Offline SMS Backup Privacy Policy
Effective Date: December 22, 2024
At Offline SMS Backup, your privacy is important to us. This Privacy Policy outlines the types of personal data we collect, how we use it, and how we keep it secure. By using the Offline SMS Backup app, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.
1. Information We Collect
The Offline SMS Backup app requires the READ_SMS permission on your device to access and read your SMS messages. This permission is necessary for the app to create and store backups of your SMS messages in a single text file.
- SMS Data: The app only collects and processes your SMS messages for the purpose of backing them up into a text file. It does not send, store, or share your SMS messages with third parties.
- No Personal Identifiable Information (PII): The app does not collect any personal information like names, phone numbers, email addresses, or any other personally identifiable information unless explicitly provided by you for backup sharing or via any third-party services you choose to use (e.g., email or cloud storage).
2. How We Use Your Information
The data (SMS messages) collected is used exclusively for the following purposes:
- Backup Creation: To create a backup of your SMS messages in the form of a single text file.
- Auto-Share Functionality: To allow you to automatically share the backup file via email or other messaging platforms, should you choose to do so.
The backup file is stored locally on your device, and no information is uploaded to any server or cloud service unless you manually choose to share or store it externally.
3. Data Security
We take the security of your data seriously. The SMS data is stored on your device only and is not shared or transmitted to any external servers or third-party services unless you initiate it. However, please be aware that no method of electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
4. Permissions
- READ_SMS: This permission allows the app to read your SMS messages solely for the purpose of creating a backup. The app does not send, share, or store any of your data remotely.
5. Data Sharing
Offline SMS Backup does not share, sell, or rent your SMS data to any third parties. The data stays on your device unless you manually decide to share the backup file (such as through email or other messaging apps).
6. Third-Party Services
The app does not use any third-party services that collect personal data. If you decide to share your backup file via third-party services like email or cloud storage, please be aware that the privacy practices of these services are outside of our control. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party services you use.
