Any other information about the User when the User signs up to use our Services or website, and when the User uses the Services or website, as well as information related to how the User uses our Services or website; and Aggregate data on content the User engages with.
You are under no obligation to provide the information to us.

Further information on opting out can be found in the section below entitled "Swifty Opt-Out".

Our Services offer features that allow users to connect and communicate in in-app with each other to complete a transaction. To avoid potential of scams, misleading, overclaims or being confused in using the platform, Swifty actively monitors all conversations within the Swifty in-app chat. Such information may remain available on our Services after your Account has been deactivated, terminated, or otherwise closed. You are responsible for the information you choose to share on Swifty.
We may use the information collected and received from you for the following purposes:
The security of your information is important to us. We have security measures to protect against the loss, misuse and alteration of the information under our control. We also follow generally accepted industry standards to protect the information transmitted to us over the Internet, both during transmission and once we receive it. However, no transmission method over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure. Therefore, while we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
It is crucial that you protect against unauthorised access to your Account and information by choosing your password carefully and keeping your password and Account secure (e.g., signing out after using our Services) and not sharing your OTP verification with anyone else, including Swifty.
Accessing and updating your information You may access and update certain information within our Services through your Account's "Settings" page.
Where you provide personal information about yourself to us, you are responsible for providing accurate, not misleading, complete and up-to-date information about yourself and any other person whose personal information you provide us, and for updating this personal information as and when it becomes inaccurate, misleading, incomplete or out-of-date.
In certain circumstances, you may need to provide us with personal information about someone other than yourself. If so, we rely on you to inform these individuals that you are providing their personal information to Swifty, to make sure they consent to you giving us their information and to advise them about where they can find a copy of this Privacy Policy.
Tracking technologies
We use tracking technologies on our Services. These enable us to understand how you use our Services, which helps us provide and improve our Services. However, the tracking technologies do not access, receive or collect information that can be used to identify you. We have listed below some examples of the tracking technologies used on our Services:
Cookies
A cookie is a small data file sent from a website to your browser stored on your device. Cookies are used for several purposes, including to display the most appropriate content based on your interests and activity on our Services, estimate and report our Service's total audience size and traffic, and conduct research to improve our Services. You can configure your device's settings to reflect your preference to accept or reject cookies. If you reject all cookies, you will not be able to take full advantage of our Services.
Pixels
We may, from time to time, use specific Facebook Business Tools such as the Facebook Pixel. This tool allows Swifty to keep track of what users do after they see or click on a Facebook advertisement and monitor the effectiveness of Facebook ads for statistics and market research purposes. Swifty will be able to understand better and deliver ads and make them more relevant to you. The collected data remains anonymous, and Swifty cannot see the personal data of any individual user.
However, the collected data is saved and processed by Facebook. Facebook may connect the data with your Facebook account and use the data for their advertising purposes and per Facebook's Data Use Policy. Facebook has ultimate control of the information gathered through the Facebook Business Tools and communications. You can opt-out of Facebook's use of cookies and Facebook Pixel through your Facebook Account settings or withdraw your consent here.
Flash cookies. We use Flash cookies (a.k.a local shared objects or LSOs) to store some of your viewing preferences on our Services. These are used to collect and store information but differ from browser cookies in the amount, type and manner in which data is stored.
We may deliver personalised or targeted advertisements (each, a "Targeted Ad") to you in the course of your use of our Services or through a variety of advertising networks and exchanges. You may opt-out of behavioural tracking or interest-based advertising through our platforms by sending an email to hello@swifty.my. Please note that if you choose to "opt-out", we will not use the information we have collected about you to deliver Targeted Ads, but it does not opt you out of seeing advertisements. You will still see generic, non-targeted ads which are served without the use of any information we have collected about you. You may even be served advertisements for other reasons, such as:
Personalised or targeted advertisements from other third parties and not delivered by Swifty through your mobile or web activities. Please also note that even though Swifty does not share your personal data (other than hashed or device identifiers, to the extent they are personal data in some countries) with any advertising networks and exchanges without your consent or unless as specified in this Privacy Policy, when you view or interact with an advertisement via any of your devices, an advertiser or advertising network or exchanges can infer that you are within their target audience; or when you click on an advertisement, the publisher or advertiser will know you visited the page that you clicked on and may still be able to associate personal data collected by such third parties directly from you through their cookies and similar tracking technologies.
We reserve the right to make changes to this Privacy Policy at any time, and all changes will be posted here. If we believe that the changes are material, we will notify you of the changes by posting a notice on our Services or by email. You are responsible for reviewing the changes which we make in this Privacy Policy. Your continued use of our Services constitutes your acceptance of the updated Privacy Policy.
From time to time, our Services may contain links to external sites or resources that third parties operate. We have no control over the content and privacy practices of such sites or resources. You are advised to review these sites' privacy policies and resources operated by third parties and understand how those third parties may use your information.
If you have any questions, complaints, concerns or comments on our Privacy Policy, we welcome you to contact us through live chat or sending an email to hello@swifty.my. Your indication at the subject header would help us attend to your email speedily by passing it on to the relevant staff in our organisation.
