App: Messages: SMS Text Launcher

Efective date: August 27, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how the developer of Messages: SMS Text Launcher ("we", "us", or "our") collects, uses, shares, and protects information when you use our mobile application (the "App"). The App is an SMS/MMS messaging app with related features such as caller identification and notifications. By downloading or using the App, you agree to the practices described in this policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the App.

1. Information We Collect

  • Information you provide – if you contact support or fill in optional fields, we may receive your name, email address, and the content of your request.
  • Messages and contacts – to work as your messaging app, the App accesses your SMS/MMS messages and your contacts on your device. Message content is used to provide messaging features (displaying, sending, receiving, organizing, and notifying you about messages). We do not sell your messages or contacts.
  • Call information – with your permission, call state and call log information is used to provide caller identification and call-related features.
  • Location data – with your permission, approximate or precise location may be used for location-based features and, where you consent, for advertising and analytics purposes. You can decline or revoke the location permission at any time.
  • Device and usage data – device model, operating system version, app version, language, region, IP address, advertising identifier, crash reports and diagnostics, feature usage, and ad interaction data.
  • App usage information – if you grant the Usage Access permission in system settings, the App reads general app usage information on your device to support its launcher and usage-related features.

2. Permissions We Request

The App requests only the permissions needed for its features:

  • READ_SMS, SEND_SMS, RECEIVE_SMS, RECEIVE_MMS – send, receive, and display your SMS/MMS messages so the App can function as your messaging app.
  • READ_CONTACTS, WRITE_CONTACTS – show who you are messaging and match incoming calls to your saved contacts.
  • READ_PHONE_STATE, CALL_PHONE, FOREGROUND_SERVICE_PHONE_CALL – provide caller identification and call-related features.
  • ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION, ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION – enable optional location-based features, only with your permission.
  • CAMERA – capture photos to attach in messages.
  • READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE – access device storage to select images, videos, or files.
  • READ_MEDIA_IMAGES – access images on the device for messaging.
  • PACKAGE_USAGE_STATS (Usage Access) – a special permission you grant separately in system settings, used to read general app usage information on your device to support the App's launcher and usage-related features.
  • POST_NOTIFICATIONS – alert you about new messages and blocked or missed activity.
  • INTERNET, ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE, WAKE_LOCK, RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED, SCHEDULE_EXACT_ALARM, REQUEST_IGNORE_BATTERY_OPTIMIZATIONS – system permissions used to deliver your messages and notifications reliably, even after a device restart.

You can revoke any permission at any time in your device settings; doing so may limit the related feature.

3. Why We Collect Data

We use the information described above to provide and operate the App's messaging and caller ID features, deliver notifications, maintain and improve the App, fix bugs and crashes, understand overall usage through analytics, show and measure advertising (which keeps the App free), process any in-app purchases, respond to support requests, and comply with legal obligations.

4. Sharing Your Information

We do not sell your personal messages or contacts. We share data only with the service providers listed in this policy (analytics, advertising, notifications, and billing providers), and only as needed for them to provide their services; with authorities where disclosure is required by law; and in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, in which case this policy will continue to apply to your data. Data may be processed in countries other than your own, with appropriate safeguards where required.

5. Analytics Services

The App uses third-party analytics services to understand how the App is used and to improve it:

  • Google Analytics
  • Firebase (analytics and crash reporting)
  • AppMetrica
  • Microsoft Clarity
  • Apptopia

Each of these providers processes data under its own privacy policy.

6. Advertising Services

The App is free to use and is supported by advertising. Ads may be served by third-party ad networks, including:

  • Google AdMob and Google Ad Manager
  • AppLovin
  • Meta Audience Network
  • InMobi
  • ironSource
  • Unity Ads
  • Mintegral
  • Liftoff Monetize
  • Appvestor

These networks may use your advertising identifier and related technical data to serve ads, including personalized ads where you have consented or where permitted by law.

Your advertising choices: you can opt out of personalized advertising in your device settings (reset or delete your advertising ID, or turn off ads personalization); manage Google ad settings at https://adssettings.google.com; manage Meta ad settings at https://www.facebook.com/ads/settings; opt out of InMobi at https://www.inmobi.com/page/opt-out/; and review Mintegral's choices at https://www.mintegral.com/en/privacy/.

7. Notifications

The App may use OneSignal and iZooto to deliver push notifications. You can turn notifications off at any time in your device settings.

8. In-App Purchases and Billing

If the App offers in-app purchases or subscriptions, payments are processed by the Google Play billing system, and purchases may be managed through RevenueCat. We do not receive or store your full payment card details. Purchase records are retained as required for legal, tax, and accounting purposes.

9. Legal Bases for Processing (EEA, UK & Switzerland)

If you are in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland, we process your data on the following legal bases: your consent (for example, for personalized ads or optional permissions); performance of a contract (providing the App's features you request); our legitimate interests (maintaining, securing, and improving the App); and compliance with legal obligations.

Support emails are kept as long as needed to handle your request; analytics and crash data are retained per each provider's settings; consent records are kept to honor your privacy choices.

14. Children's Privacy
