifelong learners. It is not intended for anyone under 18. The app does not ask for or verify your age and does not collect a birth date, identity document, facial image or biometric check. Our intended Google Play distribution uses an adult-only target audience and Play's Restrict Minor Access setting; these settings are not an in-app age check and do not prevent every form of access, including sideloaded copies. If we learn that a minor has sent personal information to support, we will investigate and delete it where applicable. Third-party services also have their own eligibility and regional requirements.
We may update this policy if the app’s features or legal requirements change. The updated version will be posted at this URL with a new “Last updated” date. If a change is significant, we will describe it in the app or store listing.
