Privacy Policy
How SwiftWorks Technology collects, uses, shares, and protects information across our website, applications, integrations, and text messaging.
Overview
This Privacy Policy explains how SwiftWorks Technology LLC (“SwiftWorks,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, shares, and protects personal information. It covers:
- our website at swiftworks.tech;
- our software applications and integrations, including applications that connect to Intuit QuickBooks Online and other third-party platforms;
- our text messaging (SMS/MMS) programs; and
- our other interactions with you (together, the “Services”).
Use of the Services is also governed by our Terms of Service. If you are a managed-services client, how we handle data in your environment is also governed by your signed agreement with us.
Information We Collect
Information you provide
- Contact and business details: name, company, job title, email address, phone number, and message content when you submit a form, request a quote, contact us, or communicate with us.
- Job applicant information: résumé, work history, qualifications, and contact details you submit through our careers pages.
- Client service information: support tickets, account contacts, and details you provide so we can deliver services.
- SMS information: your mobile number, your opt-in or opt-out status, the date, time, and method of consent, and message content.
Information from connected platforms
When you authorize one of our applications to connect to a third-party platform, we receive the data that platform makes available under the permissions you approve (“Connected Account Data”). Platforms include Intuit QuickBooks Online, Microsoft 365, RingCentral, and ticketing or PSA tools.
For QuickBooks Online, this may include company profile information, customers, vendors, invoices, bills, payments, items, accounts, and related transaction and report data. We also receive OAuth authorization tokens and company identifiers, which we use only to keep the connection working.
Information collected automatically
- Usage and device data: pages visited, referring pages, time on site, browser type, device type, and approximate location derived from IP address.
- Cookies and similar technologies: see “Cookies and Analytics” below.
- Application logs: security and diagnostic logs, such as sign-in events, errors, and API call status. These are designed not to record passwords or the contents of your financial records.
How We Use Information
We use personal information to:
- respond to inquiries, provide quotes, and deliver and support the Services;
- operate the features of our applications for you. For example, we use Connected Account Data to sync, report on, reconcile, or automate tasks in the accounts you connected;
- send service, support, account, and appointment communications, including text messages you have consented to;
- evaluate job applications;
- send marketing communications where permitted, with an option to opt out;
- secure, monitor, troubleshoot, and improve the Services;
- comply with legal obligations and enforce our agreements.
QuickBooks and Connected Account Data
We treat Connected Account Data, including data from Intuit QuickBooks Online, with additional restrictions:
- We use it only to provide the application functionality you requested, within the permissions you granted.
- We do not sell it. We do not use it for advertising or marketing. We do not share it with third parties except service providers who help us operate the application under confidentiality obligations, or as required by law.
- We do not share one customer’s data with another customer, and we do not combine it across customers. Any aggregate insight would be based only on de-identified, aggregated data.
- We do not use it to train general-purpose AI models that are made available to anyone else.
- OAuth tokens are encrypted at rest and never exposed in the application or shared with other parties.
- We store only what the application needs to function, and we do not keep copies for unrelated purposes.
- Connected Account Data is stored and processed in the United States.
- SwiftWorks processes this data on your behalf and under your authorization, not on behalf of Intuit Inc.
You can revoke access at any time by disconnecting the application in your QuickBooks Online account settings (or the relevant platform), or by contacting us. After disconnection, we stop retrieving data. We delete Connected Account Data we hold within 30 days unless you ask us to export it first, or unless we are legally required to retain it.
Text Messaging (SMS) Privacy
When you opt in to receive text messages from SwiftWorks Technology, we collect your mobile phone number and a record of your consent. We use them only to send the types of messages described in our SMS Terms and to honor your opt-out and help requests.
No mobile information will be shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes. Text messaging originator opt-in data and consent, and mobile phone numbers collected for SMS, will not be shared, sold, rented, or transferred to any third party or affiliate for any purpose. The only exception is the messaging vendors and carriers that physically deliver our messages, who receive phone numbers only to send messages for us and may not use them for anything else.
Message frequency varies. Message and data rates may apply. Reply STOP to opt out at any time, or HELP for help. You can also reach us at (855) 492-2825 or sales@swiftworks.tech.
How We Share Information
We do not sell personal information, and we do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising. We share personal information only with:
- Service providers that help us operate our business and the Services, such as hosting, email, messaging delivery, analytics, and IT tools. They may use the information only to perform services for us and must protect it.
- Third-party platforms you direct us to use. For example, we may write data back to your QuickBooks Online company when an application’s function requires it.
- Legal and safety recipients, when required by law, legal process, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of SwiftWorks, our clients, or others.
- A successor entity in connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, or sale of assets. That entity remains bound by this Privacy Policy.
All of the categories above exclude text messaging originator opt-in data and consent. SMS opt-in data and consent will not be shared with any third parties under any of these categories.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will post the updated version here and revise the “Last updated” date. If changes are material, we will provide additional notice where appropriate.
