Privacy policy

Edited 19.05.2022

What does swipe do?

Swipe is the launchpad to your video, article, recipe, tour, store, website, social post, and other content. Our Website located at https://swipe.vg («Site») allows individuals and businesses to sign-up to swipe to create a personalised, easily-customisable page.

The pages that the Users are able to create using our Service are referred to in this Privacy Policy as «User Profiles». User Profiles are accessible by the public.

How does this Privacy Policy apply to me?

individuals that visit and interact with User Profiles («Profile Visitor»);
individuals who respond to our surveys, marketing materials or participate in trade promotions or competitions that we may run from time to time.

This Privacy Policy, applies to the processing of personal information by swipe as a controller. When we talk about swipe acting as a «controller», we mean that swipe determines the purpose and the means of the processing (i.e. we make decisions about how we will handle your personal information). Because of the nature of our services, we can also act as a «processor» on behalf of Swipe Users. This means that, when we are instructed by an Swipe User, we can facilitate processing of Profile Visitors personal information on behalf of that Swipe User («Processor Services»). This Privacy Policy does not address Processor Services. If you are a Profile Visitor, and want to know how an Swipe User handles your personal information, please get in touch with the Swipe User directly and/or refer to any Privacy Policy on the relevant User Profile.

If you provide us with information about another person (if, for example, you are a representative of an individual), you must provide them with a copy of this Privacy Policy and let that other person know that we use their personal information in the ways set out in this Privacy Policy.

What personal information do we collect?

The personal information that we may collect about you broadly falls into the following categories:

Information you provide voluntarily

You may also provide us with your personal data when you submit queries or make a report to us. For example, we may ask you to provide your name and email address so that we can respond to your queries.

If you are a Profile Visitor, a User might request that you provide your email address, mobile number, date of birth or age, or other personal information in order to access elements of a User Profile (such as locked content). We may use the results of such access (i.e. successful or unsuccessful access attempts) to produce aggregated statistics for our own internal purposes and to improve the swipe Services.

You may also provide personal information voluntarily if you respond to our surveys, marketing materials, or through your participation in trade promotions and competitions we may run from time to time.

Legal basis for processing personal information

Our legal basis for collecting and using personal information described above will depend on the personal information concerned and the specific circumstances in which we collect it.

However, we will normally collect personal information from you only where we have your consent, where we need the personal information to perform a contract with you, or where the processing is in our legitimate interests and not overridden by your data protection interests or fundamental rights and freedoms. In some cases, we may also have a legal obligation to collect personal information from you, or may otherwise need the personal information to protect your vital interests or those of another person.

If we ask you to provide personal information to comply with a legal requirement we will make this clear at the relevant time and advise you whether the provision of your personal information is mandatory or not (as well as of the possible consequences if you do not provide your personal information). As indicated above, we require certain personal information to enter into a contract with you as an Swipe User. Without your personal information, we will be unable to provide you with swipe Services available to the Users.

If we collect and use your personal information in reliance on our legitimate interests (or those of any third party), this interest will normally be to develop and improve the swipe Services, to provide additional functionality, to ensure appropriate security or to implement sensitive content warnings and content moderation. We may have other legitimate interests, and if appropriate, we will make clear to you at the relevant time what those legitimate interests are.

Who may we disclose your personal information to?

We may disclose your personal information to the following categories of recipients:

to any competent law enforcement body, regulatory, government agency, court or other third party where we believe disclosure is necessary (i) as a matter of applicable law or regulation, (ii) to exercise, establish or defend our legal rights, or (iii) to protect your vital interests or those of any other person;
to an actual or potential buyer (and its agents and advisers) in connection with any actual or proposed purchase, merger or acquisition of any part of our business, provided that we inform the buyer it must use your personal information only for the purposes disclosed in this Privacy Policy; and
to any other person with your consent to the disclosure.

In order to facilitate paid products and/or services within the swipe Service, we use third party payment processors. We will not store or collect your payment card details. That information is provided directly to our third party payment processors whose use of your personal information is governed by their privacy policies and their own terms and conditions. These payment processors adhere to the standards set by payment card industry data security standards («PCI-DSS») as managed by the Payment Card Industry Security Standards Council, which is a joint effort of brands like Visa, Mastercard, American Express and Discover. PCI-DSS requirements help ensure the secure handling of payment information.

Disclosure of personal information to other countries

Your personal information may be transferred to, and processed in, countries other than the country in which you are a resident. These countries may have data protection laws that are different to the laws of your country (and, in some cases, may not be as protective).

How do we use cookies and similar tracking technology?

We use cookies and similar tracking technology (collectively, «Cookies») to collect and use personal information about you.

How long do we retain your personal information?

We will retain your personal information for the period necessary to fulfil the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy and in each case in accordance with applicable legal and regulatory requirements in respect of permitted or required retention periods and limitation periods relevant to legal action.

How do we secure your personal information?

We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal information from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered or disclosed.

While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security. Therefore, we have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected personal information breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a breach where we are legally required to do so.
