Privacy Policy

Effective Date: July 24, 2026

Your Privacy Matters

XenoCom is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when using our messaging application.

1. Information We Collect

Messages: Your SMS and MMS messages are processed for delivery and rendering. Character animation data is generated locally on your device.

Contacts: Your contact list is accessed only for roster integration and presence detection. Contact data remains on your device.

Device Information: We collect information about your Android device type, OS version, and app version for compatibility and crash reporting.

Usage Analytics: Non-identifying telemetry about feature usage helps us improve the app experience. No message content is included.

2. Local-First Architecture

XenoCom is designed with local-first processing as a core principle. Message rendering, character animation, and sound profile processing occur entirely on your device whenever possible.

SMS and MMS delivery requires interaction with your carrier's network infrastructure, which is outside our control. We do not store copies of your messages on our servers.

3. How We Use Your Information

  • • To deliver and display your SMS and MMS messages
  • • To render animated characters and apply sound profiles
  • • To maintain contact roster and presence information
  • • To diagnose technical issues and improve performance
  • • To comply with legal obligations and carrier requirements

4. Data Sharing & Third Parties

XenoCom does not sell or share your personal data with third parties for marketing purposes. Your information is only shared when required by law or with your explicit consent.

Carrier Integration: SMS and MMS messages must transit through your carrier's networks. We have no control over carrier data practices.

Crash Reporting: Anonymous crash reports may be shared with our analytics provider to improve stability.

5. Android Permissions

XenoCom requests specific Android permissions necessary for its core functionality:

  • READ_SMS / SEND_SMS: To access and send text messages
  • READ_CONTACTS: To display your contact roster
  • READ_PHONE_STATE: For call detection and presence
  • INTERNET: For carrier communication and analytics

6. Security Measures

We implement industry-standard security practices to protect your data:

  • • Encrypted communication channels with carrier networks
  • • Local storage encryption where supported by Android
  • • Regular security audits and updates
  • • Minimal data retention policies

However, no security system is impenetrable. We cannot guarantee absolute security of your data.

7. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on your location, you may have certain rights regarding your personal data:

  • • Right to access your personal data
  • • Right to correct inaccurate data
  • • Right to request deletion of your data
  • • Right to opt-out of analytics collection
  • • Right to data portability

To exercise these rights, contact us through the information provided below.

8. Data Retention

Messages are retained locally on your device according to your storage settings. We do not maintain copies of your messages on our servers. Analytics data is retained for no longer than 90 days. Device crash reports are retained for 30 days.

9. Children's Privacy

XenoCom is not designed for users under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we become aware that a child under 13 has provided us with information, we will delete such information promptly.
