Privacy Policy

Last Updated: January 22, 2026

Your SMS Gateway (referred to as "we", "us", or "our") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our website, use our self-hosted Android SMS gateway service, or interact with any of our related tools or applications.

Since our service is designed to be self-hosted, most user data (such as SMS messages, contacts, and API interactions) is processed and stored directly on your own server or device. We do not have access to this data unless you explicitly share it with us (e.g., for support purposes).

1. Information We Collect

We collect minimal information to provide and improve our service. The types of information include:

• Personal Information: When you register for an account, subscribe to our newsletter, or contact us, we may collect your name, email address, and any other details you voluntarily provide.
• Usage Data: We collect information about how you use our website, such as IP address, browser type, pages visited, time and date of visits, and referring/exit pages. This helps us understand user behavior and improve the site.
• Device and Log Data: For self-hosted instances, we do not collect this data. However, if you use our optional cloud dashboard or API (if applicable), we may log basic metadata like API key usage or error reports.
• Cookies and Tracking Technologies: Our website uses cookies to enhance your experience (e.g., remembering preferences). You can disable cookies in your browser settings.

We do not collect sensitive data such as your SMS messages, phone numbers, or contact lists unless you explicitly share them for support or troubleshooting.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the collected information for the following purposes:

• To provide, operate, and maintain our website and services.
• To improve our products, features, and user experience.
• To communicate with you (e.g., respond to inquiries, send newsletter updates, or provide service announcements).
• To detect, prevent, and address technical issues or security risks.
• To comply with legal obligations.

3. Sharing Your Information

We do not sell your personal information to third parties. We may share your information only in these limited circumstances:

• Service Providers: With trusted third-party providers (e.g., hosting services, email delivery tools) who assist us in operating the website. These providers are contractually bound to protect your data.
• Legal Requirements: If required by law, court order, or government request.
• Business Transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your information may be transferred as part of the transaction.

Since our core service is self-hosted, your SMS data remains under your control and is not shared with us or any third party.

4. Data Security

We take reasonable measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, loss, or misuse. This includes using secure servers, encryption where applicable, and regular security reviews.

However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your data, we cannot guarantee absolute security.

For self-hosted users: Security depends on your server configuration, firewall settings, and best practices (e.g., using HTTPS, strong passwords).

5. Your Rights and Choices

Depending on your location (including Bangladesh and applicable data protection laws), you may have the following rights:

• Access, update, or delete your personal information.
• Opt out of marketing communications (e.g., unsubscribe from newsletters).
• Request restriction of processing or portability of your data.

To exercise these rights, contact us at [your email address, e.g., support@yourdomain.com].

You can also manage cookies and tracking preferences directly in your browser.

6. Children's Privacy

Our services are not intended for individuals under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If we become aware that we have collected such information, we will take steps to delete it.

7. International Data Transfers

Our website may be hosted in servers outside Bangladesh. By using our services, you consent to the transfer of your information to these locations.

8. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last Updated" date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
