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.

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.
