# Privacy & consent

> Your own privacy choices in Synapse. What you've agreed to, where your human state can go, your AI tool matches, and erasing your data

**Privacy & consent**, under **You → Your setup** at [synapse.synheart.ai](https://synapse.synheart.ai), shows what you've agreed to and where your numbers go. Every choice on it is yours alone: nobody else, including a manager, admin or owner, can make it for you.

For the settings your organization controls, such as the cohort floor, see [Team views and privacy](https://docs.synheart.ai/synapse/team-views.md).

## Your consent

Your human state comes from **Life by Synheart**. Consent to share it is managed in the Life app, not in Synapse.

* If you haven't connected Life yet, choose **Connect in My connections**.
* After changing your consent in Life, choose **Check consent again** so Synapse picks up the change.

Without Life, Synapse still works for you. It just has no human state about you.

## Where your human state can go

| Where | What's shown |
| - | - |
| **You** | Only you can open [My Effectiveness](https://docs.synheart.ai/synapse/my-effectiveness.md) and [Agent checks](https://docs.synheart.ai/synapse/agents.md). Always private. |
| **Your department** | Your human state counts in your department's totals, only above the [cohort floor](https://docs.synheart.ai/synapse/team-views.md#the-cohort-floor). |
| **Your organization** | Protected human-state summaries only. Work and AI activity can still be shown when few people contribute, because it isn't about your state. |

Nobody sees your human state on its own, in any view, whatever their role.

### Share my human state

If your team is smaller than the cohort floor, it sees no team human state. **Share my human state** lets it see its own view, but only once every member of the team has turned it on. Turning it off takes effect at once and needs no reason. See [Share my numbers with my team](https://docs.synheart.ai/synapse/team-views.md#share-my-numbers-with-my-team) for exactly who sees what.

> [!WARNING]
>
> Turning sharing off stops future sharing only. Numbers already sent in an export or digest can't be recalled.

## Your AI tool matches

If your organization has turned on work email matching, Synapse may have matched you to your account in an AI tool's usage report, by the work email you verified, so that usage counts as yours. Each match is listed here, and you can **stop the match** at any time.

## Erasing your data

**Erase my Synapse personal data** removes your linked accounts and AI tool data in this organization. You don't need a seat to do it, and it works after your organization's subscription has lapsed.

It can't be undone. The erase is recorded in the organization's [audit log](https://docs.synheart.ai/synapse/audit-log.md), where you show as **Erased user**.

## Who can do what

| Action | Who |
| - | - |
| Open Privacy & consent | Every member of the organization, with or without a seat |
| Share or stop sharing your human state with your team | You, for yourself only |
| Stop an AI tool match | You, for your own matches |
| Erase your own Synapse data | You |
