Color SMS ("us", "we", or "our") operates the mobile application (the "Service"). This page informs you of our policies regarding the collection, use, and disclosure of personal data when you use our Service and the choices you have associated with that data.
We use your data to provide and improve the Service. By using the Service, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.
We do not require users to create an account to use our Services. We may use your encrypted phone number as a way to privately collect metadata required by Rich Communication Services (RCS), such as message delivery, read receipts, and typing indicators. We do not store the content of your communications on our servers.
We do not collect contact information by default. You may voluntarily provide your email address when submitting a bug report or contacting support.
Color SMS requires certain permissions to provide messaging features:
We do not store your messages, personal data, images, videos, or audio files on our servers. We do not sell your personal information. Any information collected is solely used to provide messaging functionality.
We may use your phone number and SIM information to facilitate message sending, receiving, and dual-SIM support. Contact phone numbers are used only to display and select recipients for messaging.
We may request information from third-party content providers on your behalf. Requests are made through isolated sessions to prevent long-term tracking or profile creation through cookies or similar technologies.
Our servers may automatically collect anonymous log information generated when connecting to our Services. Such data does not include your IP address, phone number, user identity, location, device model, carrier, or other personally identifiable information.
We use trusted third-party providers to help operate our Services, including:
Analytics providers may collect pseudonymous information about your device, including device brand, model, operating system, installed application packages, and software features. Such information cannot be used by us to identify you personally.
Color SMS displays advertisements. Advertising partners may collect information related to ad impressions, clicks, fraud prevention, and ad personalization.
Information collected by advertising providers may include:
Current advertising providers may include Google AdMob, Twitter MoPub, Facebook Audience Network, and Smaato.
Users who do not consent to personalized advertising may still see non-personalized ads.
In compliance with GDPR and CCPA, users are provided with privacy consent options within the application. Consent may be revoked at any time by clearing app data or reinstalling the application.
Users may also reset their Android Advertising ID or contact advertising providers directly to exercise their privacy rights.
We may preserve or disclose information when reasonably necessary to comply with legal obligations, protect user safety, resolve technical issues, or protect our rights.
In the event of a merger, acquisition, reorganization, bankruptcy, or sale of assets, anonymized usage and log information may be transferred to the acquiring entity. This Privacy Policy will continue to apply to transferred information.
We take commercially reasonable measures to protect your information. However, no method of electronic storage or internet transmission can be guaranteed to be 100% secure.
We comply with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 years old.
In the European Economic Area (EEA), our Services are not directed toward children under the age of 16. If a parent or guardian believes that a child has provided personal information, please contact us so that we can take appropriate action.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Material changes will be communicated through the Service or by other appropriate means. Continued use of the Service after such changes constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
