Privacy, plainly.

01 Scope & Overview

This Privacy Policy applies to all mobile applications, software tools, and digital services published or operated by Labs Practical (legal entity / developer: Neet Dev Singh) on the Google Play Store, including SMSManager (package name: com.nds.smsmanager) and associated utilities.

At Labs Practical, we prioritize user data privacy and security. We build local-first applications designed to keep your personal information under your control. We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to third parties or advertising networks.

02 Information We Access & Process

Depending on the specific application and features you utilize, our applications may access or process the following data types:

A. On-Device & Core Application Data

• SMS & Messaging Data (READ_SMS, RECEIVE_SMS, SEND_SMS, RECEIVE_WAP_PUSH): Used in messaging applications (such as SMSManager) to display conversation threads, process incoming messages, format replies, and categorize messages locally on your device.
  No Cloud Storage: All messaging content remains stored locally within Android's native system provider on your device and is not uploaded or synchronized to remote servers.
• Contacts (READ_CONTACTS): Used to resolve phone numbers to contact names and profile photos, and allow recipient selection when composing messages or starting new conversations.
• Location Data (ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION, ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION): Accessed strictly on an optional, one-time basis when you explicitly trigger location-sharing features. Location data is not collected continuously or in the background.

B. Technical & Diagnostic Information

• Device & OS Identifiers: Basic information such as device model, Android OS version, app version, language preference, and error reports required to ensure app stability and fix technical bugs.

03 How We Use Information

We process information accessed by our applications strictly to:

• Provide core app features and user-requested capabilities.
• Execute user-initiated actions (such as sending SMS messages, looking up contacts, or sharing location).
• Ensure application security, performance, and compatibility across Android devices.
• Comply with Google Play Developer Policies and applicable legal regulations.

04 Data Sharing & Third Parties

• No Sale of Data: We do not sell, rent, trade, or monetize your personal information.
• No Ad Networks / Tracking: Our utility applications (including SMSManager) are ad-free and do not include third-party advertising or cross-app tracking SDKs.
• System Frameworks: Applications utilize official Android System APIs and Google Play Services (such as Google Play Services Location API) solely to render system features.

05 Permissions & User Control

You maintain full control over all requested permissions:

• Permission Management: You can grant or revoke permissions (such as SMS, Contacts, Location, or Notifications) at any time via Android System Settings (Settings > Apps > [App Name] > Permissions).
• Data Deletion & Uninstall: Deleting messages or uninstalling the application completely removes local application data from your device.

06 Children's Privacy

Our applications are general audience tools and are not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

07 Updates to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect app updates, legal requirements, or Google Play policy revisions. Updated versions will be published on this page with a revised "Last Updated" date.
