1 - SwiftKey and your data
First, please note that unless you have opted in to use a SwiftKey Account on your Android device, all personal and language data generated by SwiftKey is stored locally on your device and is never transferred.
What about credit card numbers and passwords?
SwiftKey does not learn anything from fields marked as password fields, nor does it remember long numbers such as credit card numbers.
The warning message from Google that says SwiftKey may be able to collect ‘all the text you type, including personal data like passwords and credit card numbers’ (pictured below) is a part of the Android operating system that appears when any third party keyboard is enabled.
SwiftKey is predicting my password - how do I stop it doing this?
SwiftKey is designed never to learn from or predict what you enter in a specified password text field. It is up to the website or application you are logging into to build that specification into the field.
However, there are some situations out of our control where your password might be remembered by the prediction engine. The usual culprits are:
- You previously sent an SMS message containing your password
- A typed password in an email
- In some cases, websites or apps do not correctly inform SwiftKey that a particular field was a password field
- If you use the 'show password' option on an app or website, that text field will no longer be identified as a password field
If you find your password is being predicted, you can easily remove the word from SwiftKey’s dynamic language model by longpressing on the word in the prediction bar when it is shown and tapping ‘Remove’.
