Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy describes how Francium Tech collects, uses, and protects information obtained from users of the Forward SMS mobile application. This policy applies to the app and its services provided through the Google Play Store.

Forward SMS may collect the following user information:

SMS Messages: The app requires access to receive and forward SMS messages from the user's device to a designated recipient chosen by the user.
Device Information: Forward SMS may collect device information, including but not limited to, device model, operating system version, and unique device identifiers. This information is used solely for app optimization and technical purposes.

Permissions

Forward SMS requires the following permissions for its core functionality:

RECEIVE_SMS Permission: This permission enables the app to monitor and intercept incoming SMS messages on the user's device for the purpose of forwarding them as designated by the user.
SEND_SMS Permission: This permission allows the app to compose and send SMS messages from the user's device to the designated recipient specified by the user.
READ_PHONE_STATE Permission: Access to this permission is necessary to identify the user's mobile number, enabling the user to select the SIM card whose messages will be forwarded.
READ_CONTACTS Permission: Access to this permission is necessary for retrieving contact information associated with received SMS. This enables the application to identify the sender of the SMS and add their name as details in the forwarded message.

Managing Permissions

The permissions will be requested by the app at run time and it will also describe the reason it is being requested. Only those permissions will be requested which are required for the proper functioning of the app. Users can manage the permission from app details in the phone settings.
