Security &Privacy
Your financial privacy is our top priority. Learn how FinSMS protects your data with bank-grade security and privacy-first design principles.
How We Protect Your Data
FinSMS is built from the ground up with security and privacy as core principles, not afterthoughts.
End-to-End Encryption
All your financial data is encrypted using industry-standard AES-256 encryption both in transit and at rest.
Local Data Storage
Your financial information is stored locally on your device. We never upload your transaction data to external servers.
SMS-Only Access
FinSMS only reads SMS notifications from banks. We never access your banking apps, passwords, or account credentials.
Privacy by Design
Built with privacy-first principles. No personal identifiers, tracking, or unnecessary data collection.
Minimal Permissions
We only request the minimum permissions necessary - SMS reading and basic storage. No camera, contacts, or location access.
Open Source Philosophy
We believe in transparency. Our core algorithms and security practices are openly documented and reviewed.
