Privacy policy
What do we collect and why?
Text message scam protection reviews messages that are received from an unknown sender (i.e. the sender’s number is not saved in your contacts) or submitted through this online webform. This feature and form collects the following information from text messages:
The text message content (for example any links to harmful websites)
Text message sender
Retention of data related to the text message scam protection feature and the webform
The scam protection feature and the webform retains personal data only for the purpose of the making the verdict of whether the message is scam. The personal data linked to the text message is anonymized and information submitted through the webform will be deleted after 30 days.
The text message scam protection feature uses artificial intelligence (AI). We use AWS Translate to translate text messages that are not in English following a no-trace policy, which means that AWS will not retain any of your personal data. All other AI is fully in our control and its sole purpose is to recognize scam text messages. We retain only non-personal information, for example the verdict (whether the text was scam or not) and the justification, to train the AI.
