Swivel may match aggregated user information with third party data. Also, We may disclose aggregated user statistics in order to describe our services to potential advertisers, partners and other third parties, and for other lawful purposes.

It should be noted, however, that this Privacy Policy only addresses the use and dissemination of information that We collect from You. To the extent that You disclose any information to other parties, through other web sites on the Internet linked to the Site, different policies may apply. Since Swivel Secure does not control the privacy policies of third parties, You are subject to the privacy customs and policies, if any, of that third party, and Swivel Secure shall not be responsible for the use or dissemination of Your Personal information by that third party.

Therefore, We encourage You to ask questions before You disclose Your Personal Information to others.

Transferring Your Personal Information outside of the EEA

To deliver services to You, it is sometimes necessary for Us to share your Personal Information outside the European Economic Area (EEA), for example with Our resellers located outside of the EEA. These transfers are subject to special rules under European and UK data protection law. These non-EEA countries do not have the same data protection laws as the United Kingdom and EEA. If you would like further information regarding the mechanisms We use to comply with data protection law, please contact Us.

Storage and Transfer of Your Personal Information

Your Personal Information is stored in either Microsoft Offce 365, our CRM (SalesForce) and Our support software program (Team Support). Access to these systems is limited to registered technology, which must be registered with our Mobile Device Management system. This allows Us to remotely block or wipe the device where your Personal Information is stored should it be lost or stolen.
We also hold physical records containing Personal Information, which are protected by being stored in locked cabinets and by access being limited to authorised personnel only. We also operate a clear desk policy to assist in protecting Personal Information.
