Privacy Policy

Welcome to SWW Technologies (“we,” “our,” or “us”). We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring the confidentiality, integrity, and security of your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your data when you interact with our platform, products, or services.


1. Scope of this Policy

This policy applies to personal information collected directly by SWW Technologies from sub-merchants and, in certain cases, from their customers through our API services. It does not apply to data collected independently by sub-merchants, for which they are solely responsible.


2. Information We Collect

We only collect minimal personal data necessary for technical and operational purposes, including:

  • Customer Name

  • Customer Phone Number

Note: Sub-merchants may collect additional information (e.g., CNIC, email address, postal address, transaction history). SWW Technologies does not collect, store, or process such additional data. Customers should refer to the relevant sub-merchant’s privacy policy for details on their data handling practices.


3. Purpose of Data Collection

We collect and use this limited data solely to:

  • Operate and maintain our API-based services for sub-merchants

  • Ensure secure and uninterrupted transactional processes

  • Communicate with sub-merchants regarding API performance, incidents, or potential misuse

We do not use customer data for marketing, profiling, or resale purposes.


4. Data Sharing and Disclosure

We never sell, lease, or trade personal data. However, we may disclose limited information (name and phone number) in the following situations:

  • Legal Requirements: To comply with applicable laws, regulations, court orders, or lawful government requests.

  • Service Providers: To trusted third-party infrastructure or cybersecurity partners under strict confidentiality obligations.

  • Compliance and Security: When necessary to protect our systems or meet legal compliance obligations.

Sub-merchants are expected to ensure the lawful and secure handling of their customer data, in line with relevant data protection laws.


5. Data Security

We use industry-standard and regulatory-compliant measures to protect personal information, including:

  • End-to-end encryption for API communications

  • Role-based access controls and authentication protocols

  • Secure storage systems

  • Routine security audits and infrastructure hardening

While we take every reasonable step to safeguard data, users acknowledge that no internet transmission is 100% secure.


6. User Rights

Individuals whose data (name and phone number) is collected by SWW Technologies may request:

  • Access to their stored data

  • Correction of inaccurate data

  • Deletion of their data, subject to legal retention requirements

To exercise these rights, contact us using the details provided below. For data collected directly by sub-merchants, please contact the relevant merchant.


7. Sub-Merchant Obligations

Sub-merchants using SWW Technologies APIs and infrastructure must:

  • Collect and process data in compliance with applicable laws (e.g., PECA 2016, GDPR where relevant)

  • Maintain their own up-to-date privacy policy

  • Clearly disclose their data collection and use practices to customers

  • Implement appropriate security measures to prevent unauthorized access or misuse

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate API access if these obligations are breached.


8. Data Retention

We retain minimal customer information only for as long as necessary to:

  • Fulfill the operational purpose for which it was collected

  • Meet legal, regulatory, or contractual obligations

  • Detect or investigate fraud or abuse (if applicable)

Once the retention period ends, data is securely deleted or anonymized.


9. Changes to this Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any significant changes will be communicated via email or posted on our platform. The “Effective Date” will be updated accordingly. Continued use of our services after such changes constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
