Recover Deleted Messages app, developed by Big Ocean Studio, is a free service provided "as is" at no cost to users. This policy outlines how we collect, use, and protect your personal information when you use our app. By choosing to use our service, you consent to the data practices described here—your information is solely used to enhance and deliver the service, and we do not share it unless specified in this policy.
For clarity, terms in this Privacy Policy align with those in our Terms and Conditions (available within the app), unless stated otherwise.
1. Information We Collect
Our Recover Deleted Messages app operates without collecting personal information like names, emails, or phone numbers during regular use, requiring no user registration. However, to enhance functionality and improve service quality, we automatically gather limited non-personal data, including:
(1) basic device specifications (model, RAM, storage, OS version) for performance optimization
(2) anonymized crash reports for bug resolution.
The app incorporates third-party services that may collect additional data:
· AdMob
These services might access device identifiers or IP addresses through tracking technologies. For complete transparency, we encourage users to review each provider's privacy policy regarding their specific data practices.
2. How We Use Your Information
To provide a better experience, we use collected data in the following ways:
App Improvement: Device and usage data help us optimize performance and fix bugs.
Personalized Ads: AdMob may use your data to display relevant advertisements.
Crash Reports: Automated crash reports allow us to identify and resolve technical issues quickly.
All data is handled responsibly and used solely to enhance app functionality and user experience.
3. Your Data Rights & Control
We respect your privacy and provide these options to manage your information:
• Access: Request a copy of your collected data at any time
• Deletion: Ask us to permanently erase your personal information
• Ad Preferences: Opt-out of personalized ads via your device settings
Permissions Management: Adjust or revoke app access (storage, network, etc.) through your device settings.
4. Permissions We Request
To deliver core features and ensure smooth functionality, the Application may request the following permissions:
Internet Access – Enables features that require an internet connection, such as syncing and restoring messages.
Storage Permissions Required to access and manage media files for restoring deleted messages and creating backups:
READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE – Allows the app to read media files on your device.
WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE – Allows the app to save media files to your device.
READ_MEDIA_IMAGES – Grants access to images and media stored on your device.
Access Network State – Detects changes in your internet connection to support syncing and real-time features.

Foreground Service – Keeps the app active while in use to support real-time operations like message restoration or backup management.
Foreground Service Special permission – Enables continuous background when the app is actively running, ensuring deleted messages and backups stay up to date.
Media & Storage Access - This permission allows the app to access media files and device storage in order to recover and save deleted messages or media content.
Notification Access - The app requires access to your notifications to detect and securely restore deleted messages.
Notification Permission:
Recover Deleted Messages App requires Notification Access to provide the core feature of recovering deleted messages. When you receive a message, it first appears in your phone’s notification bar. If the sender deletes the message, our app uses the notification to fetch the text before it disappears. This allows you to view and restore deleted messages that would otherwise be lost. The notification access is used only for this purpose and does not give us control over your device or access to any personal information. All recovered messages are stored locally on your phone, ensuring your privacy and security are fully protected. We do not collect, upload, or share any of your messages with third parties.
Media Permission:
To recover deleted media such as photos, videos, audio, and documents, etc, our app requests media permission to access your phone’s storage. This permission allows the app to detect and save media files that the sender deletes, so you can retrieve them later. Access is strictly limited to files related to WhatsApp message recovery and is never used to collect other personal content on your device. All recovered media remains stored safely on your phone and is never uploaded to our servers or shared with any third party. This ensures that your files and personal data remain private and under your control at all times.
All permissions are used strictly for their stated purposes. You can manage or revoke these permissions anytime through your device settings.
5. Security
We value your trust in providing us with your Personal Information, thus we are striving to use commercially acceptable means of protecting it. But remember that no method of transmission over the internet, or method of electronic storage is 100% secure and reliable, and I cannot guarantee its absolute security.
6. Children's Privacy Policy
Our app is not designed for users under 13 years of age, and we do not knowingly collect any personal information from children. If we discover that a child under 13 has provided personal data, we will promptly delete it from our systems. Parents or guardians who become aware of such a situation should contact us immediately at [support email] so we can take appropriate action to protect the child's privacy.
7. Changes to This Privacy Policy
I may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. Thus, you are advised to review this page periodically for any changes. I will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page.
