Privacy Policy

Last updated: 7 September 2026

Swelity ("Swelity", "we", "us" or "our") respects your privacy and aims to handle information responsibly and transparently.

This Privacy Policy explains what information may be processed when you visit or use the Swelity website and its online tools, how that information may be used, and the choices that may be available to you.

Swelity is designed primarily as a collection of online tools for everyday digital tasks, including developer tools, image tools, PDF tools, text tools, web utilities and other online utilities.

1. Information We May Process

The information processed by Swelity depends on how you use the website and which features or tools you use.

Depending on the circumstances, this may include:

Technical information, such as browser type, device type, operating system, approximate location derived from technical information, IP address, referring website and information about how the website is accessed.
Usage information, such as pages visited, tools used, interactions with website features and general information about how visitors use the website.
Files and content that you choose to process using a Swelity tool.
Information you voluntarily provide if Swelity introduces features that allow you to submit information, communicate with us or otherwise provide information directly.

Not every category of information listed above is collected or processed by every Swelity tool. The information involved depends on the particular website feature or tool you use.

2. Files and Browser-Based Processing

Many Swelity tools are designed to perform processing directly within your web browser where practical.

When a tool operates entirely within your browser, the relevant file or content may be processed locally on your device rather than being uploaded to a Swelity server.

However, processing methods can vary between tools. Some current or future features may require information or files to be processed through servers, third-party services or other technologies.

For this reason, you should review the information provided for an individual tool before processing sensitive, confidential or irreplaceable information.

Where a tool is specifically described as processing information locally in your browser, Swelity does not ordinarily receive the file or content being processed by that local operation.

3. How We May Use Information

Depending on the circumstances, information may be used for purposes such as:

providing and operating the Swelity website and its tools;
processing requests made through particular features;
maintaining and improving website functionality;
understanding how visitors use the website;
monitoring performance, reliability and security;
detecting, preventing and investigating misuse, fraud or security issues;
maintaining and protecting our infrastructure;
complying with applicable legal obligations;
responding to enquiries where a communication feature is available; and
developing and improving existing or future Swelity services.

We will only use information for purposes that are appropriate to the way in which it was collected and the circumstances in which it is processed.

4. Legal Bases for Processing

Where data protection law requires us to have a lawful basis for processing personal information, the applicable basis may depend on the type and purpose of processing.

Depending on the circumstances, this may include:

Performance of a service or request, where processing is necessary to provide a feature or tool that you have requested.
Legitimate interests, where processing is reasonably necessary for purposes such as maintaining security, preventing misuse, improving services or operating the website, provided those interests are not overridden by applicable rights and interests.
Legal obligations, where processing is necessary to comply with applicable laws or legal requirements.
Consent, where consent is required by applicable law, including certain uses of non-essential cookies or similar technologies.

The applicable lawful basis may vary depending on the specific processing activity and the jurisdiction in which you are located.

5. Cookies and Similar Technologies

Swelity may use cookies, local storage and similar technologies to support website functionality, remember preferences, improve the user experience, understand website usage and, where applicable, support analytics or advertising.

Some technologies may be necessary for the website or a requested feature to function properly. Where permitted by applicable law, these technologies may be used without additional consent.

Non-essential cookies and similar technologies may require your consent depending on their purpose and the laws that apply to you.

If Swelity uses non-essential cookies or similar technologies that require consent, appropriate information and consent controls will be provided where required.

You may also be able to control or delete cookies through your browser settings. However, disabling certain technologies may affect some website functionality.

6. Analytics

Swelity may use analytics services to understand how visitors use the website, measure performance, identify problems and improve the overall user experience.

If analytics technologies require consent under applicable law, they will only be used after the appropriate consent has been obtained.

Analytics information may include information such as pages visited, referring sources, device or browser information, approximate geographic information and interactions with the website.

The specific analytics services used by Swelity may change over time. Where appropriate, this Privacy Policy and any relevant consent information will be updated to reflect material changes.

7. Advertising

Swelity may introduce advertising or advertising-related services in the future.

Advertising technologies may involve the use of cookies, local storage, device information, identifiers or other technologies depending on the advertising provider and the type of advertising used.

Where advertising technologies require consent under applicable law, Swelity will provide appropriate information and consent choices before using those technologies.

Advertising partners may process information according to their own privacy policies and terms. Where applicable, information about relevant third-party providers will be provided through the appropriate privacy or consent information.

8. Third-Party Services

Swelity may use third-party services, infrastructure providers, analytics providers, advertising providers, content delivery services, security services, payment providers or other technology providers to operate or improve the website and its features.

Depending on the service involved, these providers may process certain technical information or other information required to provide their services.

Third-party providers may operate in countries other than the country in which you are located. Where applicable, appropriate safeguards or legal mechanisms may be used for international transfers of personal information.

Third-party services are subject to their own privacy policies and terms. Swelity does not control the privacy practices of independent third-party providers.

9. Information Sharing

We may share information with third parties where reasonably necessary to operate Swelity, provide requested services, maintain security, comply with legal obligations or perform other legitimate functions described in this Privacy Policy.

This may include sharing information with:

hosting and infrastructure providers;
security and technical service providers;
analytics providers, where applicable;
advertising or affiliate partners, where applicable;
payment or commercial service providers, where applicable;
professional advisers where reasonably necessary; and
government authorities or other parties where required by law.

We do not sell personal information simply because you visit or use a Swelity tool.

Where applicable law treats certain advertising, analytics or data-sharing activities as a sale, sharing or similar regulated activity, we will comply with the requirements that apply to those activities.

10. Data Retention

We retain information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, to provide the relevant service, to maintain security, to comply with legal obligations, to resolve disputes or to enforce applicable agreements.

Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information and the purpose for which it is processed.

Files processed entirely within your browser are generally not stored by Swelity as part of that local processing.

Where a particular tool or service requires server-side processing, storage or third-party processing, the applicable retention practices may differ.

11. Data Security

We take reasonable measures designed to protect information processed in connection with Swelity against unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure, loss or destruction.

However, no website, software, online service, network or electronic transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

You are responsible for taking reasonable precautions when using Swelity, including maintaining appropriate backups of important files and avoiding the use of tools for sensitive information where the relevant processing method is not suitable for that information.

12. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on your location and the laws that apply to you, you may have certain rights regarding your personal information.

These rights may include, where applicable:

the right to request access to personal information;
the right to request correction of inaccurate information;
the right to request deletion of information;
the right to request restriction of certain processing;
the right to object to certain processing;
the right to data portability in applicable circumstances;
the right to withdraw consent where processing is based on consent; and
the right to complain to an applicable data protection authority.

These rights are not absolute and may be subject to conditions or limitations under applicable law.

13. Exercising Your Privacy Rights

Swelity does not currently provide a dedicated public privacy email address or privacy request portal.

If Swelity introduces a dedicated method for submitting privacy requests, the relevant information will be published on the website.

If you have a privacy-related concern, you should retain any relevant information that may help identify the issue or request.

Where applicable law gives you a right to make a privacy request, we will handle such requests in accordance with the requirements that apply to us.

14. Complaints and Data Protection Authorities

If you have concerns about how your personal information is handled, you may have the right to complain to the data protection or privacy authority that has jurisdiction over you.

For individuals in the United Kingdom, this may include the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO).

For individuals in the European Union or European Economic Area, complaints may generally be made to the relevant data protection authority in accordance with applicable law.

15. Children's Privacy

Swelity is a general-purpose online tools website and is not specifically directed at children.

We do not knowingly seek to collect personal information from children where such collection is prohibited by applicable law.

If you believe that a child has provided personal information to Swelity in circumstances where it should not have been collected, appropriate action may be taken where we become aware of the issue.

16. International Users

Swelity may be accessed by users from different countries.

Depending on the services and technologies used, information may be processed in countries other than the country in which you are located.

Where applicable law requires safeguards for international transfers of personal information, appropriate safeguards or legal mechanisms will be considered and used as required.

17. Links to Other Websites

Swelity may contain links to third-party websites, services or resources.

Those websites operate independently from Swelity and may have their own privacy policies and terms.

We are not responsible for the privacy practices, security or content of third-party websites.

You should review the privacy policy of an external website before providing personal information to it.

18. Changes to Swelity

Swelity is continually developing. We may introduce new tools, features, services, analytics technologies, advertising technologies or other functionality in the future.

Where a change materially affects how personal information is processed, we will update this Privacy Policy and provide any additional information or choices required by applicable law.

19. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes to Swelity, our processing activities, applicable laws, third-party services or our operating practices.

When we make changes, the updated version will be published on this page with a revised "Last updated" date.

You should review this Privacy Policy periodically to remain informed about how information may be handled by Swelity.

20. Contact and Privacy Enquiries

Swelity does not currently provide a dedicated public email address for general or privacy enquiries.

If a dedicated contact method for privacy, legal or other enquiries is introduced, the relevant details will be published on the Swelity website.

21. Governing Privacy Requirements

The privacy and data protection requirements that apply to your use of Swelity may depend on your location, the nature of the processing involved, and the laws applicable to Swelity.

Nothing in this Privacy Policy is intended to remove, restrict or exclude any privacy or data protection rights that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited.
