There are three basic categories of information we collect:

• Information you provide to us.


• Information we get when you use our Services.


• Information we get from third parties.

Here’s a little more detail on each of these categories.

We collect information that you provide to us directly. This includes when you sign up for an account, provide your social media handle, respond to a survey, give us feedback about the App, or contact us with questions or comments about the App.

We respect your privacy and will never ask for sensitive information such as government identifiers, medical information, or financial information. Please do not provide this information to us through e-mails, feedback forms, or in any other way unless we specifically request it from you.

Information We Get When You Use Our Services

When you use our Services, we collect information on your usage of the Services. Below is a more detailed explanation of the type of information we may collect:

Keeping your information private and secure is of our utmost importance. We take deep measures to ensure that we only collect information that you explicitly give us permission to.

If so, you are encouraged to deny giving us permission. You also have the ability to delete any information you have given us from our servers; for example, if you have given us permission to your Contacts, but no longer wish to have them stored on our servers, let us know at [email protected].

VI. Cookies and Beacons

We may use cookies, beacons, and similar technologies, now or in the future, to support the functionality of our App. This provides a better experience when you visit our App and allows us to improve our App. Our service providers may use cookies and beacons to collect and share Non-information about your activities both on our App and on other websites. In addition, third parties that are unaffiliated with us may also collect information about you, including tracking your browsing history, when you use our App. We do not have control over these third-party collection practices. If you wish to minimize these third-party collections, you can adjust the settings of your browsers or install plug-ins and add-ins.

That cookie then communicates with servers, ours or those of other companies that we authorize to collect data for us, and allows recognition of your personal computer. We do not collect information from browser cookies and we do not associate browser cookies with your information. You may use the tools available on your computer or other devices to set your browser to refuse or disable all or some browser cookies, or to alert you when cookies are being sent. However, if you refuse or disable all browser cookies, you may be unable to access certain parts or use certain features or functionality of our App. Unless you have adjusted your browser settings so that it refuses all cookies, we may use cookies when you direct your browser to our App.

To learn more about cookies, you can visit http://www.allaboutcookies.org.

• Flash Cookies. Certain features of our App may use local stored objects called flash cookies to collect and store information about your preferences and navigation to, from, and on our App. The cookies do not identify you as an individual or track your online behavior. We do not collect information from flash cookies and we will not associate them with your information. Flash cookies are not managed by the same browser settings as are used for browser cookies. To learn how you can manage your Flash cookie settings, visit the Flash player settings page on Adobe’s website. If you disable or refuse Flash cookies, please note that some parts of our App may be inaccessible or may not function properly.
• Beacons. Our App and e-mails may contain small electronic files known as beacons (also referred to as web beacons, clear GIFs, pixel tags, and single-pixel GIFs) that permit us to, for example, count Users who have visited those pages or opened an e-mail and for other website-related statistics. Beacons in e-mail marketing campaigns allow us to track your responses and your interests in our content, offerings, and web pages. You may use the tools in your device to disable these technologies as well.

VII. Your Choices

We offer you certain choices in connection with the information we collect from you.

Email Communications

You may have the opportunity to receive certain communications from us related to our App. If you provide us with your e-mail address in order to receive communications, you can opt-out of marketing e-mails at any time by following the instructions at the bottom of our e-mails and adjusting your e-mail preferences. Please note that certain e-mails may be necessary for the operation of our App. You will continue to receive these e-mails, if appropriate, even if you unsubscribe from our optional communications.

Cookies/ Beacons

If you wish to minimize information collected by cookie or beacon, you can adjust the settings of your browsers to notify you when you receive a cookie, which lets you choose whether or not to accept it. You can also set your browser to automatically reject any cookies. You may also be able to install plug-ins and add-ins that serve similar functions. However, please be aware that some features and services on our App may not work properly if we are not able to recognize and associate you with your account. In addition, the offers we provide when you visit us may not be as relevant to you or tailored to your interests.

Do Not Track

Some browsers support a “Do Not Track” (or, DNT) feature, a privacy preference that Users can set in certain web browsers, which is intended to be a signal to websites and services that you do not wish to be tracked across different websites or online services you visit. Our App does not currently recognize or respond to DNT signals, so DNT settings do not change the way the App operates.

Please note that we cannot control how third-party websites or online services you visit through our App respond to Do Not Track signals. Check the privacy policies of those third parties for information on their privacy practices.

Text Alerts

You may have the opportunity to receive certain information, updates, and/or offers from us via text communications. If you provide us with your mobile number in order to receive such communications, you can opt out of receiving text messages at any time by texting STOP in response to a text from us.

Updating or Deleting Information

The accuracy of the information we have about you is very important. To review, correct, or delete your information, please contact us at [email protected].

VIII. Securing Your Information

The security of your information is important to Swipr, and we have established administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect your information against unauthorized alteration, access, loss, theft, use, or disclosure. Unfortunately, no system can guarantee the complete security of your information. As a result, Swipr cannot ensure or warrant that your information, including your information, is secure from unauthorized third parties. Thus, your use of the App and communication with us about them is at your own risk.

You are responsible for protecting your username and password(s) and for the security of information that you transmit to us over the internet.

If you have reason to believe that your interaction with the App is no longer secure (for example, if you feel that the security of your username or password has been compromised), you must immediately notify us of the problem by contacting us.

IX. Children

Our App is directed to and is intended to be used only by persons who are 17 years of age or older. We do not knowingly collect information from children under 18. If you are under 17 years of age, you are not permitted to register for an account or otherwise submit any information to us, including your name, address, or e-mail address. If we discover that we have collected any information from a child under the age of 17, we will suspend the associated account and remove that information from our database as soon as possible. By registering for an account or submitting any information to us, you represent and warrant that you are 17 years of age or older.

X. Retention of Personal Information

We retain your personal information only for as long as is necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected and processed, by our retention policies, and by applicable laws or until you withdraw your consent (where applicable).

To determine the appropriate retention period for your personal information, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal information, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of your personal information, the purposes for which we use your personal information and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements.

XI. Links to Third-Party Websites

Our App may contain links to third-party websites and services, including those of our partner networks. Please note that these links are provided for your convenience and information, and the websites and services may operate independently from us and have their own privacy policies or notices, which we strongly suggest you review. This Privacy Policy applies to Swipr and our App only. We do not accept any responsibility or liability for the policies or practices of any third parties. If you choose to access any websites or services from our App, please check the applicable policies before you use or submit any personal data to such website or service.

XII. Changes to Our Privacy Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify You of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page.

We will let You know via email and/or a prominent notice on Our Service, prior to the change becoming effective and update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this Privacy Policy.
