What we do

How does Synchrony Bank protect my

personal information?

To protect your personal information from unauthorized access and use, we use security measures that comply with federal law. These measures include computer safeguards and secured files and buildings.

How does Synchrony Bank collect my personal information?

We collect your personal information, for example, when you

 

  • open an account or give us your contact information
  • provide account information or pay your bills
