This Privacy Policy explains how SMSControl (“the App”, “we”, “our”, or “us”) handles your information. By using SMSControl, you agree to the practices described in this Policy.
SMSControl is designed with privacy in mind and aims to minimize data access and collection wherever possible.
SMSControl does not collect, store, transmit, or share any of the following information:
SMS messages or message content
Contact names, phone numbers, or address book data
Call logs or call information
User-created message templates or settings
Device identifiers or location data
Any personal data entered into the App by the user
All information you create or use within the App remains exclusively on your device.
SMSControl does not collect personal data. The only information collected is:
The App displays advertisements provided by Google AdSense. Google may collect:
Anonymous usage data
Ad interaction data
Device or advertising identifiers
This data is collected and processed solely by Google, not by SMSControl.
All ad-related data usage is governed by Google’s Privacy Policy and advertising practices.
SMSControl does not have access to or store any of this data.
3.1 SMS Permission (SEND_SMS)
SMSControl uses the SMS permission solely to facilitate the sending of user-defined message templates.
Manual Trigger: The app does not send messages automatically or in the background. Every message is initiated by a conscious user action within the app.
Local Processing: The app does not read your inbox, monitor incoming messages, or store message history.
No Data Collection: Message content and recipient numbers are used only to populate the outgoing message and are never collected, uploaded, or shared with us or any third party.
3.2 Contacts Permission
Used solely to allow you to pick a recipient for your templates. The app does not "read" your contact list into a database; it only opens the system picker for your convenience. No contact data ever leaves your device.
SMSControl does not collect or store personal data, so there is no personal information to use or process.
The App functions entirely on-device, except for:
Advertisements served by Google AdSense
Any network activity by your default SMS app when sending messages
Because SMSControl does not store or transmit personal information:
No user data is retained on servers
No data is transmitted to third-party services (except Google AdSense, as described)
All message content and contact selections remain only on your device
We take steps to minimize permissions and avoid unnecessary access to personal data.
The only third-party service used is Google AdSense.
Google may collect anonymous data related to ads, but SMSControl does not control or store this data.
For more information about how Google handles data, please refer to Google’s Privacy Policy.
SMSControl does not target children and does not collect personal data from users of any age. Any ads shown may be subject to Google’s child-appropriate content policies if applicable.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The updated version will be available within the App or accompanying documentation. Continued use of the App after updates indicates acceptance of the revised Policy.
