How we collect, use,
and protect your data

Effective Date: January 1, 2024

Swirepay ("we," "us," or "our") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our website or use our payment processing services. Please read this policy carefully. If you disagree with its terms, please discontinue use of our services.

Like many websites, Swirepay automatically collects certain information when you access our platform. Log file data may include your IP address, browser type, Internet Service Provider (ISP), referring and exit pages, operating system, date and time stamps, and click-stream data. This information is used to analyze trends, administer the site, track user movements, and gather broad demographic information. IP addresses are not linked to personally identifiable information.

Cookies and Web Beacons

We use cookies — small text files stored on your device — to enhance your experience on our platform. Cookies allow us to recognize your browser, remember your preferences, and improve our services. We may also use web beacons (clear GIFs) in our emails to track open rates and interactions.

You may choose to disable cookies through your browser settings. However, please note that some features of the Swirepay platform may not function properly if cookies are disabled.

Data Security

Swirepay employs industry-standard security measures including TLS encryption in transit, AES-256 encryption at rest, and SOC 2 Type II–audited infrastructure. We are PCI-DSS Level 1 certified. While we take every reasonable precaution, no method of electronic transmission or storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Children's Privacy

Our services are not directed to individuals under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from minors. If we become aware that a child under 18 has provided us with personal information, we will delete it promptly. If you believe we have inadvertently collected such information, please contact us immediately.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Effective Date" at the top of this page and, where appropriate, notify you by email or through a prominent notice on our website.
