FormSwift has created the following Privacy Policy to let you know what information we collect when you visit or use the Services, why we collect it, and how it is used. All capitalized terms not defined in this Privacy Policy will have the meanings set forth in the FormSwift Terms of Service.

Information We Collect

Account Information. When you create an account, we will collect your name and email address. We may also collect your credit or debit card information, address, and phone number.
