Executive Summary: Syut is engineered around Architectural Privacy by Design. Syut does not host, collect, inspect, transmit, track, or sell your personal data, files, or photos. All data transfer operations occur strictly across your private local network (LAN) directly between your phone and your chosen computer folder or external hard drive.
1. Zero Data Custody & Zero Cloud Architecture
Syut (owned and developed by Amita Chaturvedi / Syut Technologies) is an on-premises, decentralized data transfer and sovereign backup utility.
Neither Syut, its developers, nor hosting providers act as a cloud storage host, data custodian, data controller, or data processor. At no point do your photos, videos, directory structures, filenames, or personal documents transit through or reside on external servers operated by Syut. All data transfers remain 100% confined to your private local network or Wi-Fi hotspot.
2. Information We Do NOT Collect
Because the software operates completely local-first, we collect zero personal data:
- No Personal Identifiable Information (PII): We do not require accounts, usernames, email addresses, phone numbers, or passwords to run the software.
- No Telemetry or Remote Analytics: The desktop software does not report usage telemetry, diagnostic telemetry, or crash logs back to any central or third-party servers.
- No Advertising Trackers or Cookies: Neither our website (
syut.in) nor our application contains third-party advertising SDKs, tracking pixels, or monetized data brokers.
- No Location or Biometric Data: The application does not collect, access, or log GPS coordinates or facial/biometric profiles.
3. Device Permissions & How They Are Used
The Syut application requests only the minimal technical permissions required for its local functionality:
- Local Network / Wi-Fi Access: Required to establish a direct local socket connection between your phone and the local receiver server running on your PC (default port
8083). This traffic never leaves your local Wi-Fi router or hotspot.
- Local File System Access: Required solely to read the files you deliberately select on your mobile device and write them directly into your designated PC folder or external storage drive.
- Camera Access (Mobile): Used strictly in real-time to optically scan the pairing QR code shown on your PC screen. Camera frames are processed strictly in volatile memory on-device and are never recorded, saved, or uploaded.
4. Global Privacy Law Compliance
Syut's zero-cloud architecture inherently complies with major international data protection frameworks:
- Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 (India - DPDP): Because Syut does not collect, process, or maintain custody of digital personal data on external systems, Syut does not act as a Data Fiduciary. Users retain complete digital sovereignty and legal custody over their personal records.
- General Data Protection Regulation (EU GDPR / UK GDPR): In strict adherence to Article 5(1)(c) (Data Minimisation) and Article 25 (Data Protection by Design and by Default), zero personal data is transferred across international borders.
- California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA / CPRA): We do not sell, share, rent, or trade consumer personal information. There is no personal information to opt-out of because no personal information is ever collected.
- Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA): Syut does not knowingly collect or solicit personal information from children under the age of 13 (or 16).
5. Free Software & Legal Disclaimers
Syut is currently provided to users completely free of charge. In consideration of this free distribution, the following legal provisions govern its use:
EXPRESS "AS IS" WARRANTY DISCLAIMER:
THE SOFTWARE, DOCUMENTATION, AND ASSOCIATED UTILITIES ARE PROVIDED STRICTLY ON AN "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" BASIS, WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT.
ABSOLUTE LIMITATION OF LIABILITY:
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL THE DEVELOPERS, CONTRIBUTORS, OR DISTRIBUTORS BE LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA, CORRUPTION OF FILES, HARDWARE DAMAGE, DRIVE HEAD FAILURES, OR LOSS OF BUSINESS PROFITS) ARISING FROM THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THIS APPLICATION.
6. User Safeguards & Best Practices
Because you retain 100% control of your physical storage hardware, you are solely responsible for:
- Maintaining redundant data copies in compliance with the standard 3-2-1 Backup Strategy (3 total copies, 2 different storage media types, 1 stored offsite).
- Ensuring that the media and files you transfer comply with all applicable local, national, and international laws.
- Safeguarding your local vault encryption passcodes and keys, as zero-cloud architecture means there is no central server capable of recovering lost encryption passwords.
