In the case when you use our server to synchronize SMS (other transmission methods work directly, bypassing our server):
Data about SMS passes through our server and is temporarily entered into the database and stored there (SMS older than 3 days are deleted permanently).
The data is stored on a secure and closed server, to which only the developer has access. 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.
Cookies are files with a small amount of data that are commonly used as anonymous unique identifiers. These are sent to your browser from the websites that you visit and are stored on your device's internal memory.
This Service does not use these “cookies” explicitly. However, the app may use third party code and libraries that use “cookies” to collect information and improve their services. You have the option to either accept or refuse these cookies and know when a cookie is being sent to your device. If you choose to refuse our cookies, you may not be able to use some portions of this Service.
