Thank you for choosing Messages - Text SMS Home (the "Application"), developed by Text Sticker Maker, Love Sticker, 4K Wallpapers (the "Service Provider"). This Privacy Policy explains how the Application accesses, processes, and protects information while providing messaging services on your Android device. It also explains why certain permissions are required and how your information is handled when you use the Application.
The Application is designed to help users send, receive, organize, and manage SMS and MMS conversations while providing convenient messaging tools and related communication features.
By installing or using the Application, you acknowledge that you have read this Privacy Policy and agree to the practices described herein.
To perform its intended functions, the Application may access information already available on your Android device after you grant the necessary permissions.
Depending on the features you use, the Application may access:
The Application uses this information solely to provide messaging functionality, display conversations, organize messages, attach media, and improve your overall messaging experience. The Application does not upload or transmit your contact information to the Service Provider's servers.
Location Data. When you use the weather feature, the App may use a location you manually choose or your device's current coordinates to obtain weather information. To provide the requested forecast, these coordinates are securely sent through our forecast server to Open-Meteo (https://open-meteo.com), a third-party weather data provider. Our forecast server uses the location information only to request weather data on your behalf.
The coordinates are transmitted without your name or account information and are not used by us to determine or establish your identity. Open-Meteo handles the request according to its own privacy practices and terms (https://open-meteo.com/en/terms).
Before location coordinates are shared with Open-Meteo for the first time, the App will request your consent. If you do not provide consent, your coordinates will not be sent to Open-Meteo and the weather forecast feature will not be available. You can provide consent later through the App if you previously declined.
Any locations you save in the App are kept locally on your device and are not uploaded to our servers.
The Application has been designed to process messaging data primarily on your own device. SMS messages, MMS conversations, attachments, contact associations, and related communication information remain stored on your device unless you choose to delete them.
