Thank you for choosing to use Message - Texting App ("we," "our," or "us"). Your privacy is important to us. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, protect, and disclose information when you use the Message - Texting App mobile application (the "App"). By downloading and using the App, you agree to the practices described in this policy.
We collect and process various types of data to provide a better user experience. The information collected by the Messages app falls into two categories: personal information and non-personal information.
This refers to information that can identify you or be used to contact you directly. We may collect the following types of personal information:
Contact Information: We may access your contacts to identify senders and categorize messages. This data is used locally on your device and is not shared with us.
Phone Number: Required for the basic functionality of the app (SMS).
Message Content: We access SMS content to categorize messages (e.g., personal, promotional, OTP). This data is processed locally and not stored or transmitted externally.
This refers to data that does not directly identify you. This includes:
Device Information: Such as device model, OS version, language, and region.
App Usage Data: Frequency of app usage, crash logs, and in-app actions, used to improve performance and user experience.
Log Data: Like IP address, app version, and access times, collected via analytics tools (e.g., Firebase Analytics or Google Analytics for Firebase).
We collect this information solely to offer a better, more personalized experience. Here's how we use your data:
To display, organize, and categorize SMS messages
To identify and separate spam, OTPs, personal, and promotional messages
To schedule and send messages on your behalf (when enabled)
To provide real-time score or message notifications (if applicable)
To offer language-specific content based on your device language
To improve app functionality and performance based on feedback and analytics
We do not share, sell, or rent your personal information to any third party for marketing or advertising purposes.
To function properly, the Messages app requires certain permissions:
SMS Permission: To read, receive, and send text messages
Contacts Permission: To match SMS messages with contact names
Notification Access: To display incoming messages and alerts
All permissions are solely used for delivering the app’s features and are not used to collect data unnecessarily.
Messages does not store or transmit any personal SMS or contact data to external servers. All your SMS messages, contact lists, and scheduled messages are stored locally on your device only.
We take strong measures to protect the integrity and confidentiality of your data:
Local data encryption for sensitive app data
No external access to your message content
No cloud storage of your personal information
Use of secure APIs and Android’s built-in sandboxing to prevent data leaks
Although we implement industry-standard security measures, no system is completely foolproof. By using the App, you acknowledge that we cannot guarantee absolute security, but we work hard to protect your information.
We may use third-party service providers for the following purposes:
Crash Reporting & Analytics (e.g., Firebase Analytics, Google Analytics for Firebase)
Ad Display (if applicable) via Google AdMob or similar providers
These services may collect data such as device ID, app usage, and crash information, but do not have access to your SMS or contact data.
We encourage you to review the privacy policies of these third-party services:
Google Privacy Policy
Firebase Privacy Policy
We provide you full control over your data within the app. You can:
Disable permissions at any time via your device settings
Delete scheduled messages or SMS categories manually
Choose themes and notification preferences
Opt out of analytics tracking (if available in app settings)
You are in control of how the app interacts with your data.
Messages is not intended for use by children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can remove it.
If you are accessing the app from outside your home country, your information may be transferred to and processed in a country where data protection laws may differ from your jurisdiction. By using the app, you consent to this transfer.
We do not retain your personal data on our servers. All SMS data, messages, and scheduled content are stored only on your device and are removed when:
You uninstall the app
You manually delete the data from your device
You reset the app settings or storage
We retain anonymized analytics data for app performance improvement purposes only.
If the Messages app shows advertisements, we may use ad networks such as Google AdMob, which may collect limited device data for showing relevant ads. These ads do not read or use your SMS, contact, or personal information.
You may opt out of interest-based ads through your device settings or by visiting:
We may update this privacy policy from time to time to reflect changes in legal requirements, features, or business practices. When we make significant changes, we will notify you through the app or via email, if applicable.
We encourage you to review this policy regularly. Continued use of the app after any changes constitutes your agreement to the updated policy.
