Last updated: September 27, 2026 · Applies to the SwipeThisCard app and this website.
This policy explains what the SwipeThisCard app and swipethiscard.com handle, where it goes, and what you can do about it. “We” and “us” means Tessvane LLC, the company that makes SwipeThisCard. This policy is part of our Terms of Service.
This policy takes effect when Tessvane LLC is formed. Until then, and until this notice is removed, this page is not the live policy.
SwipeThisCard knows only what you type into it:
The app never asks for a full card number, a security code, a PIN, a bank login or your current balance, and there is nowhere in it to type one. It has no connection to your bank or your card issuer.
On your device, in the app’s own storage, protected by your device’s passcode and encryption. When you’re signed in to iCloud, the app also keeps a copy in the private database of your own iCloud account, so your cards appear on your other devices. Apple holds that copy under your Apple Account and Apple’s own privacy policy; we have no access to it. To keep your cards on one device only, turn SwipeThisCard off in your device’s iCloud settings.
The app’s widgets, reminders and Siri answers read the same information on your device. They don’t send it anywhere.
Only these, and nothing else:
Reminders are scheduled by iOS on your device; no server of ours sends them. Reminders, widgets and Siri can show or say a card’s name, its last four digits and a company name you gave it — never an amount — where others might see or hear them, such as on your Lock Screen. You decide how much they show in the app under Settings › Widgets, and in your device’s own notification settings.
Face ID Lock is off unless you turn it on. When it’s on, iOS checks your face, fingerprint or passcode and tells the app only whether it matched; the app never receives your face or fingerprint data. The lock covers the app and Siri’s answers, but not widgets or reminders, which follow the switches above.
Apple sells and bills Unlimited Cards. We never see your name, your Apple Account, your payment details or your address. The app asks Apple, on your device, whether you have an active purchase, and keeps the answer on your device. Apple gives us sales and subscription reports that do not identify you. Apple’s privacy policy covers what Apple does with your purchase.
The app can save your cards as a CSV file: dates, statuses, the statement balances you typed, and card facts, including credit limits and company names, but never card numbers, security codes or a current balance. Once you save or share it, it’s your file, and wherever you put it, that place’s terms apply. Keep it somewhere safe.
Contact Support in the app writes your message and hands it to your own mail app; nothing is sent until you send it yourself. It adds a short technical note you can read, change or delete first: app version, iOS version, device model, number of cards, your plan, and the screen you came from. It never adds your card details. If your device has no mail account set up, the app copies the message for you to paste into another mail app.
Email to hello@swipethiscard.com is kept in our mailbox, hosted by Google Workspace. We use it only to answer you and to fix what you report.
swipethiscard.com is a set of plain pages hosted by Vercel. It sets no cookies, runs no analytics, shows no ads, and loads nothing from any other company. Like any web host, Vercel keeps short-lived server logs — internet address, browser type, page requested — for security and reliability. We don’t use them to identify anyone.
The buttons to join the beta or to hear when the app launches open an email in your own mail app. If you send it, we keep your address on a list of our own and use it only to invite you to the beta or to tell you when the app ships. No mailing service and no tracking pixels. If that ever changes, this policy changes first.
Beta versions come through Apple’s TestFlight. Apple shares with us the name and email address you were invited under, when you installed each build and how often you’ve opened it, and, if you choose to send them, your feedback, screenshots and crash reports with your device details.
We also keep a short list of testers: your first name, country, email, roughly how many cards you carry, whether you have business cards, the devices you test on, the dates we invited you and heard from you, and the offer code for your free year. If you choose to tell us you are colorblind, we note that too, because the app is built for colorblind cardholders and we want it tested by them. We delete the list once every tester’s free year has been issued and the beta is over, keeping only the emails of testers who asked to hear about launches.
If you’ve chosen in your device’s settings to share analytics with app developers, Apple may send us crash reports and summary usage figures. They don’t identify you to us. You can change that in Settings › Privacy & Security › Analytics & Improvements. The app itself contains no crash reporter and no analytics code.
Four companies play a part, each under its own privacy terms and only for the job named:
We never sell or share information about you, show you ads, or track you across other companies’ apps or websites; the app never asks for permission to track you. We don’t buy information about you, combine what we hold with other sources, or use it to profile you or make automated decisions about you. And the app will never start sending anything new about you without saying so in the app first.
Wherever you live, you can ask us what we hold about you, to correct it, to delete it, or for a copy. For most cardholders the answer is nothing: what you typed in the app is already in your hands, and the export gives you a copy. If you have emailed us, or joined the beta or the launch list, write to hello@swipethiscard.com from the same address and we will act within 30 days. Someone else may ask for you with your written permission. We will never treat you differently for asking.
We don’t sell or share personal information, so there is nothing to opt out of. This website tracks no one, so it treats every visit the same, with or without a Do Not Track or Global Privacy Control signal. If you are in the European Union or the United Kingdom, we rely on your consent for the launch and beta lists (you can withdraw it at any time), and on our legitimate interest in answering you and keeping this site secure; you may also complain to your local data protection authority.
Your card information stays behind your own passcode, Face ID and Apple Account. Because we never hold it, a breach on our side cannot expose it. The card-facts files are signed, so the app ignores any file we did not publish. The little we do hold — email and the lists above — sits in accounts only we can reach. No system is perfect: if a breach ever affects information we hold, we will tell you as the law requires.
SwipeThisCard is for adults 18 and older and is not directed at children. If we learn that we hold a child’s information, such as an email, we delete it.
We are a US company. Our email and this website are run from the United States, and the card-facts files are served from Cloudflare’s servers around the world. If you write to us from outside the US, your email is handled in the US.
The date at the top of this page shows the current version. If a change matters — to what leaves your device, what we hold, or your rights — we’ll say so in the app before it takes effect.
