"App Permissions: READ_CONTACTS, READ_SMS, SEND_SMS, RECEIVE_SMS, RECEIVE_MMS, CALL_PHONE, READ_PHONE_STATE, READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE, WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE, RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED. We use your Device and installed Applications data for Appmatrica Analytics to analyze app's performance and crashes."

The app requests an extremely broad set of permissions including reading contacts, SMS messages, phone state, and external storage, plus collects installed app lists — far beyond what a messaging app requires for core functionality.

"Our app gathers device identifiers, location, network info, and usage stats for analysis and market research by partners, including data such as operating system, GPS coordinates, network SSID/BSSID, device details, carrier info, and locale. When this app is in use (or running in the background) we collect and share with our business partners the following device and location data: Precise location data of the device, WiFi signals or Bluetooth Low Energy devices in your proximity."

The app collects precise GPS coordinates, WiFi SSID/BSSID, and Bluetooth signals both in the foreground and background, sharing this location data with numerous third-party partners including Outlogic, Huq, Cuebiq, and Monedata.

"This app uses third-party addons that collect varied data, which may include device identifiers, location, mobile network coverage and performance, installed apps list and usage stats. With the user's consent, this data will be collected and shared with those third-parties for analysis and measurement purposes. A list of our third-party partners can be: Teragence, Complementics, honeygain, Cell Rebel, m2catalyst."

The app embeds a staggering number of third-party SDKs — Monedata, Outlogic, Huq, Low Lag Labs, Cuebiq, Massive, AdMob, AppLovin, Liftoff, Mintegral, InMobi, Meta Audience Network, Microsoft Clarity, Firebase, AppMetrica, OneSignal — each independently collecting user data from the device.

"We use re-marketing and targeted advertising services, including Google Ads and other similar platforms, to promote our app and reach users who have previously interacted with our service. These services allow us and our advertising partners to show relevant ads to you on third-party websites, apps, and platforms based on your past visits or activity. Our advertising partners may use cookies, identifiers, and similar tracking technologies to deliver ads that are more relevant to your interests."

The app uses advertising identifiers (AAID/IDFA), remarketing pixels, and behavioral retargeting across multiple ad networks to track users across apps, websites, and platforms, building cross-context profiles of user behavior.

"We retain your personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law."

The retention policy provides no specific timelines or deletion schedules, using open-ended language that effectively allows indefinite retention of personal data including message content and location history.

"We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page, and the 'Effective Date' at the top will reflect the latest revision. We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed about how we are protecting your information."

The company can change the privacy policy at any time with no requirement to notify users directly — users are merely 'encouraged' to check the page themselves, and continued use constitutes acceptance.

"Yes, our app offers optional subscriptions that provide access to premium features or enhanced functionality. Users can choose to subscribe through in-app purchases. All payments are handled securely via the respective app store (Google Play)."

The policy mentions subscriptions but provides no details about auto-renewal terms, pricing, billing cycles, or how to cancel — leaving users without clear information about recurring charges.
