Forward and Sync SMS forwards SMS to Email, Telegram, or cloud for cross-device access. RECEIVE_SMS is needed for real-time forwarding, enabled by user consent in settings. Data is used only for this, per our Privacy Policy.
Why SMS Permissions Are Essential:
The app requires the RECEIVE_SMS permission to fulfill its primary purpose—forwarding SMS messages instantly as they arrive. Without this permission, the app cannot perform its main task of real-time message synchronization across devices, which is critical for users who rely on this feature for communication and productivity.
Data Usage and Privacy:
- The app uses SMS data solely to enable this cross-device forwarding service and does not store, share, or sell it to third parties for any commercial purposes.
- SMS messages are securely transmitted to https://sms2mail.net, a trusted server, only to facilitate delivery to your specified Email or Telegram account. No additional data (e.g., contacts) is collected or retained.
- Users must explicitly enable SMS forwarding in the app settings, ensuring they understand and consent to the data use.
Requested Permissions:
- RECEIVE_SMS: Allows the app to detect and forward incoming SMS messages in real-time.
- POST_NOTIFICATIONS: Enables status notifications to keep users informed about app activity.
Privacy Commitment:
- This app requires SMS read permissions (RECEIVE_SMS) only to transfer messages as described.
- No personal data, messages, or contacts are saved or shared beyond the forwarding process.
- By using this app, you agree to our Privacy Policy: https://sms2mail.net/private_policy_sms2web.htm (also accessible within the app).
We value your privacy and are committed to using your data responsibly to deliver the promised service.
