Privacy Policy
Nesta página
This Privacy Policy explains how Swopli LTDA ("Swopli", "we", "us", "our") collects, uses, shares, and protects personal data when you use the Swopli platform — our website, mobile application, and related services (collectively, the "Platform"). Swopli is a peer-to-peer barter marketplace that enables users to exchange products and services directly, without financial transactions between users.
This Policy is organized into a Global Baseline section that applies to all users worldwide, followed by jurisdiction-specific sections that provide additional rights, disclosures, and protections required by local law. If you reside in a jurisdiction covered by one of the specific sections below, that section supplements (and in case of conflict, prevails over) the Global Baseline.
