Privacy Policy & Zero-Log Commitment
We believe your privacy is fundamental. Learn how QuackSMS handles and discards data.
1. Zero Unnecessary Logging
QuackSMS does not require government ID, phone numbers, or residential addresses to register. You only provide an email address and an optional password. We do not inspect the contents of your SMS messages beyond extracting the numerical OTP verification code.
2. Automated Ephemeral Message Deletion
Incoming SMS text contents are stored in encrypted transient memory solely during your active 20-minute session. Once an activation session terminates or expires, SMS payloads are automatically permanently purged from our servers.
3. Payment Information Security
We never store your credit card numbers or crypto private keys on our servers. All financial transactions are processed by certified PCI-DSS Level 1 compliant gateway partners or decentralized blockchain smart contracts.
