8. International Transfers
Your data may be processed in countries different from your own. Where required, we rely on appropriate safeguards (e.g., SCCs) for data transfers.

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect information. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure.
10. Your Rights
Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, port, or restrict processing of your data, and to object or withdraw consent. To exercise rights, contact us at synthchronics@gmail.com. You may also complain to your local data authority.
11. AI Training & Human Review
By default, we do not use your personal content (photos, videos, voice, prompts, outputs) to train our models without your explicit consent. Some third-party AI vendors may process data to provide their services; where available, we opt out of provider training. Limited human review may occur for abuse detection, fraud prevention, or support, subject to confidentiality.
