# Why do I See Frequent Notifications About Data Sync?

By default, the Agent App shows a **summary notification** on the Android status bar each time data is sent (synced) from the device to the server.

#### Why is this required?

* **Transparency:** According to our policy, users must be clearly informed whenever the app syncs their device data.
* **User control:** The notification helps you stay aware of when and how often data is being transmitted.
* **Trust & compliance:** Displaying sync activity notifications ensures that the app is fully transparent and complies with privacy and data-handling requirements.

#### Can I turn it off?

Yes. If you prefer not to see these notifications, you can disable them in the app settings:

1. Open the Agent App.
2. Go to **More → Device Settings → Sync Data Settings**.
3. Find the option **Show summary notification after sync**.
4. Toggle it **off** to stop receiving these notifications.

#### Important note

Turning off this option will only **hide the notification** from your status bar. Data syncing will still continue in the background as usual, based on your configured settings.
