Privacy Policy

Last updated: 27 October 2026

This policy explains what GoterSMS collects when you use the website, panel, API and Android app, why, and what control you have over it.

We don't read or store your SMS. The GoterSMS app has no permission to read the SMS inbox on your phone, so it can't see the messages you receive. The text of messages you send is not stored: the server holds it only until your phone picks it up, then deletes it.

1. What we collect

Your account

Your name (if you give one) and email address.
Your password, stored only as a secure hash. We can't see your actual password.
Your API keys, stored only as a hash. We keep the first few characters so you can tell your keys apart.
Your account settings, such as your daily limit and status.

Your connected phone

The phone's make and model (for example "Samsung SM-M356B") and the GoterSMS app version.
The SIM slots, operator names and SIM labels, so you can choose which SIM sends.
Network status: operator, network type (2G/3G/4G/5G), signal level, roaming, service and airplane mode, and when the phone was last online.

The app does not collect your contacts, call logs, location, photos or received SMS.

Messages you send

Kept: the recipient's phone number, which SIM was used, the time, and the status (queued, sent, delivered or failed, with the reason for a failure). This is your message history and is used for your daily limit.
Not kept: the message text. It is used only to hand the message to your phone. It is deleted as soon as your phone receives it. If your phone is offline, the text waits only until the phone takes it or the message expires, and is then deleted.

Technical data

Like most websites, our hosting provider's server records basic request logs (such as IP address, time and page requested) for security and fixing problems.

2. Why we use it

To run your account and log you in.
To send your messages through your phone and show you their status.
To show your phone's connection and network status in the panel.
To apply daily limits and stop misuse.
To answer you when you contact us.

We don't sell your data, rent it out, or use it for advertising.

3. Who can see it

You, in your panel.
The GoterSMS admin, to run the service, help with problems and stop misuse. Since message text isn't stored, the admin can't read your messages either.
Our hosting provider, which runs the server that stores the data.
Your mobile operator carries your SMS from your phone to the recipient, under the operator's own privacy policy.
Authorities, only if the law requires us to share data.

4. Cookies and browser storage

We use one cookie to keep you logged in. It is needed for the panel to work and is not used for tracking. The panel also remembers in your browser if you closed an announcement. The website loads its fonts from Google Fonts, so Google can see your IP address when the page loads.

5. How long we keep it

Account, phone and message history: while your account exists.
Message text: only until your phone receives the message (see above).
When you disconnect a phone, it is removed from your account.
When your account is deleted, its data is removed from the GoterSMS database.

6. Security

Connections to gotersms.com are encrypted (HTTPS). Passwords and API keys are stored as hashes. Each phone uses its own secret token, which stops working when you disconnect it. No system is perfectly secure, so keep your password and API keys private.

7. Your choices

See your message history and connected phone in the panel at any time.
Disconnect your phone in the app or the panel.
Delete API keys you no longer use.
Ask us to correct your details or delete your account by writing to support@gotersms.com.

8. Children

GoterSMS is not meant for anyone under 18, and we don't knowingly collect their data.

9. Changes

If this policy changes, we'll update the date at the top of this page and may show a notice in the panel.
