Al-Salam Alaykum

swearing by Allah’s name is a great sin. You must avoid it again and repent to Allah for what you have done! and Allah is the forgiving and Merciful! there is not any Kafara for such a swearing. just there repent and regret in heart is enough.

You don’t have to give information to others if you don’t wish to, but don’t use such words to keep your stance.

best regards!
