Privacy Policy

Last updated: March 18, 2026

Your privacy is important to us. This Privacy Policy explains how Auto SMS & SOS ("we", "us", or "our") collects, uses, and protects your information.

1. Permissions & Data Usage

This app requires specific sensitive permissions to function. We use these permissions only to provide the core features of the app. No personal data is sold to third parties.

SMS (Send & View)

Why: To send SOS alerts and auto-replies on your behalf.

Usage: The app sends SMS messages only when triggered by you (SOS) or by an incoming call/SMS when Auto mode is active. We do not read your personal conversations unless required to detect an incoming SMS for auto-replying.

Phone (Read Phone State & Call Log)

Why: To detect incoming, outgoing, and missed calls to trigger auto-replies or SOS alerts.

Usage: We process call events locally to determine if an auto-reply or alert is needed. Call logs are not uploaded to any server.

Location (Background & Fine)

Why: To include your current location coordinates in SOS emergency alerts.

Usage: Location is accessed only when an SOS alert is triggered. It is not tracked continuously in the background for any other purpose.

Contacts

Why: To allow users to select emergency contacts.

Usage: Used strictly for selecting recipients. Contact data is stored locally on your device.

Accessibility Service (Auto WhatsApp)

Why: Used to automate the clicking of the "Send" button in WhatsApp for Auto-Replies and SOS messages.

Usage: This service is strictly used to interact with the WhatsApp interface on your behalf when a message is triggered by your settings. We do not read, listen to, or store any message content or personal data through this service. You can disable this anytime in your phone's Accessibility settings.

Overlay (Display Over Other Apps)

Why: To launch WhatsApp into the foreground from a background state.

Usage: This permission allows the app to securely orchestration the WhatsApp automation flow, ensuring your messages are delivered even when you are using another app or the screen is locked.

2. Data Storage

All sensitive data (message logs, configured contacts, settings) is stored locally on your device. We do not maintain a central server database of your personal communications.

3. Third-Party Services

We may use third-party services that collect anonymous usage data:

4. Children’s Privacy

These Services do not address anyone under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under 13.

5. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. Thus, you are advised to review this page periodically for any changes.
