How does Syncro Soft protect my privacy if I choose to participate?
The information collected is anonymous, and Syncro Soft strives to protect
information during collection and transmission. The reports do not contain contact
information, such as your name, address, or phone number. The program generates a
globally unique identifier (GUID) that is stored on your computer to uniquely
identify it. The GUID is a randomly generated number; it does not contain any
personal information and is not used to identify you. The GUID is sent with every
report.
