Scamify Privacy Policy

Last Updated: July 31, 2026

Introduction

Scamify is an AI-powered security application designed to help users identify and understand potentially fraudulent, spam, and phishing SMS messages. The goal of Scamify is to help users recognize suspicious messages and stay safer from digital scams.

This Privacy Policy explains how Scamify accesses, processes, and protects information while providing its scam detection features. Scamify is designed with user privacy in mind and only uses information necessary to provide its security functionality.

Scamify does not sell user information, use SMS content for advertising purposes, or share private message content with third parties.

Information Scamify Accesses

To provide scam detection and protection features, Scamify may access SMS messages on the user's device.

Scamify uses SMS information only for analyzing messages for potential scams, spam, phishing attempts, and other suspicious content.

SMS access is required because scam messages are delivered through text messages, and analyzing their content is necessary for Scamify's core security functionality.

Scamify does not access SMS messages for advertising, marketing, or any purpose unrelated to scam detection.

How Scamify Processes SMS Data

Scamify processes SMS messages to identify patterns commonly associated with scams, spam, and phishing attempts.

The scam detection model used by Scamify runs locally on the user's device. SMS content is analyzed on the device to generate scam detection results and security insights.

Scamify does not upload SMS message content to external servers for analysis and does not transmit private message content to third-party services.

The classification results provided by Scamify are intended to assist users. While Scamify uses machine learning technology, no automated system can guarantee that every message will be classified perfectly.

Data Storage

Scamify may store message information locally on the user's device to provide features such as message organization, scam detection history, and viewing previously analyzed messages.

Stored information remains on the user's device and is not sold, shared, or used for advertising purposes.

Users can remove locally stored Scamify data at any time by clearing application data through device settings or uninstalling the application.

Permissions Used

Scamify requests permissions required to provide its scam detection, messaging, and security features.

READ_SMS

RECEIVE_SMS

Used to detect newly received SMS messages and provide scam detection features.

SEND_SMS

Used only for the user-initiated reply feature, allowing users to respond to SMS conversations from within Scamify. Scamify does not send promotional messages, automated messages, or messages without user action.

Data Sharing and Third-Party Services

Scamify does not sell, rent, or share private SMS content with advertisers, data brokers, or third parties.

Future features that require external services will be clearly explained to users and will follow appropriate privacy and security practices.

Security of User Data

Scamify is designed to minimize unnecessary data collection and protect user information.

No method of electronic storage or transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Users should maintain device security through appropriate protections such as screen locks and software updates.

Children's Privacy

Scamify does not knowingly collect personal information from children.

User Choices and Data Deletion

Users can remove locally stored Scamify data through device settings or by uninstalling the application.
