1. Introduction

Welcome to SMS Launcher ("App", "we", "our", or "us"). We respect your privacy and recognize the importance of protecting personal information, including messages, phone numbers, contacts, and other information associated with your Android device.

SMS Launcher is designed to provide SMS messaging functionality and may include supported launcher features to help users access and manage applications on their devices.

This Privacy Policy explains what information the App may access, how information is used, how data may be stored or shared, and the privacy choices available to users.

2. Information We May Access

Depending on the functions enabled and permissions granted, SMS Launcher may access or process the following information:

• SMS Messages: Message content, sender and recipient phone numbers, timestamps, and message status.
• MMS Messages: Multimedia messages and associated attachments where MMS functionality is supported.
• Contacts: Contact names and phone numbers for supported messaging and contact selection features.
• Phone Numbers: Numbers required to send messages, display conversations, and identify message recipients.
• Message Metadata: Delivery status, conversation identifiers, timestamps, and information required for messaging operations.
• Installed Applications: Application names, icons, and package identifiers when required for supported launcher functionality.
• Application Preferences: Messaging settings, appearance options, launcher layouts, and user-selected preferences.
• Device and Diagnostic Information: Technical information processed by integrated analytics, crash-reporting, or advertising services, if applicable.

The information processed depends on the features available in your version of the application and the permissions you provide.

3. SMS Permissions

SMS Launcher may request access to SMS-related permissions to provide its core messaging functionality when registered as the Android default SMS application.

Depending on supported features, these permissions may include:

• READ_SMS: Read SMS messages to display and manage conversations.
• RECEIVE_SMS: Receive incoming SMS messages.
• SEND_SMS: Send messages initiated by users through the messaging interface.
• RECEIVE_MMS: Receive multimedia messages where MMS is supported.
• RECEIVE_WAP_PUSH: Process supported MMS-related notifications where required.

SMS-related permissions are intended to support the App's core messaging functionality and must be used only in accordance with applicable Android and Google Play requirements.

Where required, the App must be registered as the default SMS handler before requesting or using restricted SMS permissions.

SMS access must stop when the App is no longer the active default SMS handler, except where an explicitly approved policy exception applies.

4. Default SMS Application

SMS Launcher may request to become your default SMS application to provide supported SMS sending, receiving, and conversation management functionality.

Selecting SMS Launcher as the default messaging application is a user-controlled action through Android's supported system interface.

Users may change their default SMS application through Android settings.

When SMS Launcher is no longer the default SMS handler, it must stop using permissions restricted to the default SMS handler.

5. SMS Message Content and Privacy

SMS messages may contain sensitive or confidential information. We recognize the importance of handling such information responsibly.

Message content and associated metadata are processed for supported messaging operations, such as displaying conversations, sending user-initiated messages, receiving messages, and managing conversation history.

SMS content must not be sold or shared with advertising networks or data brokers for advertising, profiling, or unrelated commercial purposes.

Any transmission of message content outside the device must be limited to legitimate messaging operations or other clearly disclosed and permitted functionality.

Users should avoid sharing sensitive information through messages when they do not trust the intended recipient.

6. Contacts Permission

If contact integration is supported, the App may request access to your contacts to help identify message senders, display contact names, and allow selection of message recipients.

Contact information must be used only for legitimate, disclosed functionality.

Contact information must not be sold or used for unrelated advertising or marketing purposes.

Users may manage supported contact permissions through Android settings.

7. Sending and Receiving Messages

SMS Launcher may use supported Android messaging functionality to send and receive SMS or MMS messages.

Messages sent through your mobile network may be subject to carrier charges based on your mobile service provider and plan.

Message delivery depends on network availability, carrier services, recipient information, and device configuration.

We do not guarantee delivery of every message.

8. Message Storage and Retention

Message history and conversation information may be maintained in the Android messaging database or other application storage according to the functionality implemented.

Deleting conversations through supported application controls may remove the selected information according to Android system behavior and the App's implemented deletion process.

Uninstalling the App does not necessarily delete SMS messages stored in the Android system messaging database.

If third-party providers process diagnostic or other information, their applicable privacy policies and retention settings may also apply.

9. Android Launcher Functionality

SMS Launcher may provide launcher-related features that help users access and organize applications installed on their Android devices.

Where implemented, launcher functionality may include displaying installed applications, opening apps, showing application icons, and customizing supported home screen settings.

The App may access installed application names, icons, and package identifiers where necessary for supported launcher functions.

Installed application inventory must not be sold or shared for advertising or analytics monetization.

10. Default Home Launcher

If the App supports Android home launcher functionality, users may choose SMS Launcher as their default home application through Android's system interface.

The selection is controlled by the user. Users can change their preferred launcher through supported Android settings.

SMS messaging permissions and default home launcher permissions serve different purposes and must be handled according to their applicable requirements.

11. Notifications

The App may provide notifications about incoming messages, conversation activity, or other supported messaging events.

Depending on the Android version, notification permission may be requested.

Notifications may include message previews or sender information according to the App's functionality and user-selected notification settings.

Users can manage notifications through Android settings.

12. Photos and Media

If supported, the App may allow users to select images or other media to include in multimedia messages or messaging conversations.

Access to media should be limited to user-requested functionality and applicable Android permissions.

Media attachments may be processed or transmitted as necessary to complete user-initiated multimedia messaging operations.

13. How We Use Information

• Sending and receiving SMS messages.

Where required by applicable law, the App must provide appropriate advertising consent choices.

16. Information Sharing

Information may be shared with service providers only where required for legitimate, disclosed functionality, permitted technical services, or applicable legal obligations.

Message transmission to intended recipients and relevant messaging infrastructure may occur as part of user-requested SMS or MMS communication.

Information sharing must comply with applicable Android requirements, Google Play policies, and privacy laws.

17. Data Security

We aim to use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect information processed by the App.

However, no electronic storage or communication method is completely secure.

SMS transmission over mobile networks is subject to the security characteristics of the underlying carrier infrastructure.

Users should exercise caution when exchanging sensitive information through SMS.

18. Data Deletion

Users may manage messages and conversations through supported Android messaging functions.

Users may also clear application storage or uninstall the App through Android settings.

Clearing application storage or uninstalling the App may not remove messages maintained in the Android system messaging database or information already delivered to recipients.
