Privacy Policy
Last updated: October 3, 2026
Swappace is a simple online tool for transferring files between devices. This Privacy Policy explains what information may be collected when you use Swappace, how it is used, and what happens to the files you transfer.
We try to keep the information we collect limited to what is needed to operate, protect, and improve the service.
Information we collect
Files you transfer
When you use Swappace to send files, those files are temporarily uploaded to the storage infrastructure used by the service so they can be accessed by the receiving device.
Swappace is designed for temporary transfers rather than permanent file storage. Files are automatically removed according to the transfer's expiration and download rules.
Transfer information
Swappace needs some basic information to create and operate a transfer. This may include a temporary transfer identifier, file information, transfer status, creation and expiration times, and download status.
This information allows us to make the transfer work, show available files to the receiving device, enforce expiration rules, and clean up temporary data.
Technical information
When you use Swappace, certain technical information may be processed automatically. This can include information such as your IP address, browser or device information, and basic request information.
This information may be used to operate the service, prevent abuse, troubleshoot problems, and maintain the reliability and security of Swappace.
Information you send to us
If you contact us, we receive the information you choose to provide, such as your email address and the contents of your message.
We use this information to respond to your request and provide support.
How we use information
Information handled by Swappace may be used to:
- operate the file-transfer service;
- create and manage temporary transfers;
- make transferred files available to the receiving device;
- enforce file and transfer expiration;
- remove temporary files and transfer data;
- prevent abuse and unauthorized use;
- identify and fix technical problems;
- respond to support requests; and
- improve the reliability and functionality of Swappace.
Temporary file storage
Swappace is a transfer tool, not a permanent file-storage service. Files are kept temporarily so that they can be transferred between devices.
When a file is downloaded, it is automatically removed according to the service's temporary-transfer rules. Files that are not downloaded are also automatically removed when the relevant transfer expires.
Because transfers are temporary, you should not use Swappace as the only copy of an important file.
How we share information
We do not sell your personal information.
Swappace uses third-party services and infrastructure to operate parts of the service. These providers may process information on our behalf where necessary to provide services such as hosting, storage, infrastructure, security, analytics, or advertising.
We may also disclose information when reasonably necessary to comply with applicable law, respond to a valid legal request, prevent abuse, or protect Swappace, its users, or others.
Cookies and advertising
Swappace or third-party services used on the website may use cookies or similar technologies to keep the website working, understand how the service is used, improve the website, or support advertising.
If advertising is displayed on Swappace, advertising providers may use cookies, identifiers, or similar technologies to serve and measure advertisements.
For example, Google and its advertising partners may use cookies or similar technologies when Google advertising services are used on the website.
You can manage Google's advertising preferences through Google Ads Settings.
You can also control cookies through your browser settings. Some website features may not work correctly if certain cookies are disabled.
Third-party services
Swappace may use third-party services to provide hosting, file storage, infrastructure, analytics, security, advertising, and other technical functions required to operate the website.
These services may process information according to their own privacy policies and terms.
Security
We take reasonable measures to protect information handled by Swappace. Files are stored using private storage infrastructure, and downloads use temporary access links rather than permanent public file URLs.
However, no online service can guarantee complete security. You should avoid transferring information through Swappace if you are not comfortable sending it through an online service.
Your choices and privacy rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights concerning your personal information. These may include rights to request access, correction, deletion, or information about how your information is used.
If you have a privacy-related request or question, please contact us through our Contact page.
Because Swappace does not require an account for normal use and uses temporary transfers, there may be situations where we cannot identify information associated with a particular person without additional information from you.
Children's privacy
Swappace is not intended to knowingly collect personal information from children where doing so would be prohibited by applicable law.
If you believe that a child has provided personal information to us, please contact us so we can review the situation.
Changes to this Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy when Swappace changes or when our privacy practices or legal requirements change.
When we make changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page.
