Privacy, in plain language.

How SwedPlay collects, uses and protects information when you discover games, complete verified playtime and redeem rewards.

Last updated: 25 August 2026Applies to: the SwedPlay Android app and this website

01Who we are

SwedPlay is a free Android application operated by Swedswap Ltd ("SwedPlay", "we", "us"), a company registered in the United Kingdom and the data controller for the information described here. We help people discover games, earn points for verified activity and redeem those points for rewards in the SwedPlay Shop.

This policy explains the information handled by the app, why we use it and the choices available to you.

02What we collect

We collect only what is needed to operate the app, prevent abuse and deliver rewards.

Account dataYour email address, a player ID and your sign-in state. If you choose Google sign-in, we receive your verified email address and Google’s unique account identifier; the sign-in response may also contain your display name and profile image. The name and image are handled only while completing sign-in and are not stored by SwedPlay. We never receive your Google password. If you use email sign-in, your password is kept only as a salted hash on our servers and is never stored in the app.
Gameplay and playtimeOffers opened, milestones reached, verified foreground time and reward status. For a promoted game we also record when it was first installed on your device and whether it had been used on it before — only to detect duplicate or fraudulent rewards.
Device and networkAn Android device identifier (ANDROID_ID), the app version, the device model and brand, the Android version, the screen size and density, the time zone and language, the mobile network operator name and SIM country, the type of connection, your country/region and your IP address. They tie a play session to one device, attribute your install to the right offer and prevent fraud. We do not use your advertising ID and we never build an advertising profile of you or target ads at you — but we do use these identifiers to measure whether an advertiser’s campaign delivered the install or the playtime it paid for.
Device integrity signalsWhether the app is running inside a work profile or a cloned / dual-app space, whether the device appears to be rooted or to run Magisk or Xposed, whether it looks like an emulator, whether a VPN or proxy is in use, which store installed SwedPlay, how long ago it was installed, and — during a playtime session — the battery level, whether the device is charging, whether the screen is on and the timing of each check-in. See section 05.
Attribution, referrals and daily rewardsIf you arrived from a publisher or a friend’s referral link, we process the link or click token, the Google Play install referrer, the referring and referred player IDs, and limited click information such as IP address and browser user agent so the correct source is credited. We also record referral rewards, the seven daily check-in claims and a hashed device association used to stop the same account or device claiming them repeatedly. Referral click IP address and user agent are removed as soon as the referral is attached.
Purchases and redemptionsShop orders, points, reward selections, delivery status and the destination email used when a digital reward must be delivered. The current SwedPlay app does not ask for a shipping name or postal address.

We do not ask for access to your contacts, photo library, messages, microphone or precise location, and we do not read the list of apps installed on your device. Google sign-in may include a profile image in its temporary sign-in response as described above; SwedPlay does not access your photo library or store that image.

All of the above leaves your device. Everything listed here is sent to our servers — that is how rewards are credited and how fraud is detected. Nothing on this page stays only on the phone.

03How we use information

  • Provide games, offers, points, notifications and the SwedPlay Shop.
  • Verify that playtime and in-game events were completed by a real player.
  • Attribute installs and events to the correct offer and publisher.
  • Measure how an advertiser’s campaign performed — how many installs, milestones and events it produced — and report those results back to the advertiser and to the publisher that sent you. This is advertising measurement; it is not ad targeting.
  • Prevent duplicate rewards, fraud, abuse and attempts to manipulate the service.
  • Check device integrity — emulators, cloned apps, rooted devices and VPN or proxy connections — and score how likely a play session is to be genuine.
  • Keep the app reliable and improve the experience.
  • Respond to support requests and meet legal or accounting obligations.

Legal basis (EEA and UK). We process your account, gameplay and redemption data to perform our contract with you; device, network and prior-use data for our legitimate interest in preventing fraud and duplicate rewards; and other data where the law requires it. Where we rely on your consent — for example Android Usage Access — you can withdraw it at any time without affecting the processing already carried out.

04Usage access and playtime

Usage access is optional. It is used only when you choose to participate in verified playtime offers. You can revoke it at any time in Android Settings; playtime verification will then stop, while the rest of the app can remain available.

When enabled, SwedPlay reads limited app-usage information about the promoted game only: whether it is in the foreground, for how long, when it was installed on this device and whether it had been used on this device before. The last two are used only to detect reward fraud. This information is sent to our servers to credit your reward and to check it is not a duplicate.

SwedPlay does not obtain the list of apps installed on your device, and does not read the content of other apps, messages or files. Hybrid offers may also receive a level or event confirmation from the advertiser's server. While a playtime offer is running the app shows a permanent notification so you always know that time is being measured.

05Device and anti-fraud checks

Rewards are paid for real play by real people. To keep it that way, when you start a playtime session the app looks at a small set of technical signals about the device and sends them to our servers together with the session.

What we check

  • Device basics: model, brand, Android version, screen size and density, time zone and language, ANDROID_ID and the app version.
  • Network: the type of connection, the mobile operator name, the SIM country, and whether the traffic is going through a VPN or proxy. Your IP address gives us a country, never a street-level location.
  • Integrity: whether the device appears to be an emulator, rooted, or running Magisk or Xposed, and whether SwedPlay itself is running inside a work profile or a cloned / dual-app space — the usual way one person farms the same reward many times.
  • Provenance: which store installed SwedPlay and how long ago it was installed.
  • Session behaviour: battery level and charging state, whether the screen is on, and how regular the check-ins are — perfectly timed check-ins are a sign of automation.

What we do not do

We do not read the list of apps installed on your device, we do not read the content of other apps, messages or files, we do not use your advertising ID, and we never sell any of this. These signals exist to decide whether a session is genuine; the ones that also identify the session — the device ID and the user ID — are additionally used to tell the advertiser and the publisher that their campaign produced this install or this playtime. That is measurement, not targeting: we never use them to choose which ads you see.

What happens with the result

The signals produce a risk score for the session. A high score does not close your account by itself: it can put a reward on hold so a person can review it. If you think a reward was held unfairly, write to contact@swedswap.com and a human will look at it. A work profile or a second device user also raises the score, which is why it never blocks on its own.

These checks run when a playtime session starts and while it is running. They do not run when the app is closed.

06When we share information

We may share limited information with service providers that help us host the app, measure attribution, verify offers, process shop orders or provide support. Advertisers and their measurement providers may receive the campaign or game, the install, gameplay or reward event, the campaign click ID, a player or session identifier, a device identifier and country/region where those fields are required to validate and measure their campaign. If you reached SwedPlay through a partner site or app (a publisher), that publisher receives confirmation that you completed the activity together with the user identifier it assigned to you and the reward information needed for its account. They do not receive your email address, Google profile, private messages, photos or contacts. A digital reward provider receives the delivery email and reward selection needed to fulfil that order.

Some of these providers are located outside your country, including outside the EEA or the UK. When we transfer personal data there, we rely on the safeguards required by law, such as the European Commission's standard contractual clauses.

We do not sell personal information. We may disclose information if required by law, to protect users and the service, or as part of a corporate transaction.

07Retention

We keep your account, referral, daily check-in and reward records for as long as your account is active. If you ask us to delete your account we remove them within 30 days, except for records we must keep by law — typically accounting records of rewards already delivered, which we keep for the period required in our jurisdiction and use for nothing else. Playtime, device, integrity and fraud-prevention data — including the signals in section 05 — is kept for up to 24 months and then deleted or aggregated so it no longer identifies you.

08Your choices and deletion

You can revoke Usage Access at any time in Android Settings and stop using any offer whenever you want. To delete your account and the data linked to it, use our data deletion form or email us — you do not need the app installed to do it.

You can also ask us to give you a copy of your data, correct it, restrict or object to how we use it, or receive it in a portable format. Write to contact@swedswap.com and we will reply within 30 days. We may retain limited records where the law requires it or where they are needed to prevent fraud. If you are in the EEA or the UK and you are not happy with our answer, you can complain to your local data protection authority.

09Security

We use encrypted connections, access controls and fraud safeguards designed to protect information. No online service can guarantee absolute security, so please keep your device and account credentials protected and contact us promptly if you notice suspicious activity.

If a security incident affects your personal data, we will notify the competent supervisory authority and, where the law requires it, you, without undue delay.

10Children

SwedPlay is for adults. You must be at least 18 years old to create an account and redeem rewards, and the app is not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If you believe a minor has created an account, contact us and we will delete it and its data.

11Changes to this policy

We may update this policy as SwedPlay evolves. Material changes will be shown in the app or on this page, together with a new "Last updated" date.
