Privacy policy

Auto Swiper ("we", "our", or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This privacy policy explains how we collect, use, store, and protect your personal data when you use our website, browser extension, and Android app.

What data do we collect?

Auto Swiper collects the following data:

Account information

• Email address (for account registration and login)
• Password (hashed with bcrypt, used only for Auto Swiper account authentication)
• API authentication token (Laravel Sanctum bearer token, stored locally on your browser/device) used to authorize requests to our backend
• Subscription status (active plan, renewal date) — billing and payment information is handled exclusively by Stripe; we never see or store your card details, billing address, or transaction records

Important: We do NOT collect or store your login credentials for third-party dating platforms (Tinder, Lovoo, Badoo, etc.). The extension operates within your browser session on these platforms, and the Android app within the dating apps on your phone.

Website data

We use Plausible Analytics, a privacy-friendly, cookieless analytics service. Plausible does not use cookies, does not collect personal data, and does not track visitors across websites. The following aggregated data is collected:

• Site visits and page views
• Referrer (which site sent you to us)
• Browser and operating system (de-identified)
• Country (derived from IP address; the IP itself is not stored)

Extension usage data

• Filter preferences and settings (age range, distance, keywords)
• Swipe statistics (number of likes/dislikes per session)
• Session duration and activity timestamps
• Browser and system information for compatibility

AI messaging data

• Match profile information (name, bio, interests) for message generation
• Conversation context (recent messages with the same match) included with the generation request so the AI can craft a contextual reply
• Your messaging preferences (tone, length, custom instructions)
• Generated message content and delivery status
• AI message usage

Scope: The extension only reads chat messages from the dating-site tab when you actively use the AI messaging feature, and only for the conversation you are currently replying to. We never read or store your wider dating-app inbox, conversations with other matches, or any chat outside the AI generation request you triggered.

Location data (optional)

• If you choose a virtual location (city name or coordinates) for the extension's location-spoofing feature, that value is stored locally in your browser.
• The extension uses it to override navigator.geolocation on dating-site tabs only — your real device GPS is never read or transmitted.
• Pro and Ultimate users may sync the chosen location to their account so it is available across devices; the value is then stored on our servers alongside your other settings.

How do we collect your data?

You directly provide Auto Swiper with most of the data we collect. We collect and process data when you:

• Register for an account or subscribe to our services
• Configure your extension or app settings and preferences
• Use the Auto Swiper extension on supported dating platforms
• Use the Auto Swiper Android app on supported dating apps
• Use the AI-powered messaging feature (Pro and Ultimate plans)
• Contact us for support or provide feedback
• Use or view our website via your browser
• Download the Android APK from our website

We may also receive your data indirectly from the following sources:

• Chrome Web Store / Firefox Add-ons / Microsoft Edge Add-ons — Installation and review data for the browser extension
• Stripe — Payment processing and subscription management
• Discord — If you contact us through our Discord channel

Note: The Auto Swiper Android app is distributed as a direct APK download from our website. It is not available on Google Play, so we do not receive any installation or device data from Google.

How will we use your data?

Auto Swiper uses your data for the following purposes:

• Service Delivery: To provide and maintain the Auto Swiper extension functionality
• Account Management: To manage your account, subscriptions, and preferences
• AI Message Generation: To generate personalized messages based on match profiles and your preferences
• Service Improvement: To analyze usage patterns and improve our services
• Support: To respond to your inquiries and provide customer support
• Security: To detect and prevent fraud or abuse

AI-powered messaging feature

For users who enable the AI messaging feature:

Data processing

• Match profile data (name, bio, photos metadata, interests) is sent to our servers for message generation
• Recent conversation history (last few messages) may be included for context-aware replies
• Your custom instructions and preferences are applied to personalize messages
• Generated messages are returned to your browser and sent through the dating platform

Data storage

• Generated messages are logged to count your AI message balance and to improve the service
• Message logs are retained for 90 days, then automatically deleted
• Match profile data is processed in real-time and not permanently stored
• Conversation context is used only for the immediate message generation request

AI processing

• We use OpenAI as our large-language-model provider to generate messages. Your match profile data and conversation context are transmitted to OpenAI's API for the duration of a single generation request.
• OpenAI processes API requests according to its privacy policy and does not use API data to train its models by default.
• We do not use your data to train any AI models.

Android app

The Auto Swiper Android app supports Tinder, Bumble, Hinge, Badoo, and Lovoo through Android's AccessibilityService. The app is distributed as a direct APK download from our website and is not available on Google Play.

Data collected by the app

• Account credentials (email and Auto Swiper password) used to authenticate with our backend
• Filter preferences and swipe settings you configure inside the app
• Swipe statistics and session activity (used to enforce subscription limits and show your stats)
• Profile data read from the dating app's UI by AccessibilityService — used in-memory to apply your filters and is not transmitted to our servers

Crash and error reports

We use Sentry to collect crash reports and error diagnostics from the Android app. Reports may include:

• Stack traces and the exception that caused the crash
• Device model, Android version, and app version
• Anonymous installation identifier
• Breadcrumbs (recent in-app actions leading up to the error)

Sentry does not receive your dating-app credentials, profile photos of matches, or message content.

Permissions

The app requests Android's AccessibilityService permission so it can read the dating-app UI and perform swipe gestures on your behalf. It also requires internet access to communicate with our backend. No other sensitive permissions (camera, microphone, contacts, SMS, location) are requested.

Bug reports, feedback and the uninstall survey

The browser extension has a report form for problems, ideas and feedback. Nothing is sent until you press submit, and the form shows you exactly what is included first.

What a report contains

• The text you write and the report type
• The dating site the report is about, if you pick one
• The extension version, your browser language and your subscription tier
• Your email address if you are logged in, or the one you enter as a free user (optional — only needed if you want a reply)
• The anonymous installation identifier of your extension
• Diagnostic data (bug reports only, can be switched off): your browser and operating system, your extension settings and recent extension log entries. Before sending, the extension removes your location coordinates, replaces your keyword lists and custom AI instructions with their counts or lengths, and strips names, bios, messages, email addresses and URL parameters from the logs.
• Screenshots, only if you attach them yourself (up to three). Screenshots of dating sites can show other people, so please attach only what is needed.

Reports are only visible to the Auto Swiper team and are used to fix problems and reply to you. Screenshots are deleted 90 days after your report is resolved or closed.

Uninstall survey

When you remove the extension, your browser opens a short survey page on our website. The page address contains the extension version, your browser name and the anonymous installation identifier, so we can match your answer to a version. The reason you pick is stored with these values; a comment and email address are stored only if you enter them.
