Privacy Policy

Effective date: 9 November 2026

This policy explains what information the SMS Secure: Backup & Private app for Android handles, why it is used, and what choices you have. The app is part of InfoLife and run by Pii Mobile Limited.

Quick summary

• Your messages never go to our servers. We do not have a server that stores them.
• Backups are saved only in the folder you choose. You do not need an account.
• Sorting, verification code detection and the private area all work on your phone.
• The app may show ads. Ad and analytics partners receive some information about your phone and how you use the app, but never your messages or contacts.

What stays only on your phone?

The app reads your text and picture messages so that it can back them up and show them to you. If you make it your SMS app, it also stores, sorts, sends and deletes messages for you. It reads your contacts only to show names next to numbers.

Messages and contacts are processed only on your phone. They are never uploaded to us, sold, shared with advertisers, or used to choose ads.

Private conversations are kept in the app's own encrypted storage on your phone and are removed from the phone's normal message store while they are private.

Your backup files

Each backup is a file in the folder you pick. If you pick a folder in a cloud storage service, that file is handled by that service under its own terms. If you set a backup password, the file is encrypted with it. We never receive your password, so we cannot recover it for you.

What information is collected and why?

When you use the app, tools built into the app collect the following from your phone:

• Device and app information: your phone model, Android version, language and app version.
• Identifiers: resettable or random IDs, such as your Android advertising ID and random app installation IDs.
• Approximate location: your general area (such as your country), estimated from your IP address.
• How you use the app and interact with ads: which screens you open, how often you use the app, and whether you see or tap ads.
• Crash information: technical details about what the app was doing if it crashes. Message content is not included.

This information is used to show and measure ads, prevent ad fraud, understand how the app is used so we can improve it, and find and fix crashes.

Who receives this information?

Advertising partners and analytics and crash reporting providers, including Google. From them we receive only aggregated reports that do not single you out, along with crash reports. Data sent from your phone is encrypted in transit.

Why are we allowed to use this information?

• Showing ads: where the law requires it, we rely on your consent. Otherwise we rely on our legitimate interest in funding the free app.
• Usage and crash reports: we rely on our legitimate interest in keeping the app working well.
• Handling your messages and backups: this is needed to provide what you asked the app to do.

What choices do you have?

• You can change ad privacy choices in the app where consent is required, and reset or delete your advertising ID in your phone's settings.
• You can remove the app's access to your messages or contacts at any time in Android settings.
• You can delete backup files from your folder at any time.
• You can uninstall the app to stop all collection. Private conversations are stored only inside the app, so move them back or back them up first, or they will be lost.

How long is information kept and how can it be deleted?

Backups stay in your folder until you delete them. Everything the app keeps on your phone is deleted when you clear its data or uninstall it. Because we do not use accounts, we usually cannot tell which analytics or crash data came from your phone. To ask us to delete data, email support@infolife.mobi.

What are your privacy rights?

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, delete or restrict your personal data, to object to its use, to withdraw consent, and to complain to your local privacy regulator. We do not sell your personal information. To use any of these rights, please contact us.

Is the app meant for children?

The app is not aimed at children under 13 (or the minimum age in your country), and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

How will you know if this policy changes?

We may update this policy. The effective date above shows when the latest version took effect.
