1. Introduction
Keepnet ("the App") is an SMS phishing and smishing reporting application for iOS. It enables users to report suspicious SMS messages and URLs for security analysis. Your privacy is important to us. This Privacy Policy explains what information the App collects, how it is used, and the choices you have.
By using the App, you agree to the collection and use of information as described in this policy.
2. Information We Collect
The App may collect the following information only when you choose to submit a report:
- The text content of an SMS message you manually submit for analysis.
- URLs contained within a submitted message.
- The sender identifier (phone number or short code) of a reported message.
- Basic device information such as device model and operating system version, used solely for diagnostics and service improvement.
The App does not automatically read, scan, or access your SMS inbox. Message content is only processed when you voluntarily and manually submit a report.
3. How We Use Your Information
Information you submit is used exclusively for the following purposes:
- Analyzing reported messages and URLs to determine whether they are phishing or smishing attempts.
- Improving the accuracy and effectiveness of phishing detection.
- Generating aggregated, non-identifiable statistics about phishing trends.
4. Third-Party Services
To perform security analysis, the App may share reported URLs or message content with the following third-party services:
- VirusTotal – for malware and malicious URL detection.
- Google Safe Browsing – for identifying known phishing and deceptive websites.
- PhishTank – for cross-referencing reported URLs against a community-driven phishing database.
These services receive only the data necessary to perform their analysis. We encourage you to review their respective privacy policies for more information on how they handle data.
5. Data Sharing and Sales
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to third parties for marketing or advertising purposes. Data is shared only with the third-party analysis services described above and only to the extent necessary to provide the App's core functionality.
6. Data Security
We take reasonable measures to protect the information you submit. All data transmitted between the App and our servers is encrypted using HTTPS (TLS). While no method of electronic transmission or storage is completely secure, we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your data.
7. Data Retention
Reported message data is retained only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this policy. Aggregated, non-identifiable data may be retained indefinitely for statistical and research purposes.
8. Children's Privacy
The App is not intended for use by children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us so we can take appropriate action.
9. Your Rights
Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to:
- Request access to the personal data we hold about you.
