Who We Are

Synq’d NG is a digital culture platform where music, tech, and entertainment connect. Our website address is https://synqd.ng.

We exist to keep you in sync with the culture—bringing you stories, trends, and insights that feel fresh, relevant, and easy to engage with.

What Personal Data We Collect and Why We Collect It

We respect your privacy. Synq’d NG does not collect personal data from users browsing the site.

The only exception is when you voluntarily subscribe to our newsletter, where we collect your email address to keep you updated with our weekly drops and curated content.

Comments

When visitors leave comments on Synq’d NG, we collect the data shown in the comments form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string. This helps us detect and prevent spam.

An anonymised string (hash) created from your email may be shared with the Gravatar service to check if you use it. After your comment is approved, your profile picture (if available) may be visible alongside your comment.

Media

If you upload images to the website, avoid including embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Other users may be able to download and extract location data from uploaded images.

Contact Forms

When you reach out to us through our contact forms, we collect your name, email address, and message. This allows us to respond effectively and keep communication smooth.

Cookies

If you leave a comment, you may opt to save your name, email, and website in cookies for convenience. These cookies last for one year.

If you log in to the site (if applicable), temporary cookies are set to check browser compatibility. Login cookies last for two days, while display preference cookies last up to one year.

If you select “Remember Me,” your login will persist for two weeks. Logging out removes these cookies.

If you edit or publish content, a temporary cookie is stored to track the post ID. This expires after one day.

Embedded Content from Other Websites

Articles on Synq’d NG may include embedded content (videos, music players, images, etc.).

Embedded content behaves exactly as if you visited the original website. These third-party platforms may collect data, use cookies, and track your interaction with their content.

Analytics

Synq’d NG uses analytics tools (such as Google Analytics) to understand how users interact with our platform.

The data collected is limited to insights provided by these tools and is used to improve user experience and content quality.

Who We Share Your Data With

How Long We Retain Your Data

For registered users (if applicable), personal information provided in user profiles is stored securely. Users can view, edit, or delete their information at any time (except usernames). Site administrators can also access and manage this information.

What Rights You Have Over Your Data
