1. Information We Collect

Private SMS Filter is designed to classify suspicious SMS patterns, promotional messages, transaction notices, and personal-message hints locally on your iPhone or iPad. Gobling Company does not collect message contents, sender information, contacts, rule results, analytics data, advertising identifiers, account information, or tracking data from this app.

The app may store local app preferences on your device. The bundled filtering rules are included with the app and run locally through Apple's message filtering extension after the user enables it in iOS Settings.

The app does not require a Gobling Company account and does not operate a backend server for SMS content, extension settings, analytics, advertising, or sync.

2. How Information Is Used

Local preferences and bundled rules are used only on your device to show the app interface and support local SMS filtering behavior.

Private SMS Filter uses Apple's system frameworks for local app operation, message filtering extension support, storage, and purchases. Apple may process purchase-related information under Apple's own policies.

Gobling Company does not use app or message data to profile users, target advertising, or track users across apps and websites.

3. Local Storage

Any app preferences are stored locally in the app or extension container unless you delete them or delete the app.

If you delete the app from your device, iOS removes the app's local container and the locally stored data associated with the app.

Private SMS Filter does not upload message contents, sender information, rule matches, or extension settings to a Gobling Company server.

4. Message Filtering Extension

The message filtering extension runs locally through Apple's IdentityLookup framework after the user enables the filter in iOS Settings.

Filtering applies to messages that iOS makes available to SMS filtering extensions. Private SMS Filter does not provide messaging, chat, or unrestricted communication features.

Gobling Company does not receive the messages processed by the extension.

5. Third-Party Services

Private SMS Filter uses Apple's system frameworks for message filtering extension operation, local storage, and purchases.

The app does not include advertising SDKs, analytics SDKs, tracking SDKs, or cross-app tracking behavior.

The app does not use a Gobling Company backend server.

6. App Tracking Transparency

Private SMS Filter does not track users across apps or websites owned by other companies.

Because the app does not perform tracking, it does not request App Tracking Transparency permission.

7. Children's Privacy

Private SMS Filter is a utility app and is not directed to children.

Gobling Company does not knowingly collect personal information from children through Private SMS Filter.

9. Changes To This Policy

This privacy policy may be updated if the app's features, data practices, or legal requirements change.

If a future version adds accounts, analytics, cloud sync, server processing, support forms, crash reporting, or other data collection, this policy and the App Store privacy answers will be updated before release.
