This Privacy Policy explains what information swiftimg ("we", "us") collects when you use our website and image-hosting service (the "Service"), how we use it, and the choices you have. By using the Service you agree to the practices described here.
Information we collect
- Account information. If you create an account, we store your email address and a securely hashed password. We never store your password in plain text.
- Content you upload. Images, GIFs, titles, tags, and gallery settings you submit. Public uploads are accessible to anyone with the link; private galleries are restricted as you configure them.
- Usage and device data. When you visit, we automatically receive standard request data such as your IP address, browser type, referring page, and the pages you view. This is used for security, abuse prevention, and aggregate analytics.
- Payment information. If you purchase a paid plan, billing is handled by our payment processor (Stripe). We receive a customer reference and subscription status, but we never see or store your full card details.
How we use information
- To operate, maintain, and improve the Service.
- To process uploads and serve your content quickly.
- To manage accounts, plans, and billing.
- To detect, prevent, and respond to abuse, fraud, illegal content, and security issues.
- To respond to your requests and support inquiries.
Cookies and similar technologies
We use a small number of cookies that are essential to the Service — for example, to keep you signed in and to enforce rate limits. We use privacy-friendly, aggregate analytics to understand traffic; it does not build advertising profiles of you.
Advertising
We show ads to non-paying visitors on some content pages. These ads are served by Google, a third-party vendor. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites.
- Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to this site and/or other sites on the Internet.
- You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.
- You can opt out of a third-party vendor's use of cookies for personalized advertising at aboutads.info.
- Paid plans are entirely ad-free.
How we share information
We do not sell your personal information. We share data only with service providers that help us run the Service (such as our payment processor and advertising partner described above), when required by law, or to protect the rights, safety, and property of swiftimg, our users, or the public.
Data retention and deletion
We retain account data for as long as your account is active. You can delete individual uploads at any time, and you may request deletion of your account and associated content by contacting us. Some records may be retained where required for legal, billing, or security purposes.
Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, export, or delete your personal information, and to object to or restrict certain processing. To exercise these rights, contact us at the address below.
Children
The Service is not directed to children under 13 (or the minimum age in your jurisdiction), and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Policy from time to time. We will revise the "Last updated" date above when we do. Continued use of the Service after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated Policy.
