Privacy Policy

At SWAKcards.com, we have a firm commitment to protecting your privacy and security as our users. For this reason, we have adopted the following policy to advise you of your choices regarding the use of your personal information online. This policy describes what types of information we gather about you, how we use it, under what circumstances we disclose it to third-parties, and your rights to update or correct it.

Aggregate Data

We gather certain generic information with respect to the use of our web site, such as the number of unique visitors, the frequency with which they visit. We look at the data on a collective basis, in summary form, rather than on an individual basis.

Cookies

Cookies are pieces of information or data sent to your browser from a web server and stored on your computer’s hard drive for record-keeping purposes. We use cookies to make your visit to our web site easier. For example, cookies allow us to recognize you when you re-enter our web site so that you will not have to sign-in each time you visit. Most browsers are set up to accept cookies. If you prefer, you can reset your browser to notify you when you’ve received a cookie or, alternatively, to refuse to accept cookies. It is important to note that you may not be able to use certain features on our website if you choose not to accept cookies.

IP Addresses

We collect and analyze traffic on our web site by keeping track of the IP addresses of our visitors. IP addresses are unique numeric identifiers that are assigned to each computer browser accessing the Internet. An IP address, by itself, cannot identify you personally. However, when combined with other information provided by your Internet Service Provider (ISP), your IP address can be used to identify the computer originating a message.

Personal information that we collect about Businesses and staff

We collect personal information about Businesses and their staff in order for Businesses to take full advantage of the Service. This includes but is not limited to staff names, email addresses, business address, telephone numbers and availability. You may access this information at any time by logging in to your account.

Personal information that we collect about Customers

We collect personal information about Customers in order for Customers to take full advantage of the service. This information includes but is not limited to names, email addresses, and telephone numbers, and other personal information as required by the Business that the Customer intends to do business with. This personal information will be transferred to the intended Business and its staff.

We may also collect credit card details and billing address on behalf of the Business. These credit card details are securely transmitted to a selected third party (payment gateway) for the sole purpose of processing payments on behalf of the Business. The credit card details of a Customer are never shown in full to a Business or its staff. The payment gateway is responsible for securely storing such credit card details and for limiting their access to authorized users.

We do not store credit card details in our Site or in any facility operated by us.

Communications from SWAKcards.com

We send to all of our users our exclusive SWAKcards.com Newsletter, which alerts you to new features, content, and services available on our site.

These communications are sent to you directly by SWAKcards.com. We do not share your personally identifiable information with any third parties in connection with the Newsletter.

Disclosure Exceptions

Notwithstanding the above policies, we reserve the right to disclose your personal information to appropriate third-parties if we are required to do so by law or we believe that such action is necessary:

To comply with legal process such as a search warrant or court order;
To protect the company’s rights and property;
To investigate reports of users sending material using a false e-mail address or users sending harassing, threatening, or abusive messages;
To protect against misuse or unauthorized use of our web site and/or the SWAKcards.com service; or
During emergencies, such as when we believe someone’s physical safety is at risk.

Under certain circumstances, recipients, their legal representatives, and/or law enforcement authorities may be able to combine this with information disclosed by ISPs to determine the source of a particular communication. By using this service, you knowingly and voluntarily assume any risks associated with such disclosure.
