Information You Provide

Information You Provide

When you interact with our services, we collect information that you provide to us. For example, when you set up an account, we only collect a very small amount of information this includes your username, password, email address. We may also choose to upload a profile picture that other users can see.


Of course, you’ll also provide us whatever information you send through our services, such as videos and images. The users who view your Swayz’s, and any other content can always save that content or copy it outside the app. So, the same common sense that applies to the internet at large applies to our services as well: Don’t send messages or share content that you wouldn’t want someone to save or share.

Information We Get When You Use Our Services

Information We Get When You Use Our Services

When you use our services, we collect information about which of those services you’ve used and how you’ve used them. For instance, that you watched a certain amount of Swayz videos, sent a particular amount of Swayz’s, and the amount of messages sent. This also includes:


  • Device Information. We collect information from and about the devices you use. For example, we collect:

  • Information about your hardware and software

  • Information from device sensors, such as accelerometers, gyroscopes, compasses, microphones.

  • Camera, Photos, and Audio. Many of our services require us to collect images and other information from your device’s camera and photos. For example, you won’t be able to send a Swayz unless we can access your camera or photos.

  • Face Data. Face data is used to be able to place filters on you when you interact with Swayz. This data is stored on Firebase Servers so you can send it to other users in the form of a video. Videos will be stored until you delete your account, so you can keep viewing them. We do not share your data with any third parties.

  • Information Collected by Cookies and Other Technologies. Like most online services and mobile applications, we may use cookies and other technologies, such as web beacons, and web storage, to collect information about your activity, and device. Most web browsers are set to accept cookies by default. If you prefer, you can usually remove or reject browser cookies through the settings on your browser or device. Keep in mind, though, that removing or rejecting cookies could affect the availability and functionality of our services.
