Publisher: Work Stream Global
Effective Date: August 4, 2026

Work Stream Global ("we," "us," or "our") built and publishes Messages : SMS Texting Home (the "App" or "Service") on the Google Play Store. This Privacy Policy describes what information the App collects, how it is used, and the choices available to you. By installing or using the App, you agree to the terms outlined below.

  • Location data (precise or approximate) — only if you grant this permission

1.2 Usage & Device Information

We automatically collect certain technical data, such as device model, operating system version, IP address, mobile carrier/network details, and in-app activity (session duration, feature usage, and crash/error logs).

1.3 Messaging Data

As a texting application, the App accesses SMS content, contacts, and phone state solely to deliver core messaging features—sending, receiving, displaying, and organizing texts. This data is processed locally on your device and is not sold or shared with third parties for advertising purposes.

1.4 Cookies & Similar Technologies

The App and any associated web properties may use cookies, pixels, or similar tracking tools (session, preference, and security cookies) to operate reliably and improve performance. Cookies can typically be disabled in browser settings, though doing so may limit certain features.

  • Operate, maintain, and deliver the App's features

  • Provide customer support when requested
  • Analyze usage to improve performance and user experience
  • Identify, troubleshoot, and resolve technical issues
  • Meet applicable legal and regulatory obligations

4. Sharing & Disclosure of Information

We do not sell your personal data. Limited sharing may occur with:

  • Service providers who support App operations (for example, analytics vendors), all bound by confidentiality obligations
  • Legal or regulatory authorities, where required by law, to protect our legal rights, or to ensure user safety

5. Third-Party Services

The App integrates the following third-party services, each governed by its own privacy policy:

  • Google Analytics — policies.google.com/privacy
  • Firebase — firebase.google.com/support/privacy
  • Google AdMob — used for advertising and remarketing

6. International Data Transfers

Your data may be transferred to, stored, and processed in countries other than your own, including the United States. We take reasonable steps to safeguard your information consistent with this Policy regardless of where it is processed.

7. Data Security

We apply commercially reasonable safeguards to protect your data. However, no method of electronic transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute protection.

8. Children's Privacy

Messages : SMS Texting Home is not directed at, or intended for use by, children under 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has shared data with us, please contact us so we can promptly remove it.
