Effective Date: February 25, 2026
Gil Shallem (GilApps) ("we," "our," or "us") built the SMS Backup Print & Restore app as a Freemium service. The trial version is provided at no cost and is intended for use as is. Access to all features may require a purchase or subscription.
This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you use our app ("Service"). By using the Service, you agree to the practices described below.
Information We Access
To provide the Service, we may request access to the following data on your device:
- SMS/MMS/RCS Messages: Used solely to display, back up, print, and export your messages. Message data is stored locally on your device and is not transmitted to our servers.
- Contacts: Accessed only to display contact names and photos alongside your messages. Contact data is not collected or stored by us.
- Storage: Used to save exported backup files and access multimedia message attachments on your device.
Your message data, contacts, and files remain on your device and are not collected, uploaded, or stored on our servers.
Cloud Storage Services
The app may connect to third-party cloud storage services such as Google Drive, Dropbox, and OneDrive at your request. These services are used exclusively for uploading and downloading your backup files. We do not access, read, or use any other data in your cloud storage accounts.
Third-Party Services
The app integrates with third-party services that may collect information used to identify you. These services have their own privacy policies and include:
- Google Play Services
- Google AdMob
- Firebase Analytics
- Firebase Crashlytics
- Google Drive
- Dropbox
- OneDrive
We encourage you to review the privacy policies of these services.
Log Data
In the event of an error, we may collect diagnostic information through third-party services ("Log Data"). This may include your device's IP address, device name, operating system version, app configuration, usage timestamps, and other technical data. This information is used solely for diagnosing and fixing issues.
Cookies
This app does not directly use cookies. However, third-party services integrated with the app may use cookies or similar technologies. You can manage cookie preferences through your device settings.
Data Security
We take reasonable measures to protect your information. However, no method of electronic transmission or storage is completely secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security of your data.
Data Retention and Deletion
Since your personal data (messages, contacts, files) is stored locally on your device, you have full control over it at all times. Uninstalling the app removes all app-related data from your device. Diagnostic and analytics data collected by third-party services is subject to their respective retention policies.
Your Rights
Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to:
- Access the personal data we hold about you
- Request correction or deletion of your data
- Object to or restrict the processing of your data
- Withdraw consent at any time
To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the details below.
Children's Privacy
The Service is not intended for children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If we become aware that a child under 13 has provided personal data, we will delete it promptly. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided personal information, please contact us.
Links to Other Sites
The Service may contain links to external websites not operated by us. We are not responsible for the content or privacy practices of third-party sites and encourage you to review their privacy policies.
Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted within the app and take effect immediately. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
