Privacy Policy

Last updated December 31, 2025

1. Introduction

This Privacy Notice for Colourswift Limited (“we,” “us,” or “our”) explains how we collect, use, and protect your personal information when you use our services (“Services”), including our website, mobile applications, and cloud services.

If you do not agree with this Privacy Policy, please discontinue use of our Services. If you have questions, contact us at support@colourswift.com.

1.1 Disclaimer for ColourSwift Security

ColourSwift Security provides antivirus protection through a combination of on-device scanning and cloud-assisted threat intelligence. All file analysis and scanning logic execute locally on device. No file contents, metadata, or scan results are uploaded to or stored on ColourSwift servers.

When enabled, realtime protection uses cloud-based threat intelligence to improve detection accuracy. This process involves submitting cryptographic file hashes for threat lookup purposes only. Hash lookups do not include file contents and are not used for profiling, analytics, or tracking.

Manual scans may be performed without using cloud-based threat intelligence. When cloud lookups are disabled for manual scanning, all detection is performed entirely on-device.

The app may request permissions such as storage access or notification access solely to enable local scanning and realtime protection. These permissions are never used for analytics, marketing, profiling, or advertising.

This disclaimer applies specifically to ColourSwift Security. Other ColourSwift Limited services follow the broader privacy principles outlined in this policy.

2. Information We Collect

When using cloud-based threat lookup services:

5. Data Retention

Account-related data is retained for as long as your account remains active. Upon account deletion, personal data is deleted or anonymised unless retention is required by law.

6. Security

We implement appropriate technical and organisational safeguards to protect personal information. Communications with cloud services are encrypted using modern industry standards.

Offline ColourSwift applications operate entirely locally unless cloud features are explicitly enabled.

While no online system can guarantee absolute security, our design philosophy prioritises user privacy and data minimisation.

Where required by applicable law, a child may be defined as a person under 18 years of age. If we become aware that personal data relating to a child has been collected, such data will be deleted.
