Overview
Syntonym is an AI data privacy solutions provider for P&C and Specialty insurers and solutions providers that build or operate camera-based AI systems. The company's software replaces personally identifiable visual elements -- faces and license plates -- with generative AI-synthesized equivalents that preserve the analytical attributes needed for AI model training and inference, such as gaze direction, head pose, facial expressions, age group, and gender.
The platform is delivered as a REST-based cloud API, a private cloud or VPC deployment, and an edge SDK for embedded low-latency processing. This privacy-by-design architecture addresses GDPR, CCPA, PIPL, APPI, and PDPL compliance requirements by removing personal data at the point of capture rather than applying post-processing obfuscation.
Founded in 2019 by Batuhan Ozcan and Emre Cavunt, Syntonym has raised USD 1.54M across multiple seed rounds from 13 investors including Alchemy, Simya, and the Technology and Innovation Fund. Primary customer segments include automotive OEMs building ADAS systems, robotics and physical AI developers, and smart device manufacturers with onboard camera systems.
