General
AlRight Messages ("the App") is developed by one main developer, with a few people helping from time to time, mostly with translations.
This Privacy Policy ("Policy") describes how information obtained from users is collected, used, and disclosed.
By using AlRight Messages, you agree that your personal information will be handled as described in this Policy.
❗ Core Privacy Principle: Your private message content (SMS/MMS text), contact list, and phone numbers are processed exclusively on your device (on-device). No personal message content or extracted phone numbers are transmitted to external servers. Internet access is used only for necessary network services (sending MMS, processing in-app purchases).
1.1. Device Phone Number - Collection for Local Display
Data Collected: Your mobile phone number(s) associated with your device's SIM card(s).
Purpose of Collection: We collect your phone number solely to display it in the app's user interface for convenient SIM card selection when sending messages.
Processing Method: This collection and use occurs locally on your device. Your phone number is never transmitted, uploaded, or stored on our servers.
Permission: READ_PHONE_STATE (optional but required for multi-SIM functionality).
1.2. SMS/MMS Messages and Phone Number Extraction
Data Accessed: Full content of your SMS/MMS messages, including message text and phone numbers of senders/recipients.
Purposes and Processing:
Automatic OTP Code Extraction: The App reads SMS messages to automatically detect One-Time Passwords (OTP) and copy them to your device's clipboard. This analysis happens locally.
Phone Number Extraction from SMS: The App extracts phone numbers contained within SMS messages to allow you to easily copy them. This extraction happens locally and is not transmitted.
Key Guarantee: All SMS data processing is performed strictly on your device. Your message content and extracted phone numbers are never sent over the internet or to external servers.
Sending MMS: To send multimedia messages, the App uses your mobile network/internet connection via standard carrier protocols. We do not intercept or store MMS content.
Permission: READ_SMS (essential for core functionality).
1.3. Contacts (Optional Functionality)
Data Accessed: Contact names and phone numbers from your address book.
Purpose: To display contact names and provide contact suggestions in the messaging interface.
Processing: Accessed locally only. Your contact data never leaves your device.
Permission: READ_CONTACTS (entirely optional).
1.4. Clipboard Data
Data: Information you copy using the App's features (OTP codes, phone numbers).
Note: Copied data is placed in your device's system clipboard, which may be accessible by other apps. We have no control over data once it leaves our App via the clipboard.
1.5. Internet Access Usage
The App requires internet access only for:
Sending and receiving MMS (as required by mobile networks).
Processing in-app purchases through Google Play Billing.
These operations do not involve transmitting your SMS content, contact data, or phone numbers.
Local-Only Processing: All personal data (SMS/MMS content, contact list, device phone number) is processed and stored only on your device. It is not uploaded to our servers or shared with third parties.
No Cloud Storage: We operate no servers that store your private message content or contact information.
Device Security: The security of data on your device depends on your device's security features. We recommend keeping your operating system updated.
The App uses:
Google Play Billing for in-app purchases (see Google Payments Privacy Notice).
The App does not use third-party analytics or advertising services that collect user data.
We may update this Policy. Changes will be reflected in the "Last updated" date. Please review periodically.
