'SWIFTMOJI' FOR ANDROID PRIVACY POLICY

This is the privacy policy for the Swiftmoji for Android service (“Swiftmoji”) made available by TouchType Limited (“SwiftKey”). Specifically, this policy exists to inform you about the types of information we may receive, how we use that information, the measures we take to safeguard the information we receive, the choices you may make and certain legal rights that you have.

Where we refer to 'personal data' in this privacy policy we mean any data that may identify you as an individual.

Protecting your personal data and maintaining your trust is core to our mission at SwiftKey. We will not sell your personal data to third parties.

We receive different types of information from Swiftmoji, including anonymous device, network, performance and usage statistics. We use this data to debug and improve the functionality of the service.

In order to improve the quality of predictions provided by Swiftmoji we will, subject to you having opted in, also receive the words you type and the emoji you choose.

We may also receive your personal contact information contained in correspondence via our web sites and communications channels. This enables us to offer user support, beta testing communities, surveys, competitions and similar services.

Where a field has been flagged by a website or app as denoting a password field or payment information, Swiftmoji does not log, store or learn from this information.

We constantly review and challenge the procedures we have in place for data handling and data security and have internal systems and controls to ensure compliance.

Swiftmoji for Android uses SwiftKey Cloud in the same way as SwiftKey Keyboard.

If you are not logged into SwiftKey Cloud, language insights will not be transferred from your device. If you are logged into SwiftKey Cloud, these files will be automatically transferred over encrypted channels to our servers in order to enable our cloud-based services.

All data transferred by us between your device and our services is encrypted, including any personal data we may collect and store on your behalf. For more information about how we guard your data securely, please read our Data Security Statement.

The SwiftKey personalization service, which is a feature of SwiftKey Cloud, accesses your recent content from online services that you specify, such as Gmail, Facebook and Twitter. It uses this content to build a personalized language model on our servers, which is then transferred to your device. This is an optimized view of the words and phrases that you use most often, and reflects your unique writing style.

Your use of our personalization service means we may store and use data provided by you to develop and improve our Products. You have the right to have this data destroyed, as outlined below.

You may at any time withdraw your consent for our storage and use of personal data collected by any of our Products by going to the SwiftKey Cloud section in SwiftKey Settings. By withdrawing consent your personal data will be destroyed. It is important to note, however, that we will retain any transactional data relating to your purchase of the Products that we make available in order that such purchases can be reclaimed by you, should the need arise in the future. For further information on withdrawing your consent, please see the 'Withdrawing consent' section on our support site for SwiftKey Cloud.

If you have opted in, when you use a phrase with emoji in it in, the last 30 words or 300 characters (whichever is first) will be sent to our servers in order that we can predict relevant emoji.

We record the text and characters that you enter together with the emoji you select from our predictions, helping us to improve our service. The words and characters that you share with Swiftmoji contribute to our overall learning of how users select emoji.

You may encounter an alert when installing Swiftmoji on your device, warning that third-party keyboards may collect or log sensitive data such as passwords, credit card numbers or street addresses. Swiftmoji is designed not to receive, store or transmit any such sensitive data. For more information or help, please see our Android support pages.

You may receive occasional notifications on your device alerting you to product updates and features that may be of interest to you. You can disable these notifications in your Device Settings menu.

Except as stated in this privacy policy, we will not share your personal data with any third party unless you have given us permission. We may share anonymized data, where we have removed any personal data, with other parties.

We may share your information (including but not limited to, information from cookies, log files, device identifiers, learned language data/Language Modeling Data and statistics) with businesses that are legally part of the same group of companies as TouchType Limited, or that become part of that group ('Group Companies'). Group Companies may use this information to help provide, understand, and improve their products (including by providing analytics and data analysis) and Group Companies own services.

We may share your information (including but not limited to, information from cookies, log files, device identifiers, learned language data/Language Modeling Data and statistics) with third-party organizations that help us provide our products ('Service Providers') such as providers of hosting services or analytics tools. Our Service Providers will only be given access to your information as is reasonably necessary and under appropriate confidentiality terms.

Should you breach terms of use relating to Swiftmoji, or if we are under a duty to disclose any information to comply with a legal obligation, we may be forced to disclose your information to a relevant authority. Any disclosure of personal information will be made in accordance with European law and United Kingdom legislation, in particular the UK Data Protection Act 1998 ('the Act'). For the purpose of the Act, the data controller is TouchType Limited.

The UK Data Protection Act gives you a right to access personal data held by SwiftKey about you. If you wish to access this please send your request together with a check for £10 Sterling payable to TouchType Limited (to cover our administration costs in collating this information) to SwiftKey, 91-95 Southwark Bridge Road, London, SE1 0AX, UK.

If we sell or otherwise transfer part or the whole of SwiftKey or our assets to another organization (e.g., in the course of a transaction like a merger, acquisition, bankruptcy, dissolution or liquidation), information from or about our users may be among the items sold or transferred. However this will not affect your rights or our obligations under this privacy policy.

From time to time we may make changes to this privacy policy, which will be posted on our web sites and relevant communications channels. You are advised to check our web sites regularly to view our most recent privacy policy.
