As part of our commitment to privacy and transparency, SwiftKey now stores your personalised typing data, such as your learned words, directly in your own OneDrive folder (OneDrive backup is rolling out in phases, and will be completely rolled out by 31st May 2026). This gives you full control over your data, including the ability to view, export, and delete it at any time.
