NB: This app doesn't store any SMS data outside of your phone. It only send SMS data to the given post URL which is turned off by default. Only in case of email based forwarding which is also turned off by default, we send email from our own server. But even in the later case, we don't store any data / content at our server as well. So, your SMS content privacy is our main priority.
