Privacy policy

1Privacy Comes First

Nobody enjoys handing out their personal phone number to every website on the internet.

That's one of the reasons SMSAPE exists.

This Privacy Policy explains what information may be processed when you use SMSAPE, visit smsape.com, create an account, purchase virtual numbers, or receive SMS verification codes through our platform.

We only use information that's necessary to operate the service, secure accounts, process payments, and deliver messages where they belong.

Nothing more.

2Legal Compliance

SMSAPE follows applicable privacy and data protection requirements where they apply.

Depending on your location, this may include principles found in:

• General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)
• California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA)
• Other applicable privacy laws

Our approach is simple: collect less, keep it secure, and use it only for legitimate business purposes.

3Changes To This Policy

Technology changes. Laws change. Sometimes services change too.

When that happens, we may update this Privacy Policy.

The latest version will always be published on this page, along with the date it became effective.

By continuing to use SMSAPE after an updated version is posted, you agree to the revised policy.

4Information We Process

We Believe In Data Minimization

We don't collect information simply because it's available.

Every piece of information processed by SMSAPE serves a purpose. Usually that purpose is one of the following:

• Keeping your account operational
• Delivering SMS messages
• Processing payments
• Preventing abuse and fraud
• Responding to support requests

Account Information

When you register an account, we may process:

• Your email address
• Encrypted password credentials
• Login and session identifiers
• Security-related account activity

Your password is never stored in plain text.

Number Activations

When you order a virtual number, we may record:

• Activation status
• Order timestamps
• Assigned virtual number
• Service selection
• Routing information required for SMS delivery

Without these records, the activation simply wouldn't work.

SMS Messages

SMS verification codes are processed for delivery to your dashboard.

Messages are not sold, analyzed for advertising purposes, or used to build marketing profiles.

They exist for one reason only: so you can receive the code you requested.

After delivery, messages are periodically removed from active systems according to operational requirements.

Payment Records

When you add funds to your account, we maintain transaction records for accounting, fraud prevention, and dispute resolution purposes.

SMSAPE does not receive or store complete payment card information, crypto wallet seeds, or other sensitive payment credentials.

Those details remain with the payment providers that process transactions.

5Third-Party Service Providers

Running a reliable online platform requires help from trusted infrastructure providers.

We carefully limit the information shared with each provider.

Network & Security Services

Services such as Cloudflare help protect SMSAPE from attacks, spam traffic, and malicious activity.

These providers may process:

• IP addresses
• Browser information
• Request logs
• Connection timestamps

They do not receive access to your account password or SMS inbox contents.

Payment Providers

Payment processors handle deposits and financial transactions.

Their handling of payment information is governed by their own privacy and compliance policies.

Email Delivery Providers

We use transactional email providers to send:

• Verification emails
• Password reset messages
• Security notifications
• Important service announcements

They process only the information necessary to deliver those messages.

6How We Use Information

To Operate SMSAPE

Most processing happens for straightforward reasons:

• Assigning virtual numbers
• Delivering SMS messages
• Managing balances
• Maintaining account access
• Displaying activation history

To Protect The Platform

Fraud, abuse, and automated attacks hurt everyone.

We use technical signals and platform activity patterns to identify suspicious behavior and keep the service reliable for legitimate users.

What We Don't Do

We do not:

• Sell personal information
• Rent user data
• Share data with advertising networks
• Build advertising profiles
• Monetize SMS content

Your information is not our product.

7Your Privacy Rights

Depending on your location, you may have the right to:

• Request access to your personal data
• Correct inaccurate information
• Request deletion of your account
• Restrict certain types of processing
• Object to specific processing activities

To exercise these rights, contact our support team.

Privacy-related requests receive priority review whenever possible.

8Cookies & Local Storage

SMSAPE uses a limited number of cookies and similar technologies.

They help us:

• Keep you signed in
• Remember account preferences
• Maintain security controls
• Prevent abuse

Blocking these technologies is your choice, but some parts of the platform may stop functioning correctly.

9Security Measures

We take security seriously.

Information is protected using industry-standard safeguards, including:

• Encryption in transit
• Protected storage systems
• Access controls
• Authentication requirements
• Ongoing security monitoring

No online service can guarantee absolute security, but protecting user information remains a constant priority.

If a data breach ever requires notification under applicable law, affected users will be informed as required.

10Age Requirement

SMSAPE is intended for adults.

You must be at least 18 years old, or the legal age of majority in your jurisdiction, to use the service.

We do not knowingly collect information from minors.

If we learn that a minor has provided personal information, we will take reasonable steps to remove it.
