Welcome to Calm SMS. We are committed to protecting your privacy while providing a modern, powerful, and customizable SMS experience.
Calm SMS is an advanced SMS application designed to go beyond the features offered by many default messaging apps. In addition to reliable SMS messaging, the App includes a wide range of productivity, organization, personalization, and spam-management features, such as scheduled messages, automatic conversation muting, smart message categorization, keyword-based spam detection, automated blocking tools, conversation export, message reminders, customizable swipe gestures, multiple free themes, and many other enhancements designed to make messaging faster, cleaner, and more efficient.
Despite offering these advanced features, Calm SMS follows a privacy-first approach. The App is designed to process your SMS data locally on your device whenever possible.

Protecting your information is important to us.

However, no method of electronic storage or transmission is completely secure. While we take reasonable measures to protect your information, we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Because Calm SMS stores data locally:
SMS messages remain within your device's messaging database.
Contacts remain managed by your device.
App preferences remain on your device until you delete them, clear app data, or uninstall the App.
Google AdMob may retain certain information according to Google's own data retention policies.
You remain in control of your information.
You can:
Grant or revoke app permissions through Android Settings.
Change your default SMS application at any time.
Delete messages, conversations, drafts, and scheduled messages.

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we become aware that such information has been collected, we will take appropriate steps to remove it.
Calm SMS does not operate its own cloud servers and does not transfer your SMS messages or contacts internationally.
However, third-party providers such as Google AdMob may process limited device information on servers located in different countries in accordance with their own privacy practices.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes to the App, legal requirements, or industry best practices.
