1. Who we are
TextBridge is a text‑messaging utility that lets you forward or sync SMS messages between your Android device and other services you choose.
2. What data we collect & why
Category | Examples | Purpose |

SMS content (optional) | Sender number, body, timestamp, SIM slot | Forward the SMS to your configured destination. |
Device identifiers | Advertising ID, app instance ID | Crash analytics & anonymised usage stats. |
Log data | IP address, app version, device model | Security, debugging, preventing abuse. |
We do not access contacts, location, photos, microphone, or any other personal data.
3. How we use your data
- Deliver core features (receive, process, and forward SMS).
- Maintain the service (security, debugging, preventing abuse).
- Produce aggregate, anonymised statistics to improve the app.
- We never sell personal data or SMS content.
