2.2 Application of Principles

As part of the Services we provide, our commitment to the above principles means that we acknowledge that the phone directory, message content, and the MSISDNs of a User indicating to whom messages have been sent or received belong exclusively to that User and will not be disclosed by us to any third party without the written consent of the User, unless compelled to do so by a court of law.

We also acknowledge that any recipient of any message has the right to know the identity of the sender, and this will be disclosed upon request to the recipient when known to us.

2.3 Personal Data We May Collect and Process

Our users may be required to submit limited personal information when accessing the Services, including a username, email address, and password for the purpose of protecting user accounts against unauthorized access. Additionally, messages, files, or other data contained within the Services may include the personal information of third parties.

We may automatically record certain information about the use of our Services such as account activity (e.g., usage, logins, actions performed), data displayed or clicked on (e.g., GUI elements, links), and other log information (e.g., browser type, IP address, date and time of access).

We may use this information to provide authorized persons with usage reports and internally to offer the best possible service to our clients and users, such as improving software user interfaces and maintaining a consistent, reliable, and secure user experience.

We may also detect and record a User’s location and IP address in order to identify the user’s geographic region or time zone to route traffic to geographically based servers or to manage time-sensitive tasks such as sending notifications.

Like many reputable online companies, our Services, including our website, other online services, applications, emails, and advertisements, where applicable, may use “cookies” and other technologies such as invisible pixels and web beacons to collect information. A cookie is a small data file stored on your web browser on your computer’s hard drive. Cookies and other technologies allow us to count the number of users visiting certain web pages of our website, track personal preferences, and measure the effectiveness of our website and electronic advertisements across different devices and computing regions.

We use this information to understand and analyze trends, to administer our websites, and to learn more about user behavior on our websites. If a User prevents cookies from being stored on a computer, the functionality of our Services may be negatively affected.

We may perform functional, statistical, textual, semantic, and other types of analysis on non-personally identifiable data that are hosted or processed by us in relation to our Services. We do this to improve the performance of our Services, to understand how our Services are used, to identify usage patterns, market trends, to gain insights, and to formulate new products and service offerings. We may also process, aggregate, and anonymize personal data so that they do not reveal any confidential, personal, or sensitive information or any feature from which such data can be verified. We will never disclose confidential, personal, or sensitive data without the direct or indirect consent of the party to whom we owe a duty of confidentiality and/or the data subject concerned. We may process and transfer anonymized data at our reasonable discretion, including within the DevCodeSMS group of companies.

3. Processing APIs and Third Parties

When, for the purpose of providing you with the Services, any DevCodeSMS Service acts as an Application Programming Interface (“API”) to specify how different software systems should interact with one another, or when any DevCodeSMS Service interacts with other APIs, including third-party APIs, we may transmit and retrieve data, including personal information, between the different software systems and third parties interacting through these APIs.

When we use third-party service providers to help us provide the Services, including for retrieving or delivering information, records, notifications, or other messages to you or any user, or to host or provide any component of our Services, we require these third parties to maintain the confidentiality of any personal information we provide to them for these purposes. Some of these third parties may be located outside your country, and you consent to your personal data and that of any concerned persons you provide to us being transferred cross-border so that we may provide the Services. In this regard, we only engage reputable third-party service providers with security and privacy policies and procedures offering at least the same level of protection as ours. You warrant that you have all necessary authorizations to give us the above consent.

We may share data, including personal data, collected from users of our services with third-party service providers or consultants who need access to such data to perform their work on our behalf in order to help us provide our services. These third-party service providers or consultants are limited to accessing or using this data solely to provide services to us and must provide reasonable assurances that they will appropriately protect the data. We may also share non-personal or non-identifiable information, including website visitor information and account usage data, with third-party analytics providers.

4. Communications with You

We may communicate with users, resellers, and others via email and other messaging applications. You may opt out of promotional communications from us that are not strictly related to the provision of the Services to you.

5. Personal Information of Minors

We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from any minor. If it is discovered that we have unintentionally collected personally identifiable information from a minor other than for a legitimate purpose associated with the Services, we will immediately delete such information.

6. Revisions and Termination

Our privacy policy may be updated from time to time at our discretion, and changes will take effect upon publication on the site.

If DevCodeSMS merges with or is acquired by any other company, you acknowledge that your personal information may fall under the control of another entity.

If you terminate your relationship with DevCodeSMS, portions of your personal information may be retained in backups and archives for as long as reasonably necessary to help us comply with our legal compliance obligations.
