At SpamStrike, we realize the importance of privacy, security, and accuracy as it relates to your SMS messages. While we do require you to allow our platform to view and manage your Messages application, we do not take this permission lightly.

SMS Privacy:

• We ensure your privacy by only storing anonymized SMS content sent from numbers outside of your contacts. Apple shares message content with SpamStrike anonymously and does not allow Spamstrike to know which user is associated with messages shared with us or see messages from any senders that are in your contacts. Spamstrike simply processes messages from unknown senders to determine whether they are spam and shares such information with Apple to associate the message with a given user and place it in the appropriate message folder. Spamstrike does not store any identifying information about you or your iPhone alongside the spam content, which is used purely for aggregated reporting purposes (like the dashboard you see in the app).

Message routing:

• While we cannot guarantee that all messages will be correctly marked as spam and removed from your inbox, we will not touch any messages from senders in your contacts. Similarly, it is possible that SpamStike will not route messages that are spam to a spam folder in your messages app.

Your trust is important to us, and we go the extra mile to ensure your information remains secure and minimize the number of missed spam SMS messages.

SpamStike Privacy Policy

If you have any questions or need more information about our privacy policy, please contact us via email at hello@spamstrike.com. We prioritize the privacy of our users and visitors. This privacy policy outlines the types of personal information we collect and how we use it:

Log Files

Like many other apps, we utilize log files to track visits and activity on the app. These files include standard information such as internet protocol (IP) addresses, device type, operating system (OS), date/time stamp, referring/exit pages, and the number of clicks. This data is used for analysis, application administration, trend tracking, and demographic information. 

Personal Data

During sign-up or continued use of the app, we may collect and store the following personal information related to your profile and messages:

• Phone number

• Apple ID

• Country

• Inbound SMS information from senders outside of your contacts. Information such as sender phone number, SMS content, and metadata (message content, images, links) is shared with our system, but such information is anonymously shared with our system and not linked to your account

• Spam keywords added or removed by users

We do not sell your data to or share it with any third parties. We do not continue to store any of this data if you decide to delete your profile on request. If you want to delete your profile or data, please email hello@spamstrike.com

Personal Data Deletion

You can delete all data associated with your account in one of two ways:

Account Deletion: You can permanently delete your account by emailing SpamStrike at hello@spamstrike.com.

Data Deletion Request: Alternatively, you can send a request for data deletion to hello@spamstrike.com. In the email, use the subject “Delete Data Request” and include your account's username. We will respond with next steps to verify you as the account creator before manually removing any content and information uploaded to SpamStrike’s servers by you.

Deleting Account

You can permanently delete your account by emailing SpamStrike at hello@spamstrike.com. Once your account is deleted, your access to the account will be removed and any content generated by that account will be removed from our servers, the user-facing app, and web page.

Ads

While there are currently no ads on our app, there might be ads in the future. Any changes to this policy will be updated, and users will be notified in advance of such changes.

Children's Information

We prioritize the protection of children online. We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information or explicit relating to children under the age of 13. If you believe that we have such information in our database, please contact us immediately, and we will make efforts to promptly remove it.

Contacts

SpamStrike may access your contacts to determine if inbound messages should be marked as spam. We will never contact your contacts or share your information without your permission.

Online Privacy Policy Only

This privacy policy applies to online activities and is valid for users of our app. It does not apply to information collected offline or through channels other than this app.

Consent

By using our app, you consent to our privacy policy and agree to its terms.
