MerkurSMS respects your privacy. This policy explains what data the app uses, why, and how it is handled.
MerkurSMS uses the READ_CALL_LOG and READ_PHONE_STATE permissions solely to detect a missed call and the caller's phone number. This data is required for the app's core function - so MerkurSMS knows who to send an automatic SMS to. Call log data is processed locally on the device, in real time, and is never uploaded to our servers or shared with any third party.
MerkurSMS uses the SEND_SMS permission to send the automatic reply to a missed call and follow-up messages according to the rules you set. It uses the RECEIVE_SMS permission to detect the client's incoming reply in real time so it can continue the conversation. It uses the READ_SMS permission to read the SMS messages stored on your device so it can show the conversation history (the chat view) inside the app. SMS content is used only for these functions, is processed locally on the device, and is never sold, shared, or uploaded to our servers. Messages are sent over your mobile carrier's network and charged per their price list.
MerkurSMS uses the READ_CONTACTS permission only for the optional "reply only to numbers not in my contacts" setting: it checks whether a caller's number is already saved in your contacts. Your contacts are checked locally on the device, are never read in bulk, and are never uploaded to our servers, sold, or shared with any third party.
For reliable operation the app also declares standard technical permissions used by system components: INTERNET and ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE are used only by Google Play Billing to process day-pack purchases through Google Play; FOREGROUND_SERVICE and WAKE_LOCK let the app reliably send the automatic SMS in the background; RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED lets automation resume after the phone restarts; and BILLING (com.android.vending.BILLING) is required for in-app purchases through Google Play. None of these permissions are used to collect, upload, or share your call, SMS or contact data.
Your settings, rules, calendar and conversation history are stored locally on your phone. MerkurSMS does not upload your call log, contacts or SMS messages to its servers.
We do not sell or share your call, contact and message data with third parties. The only exception is the SMS that, at your request (per your rules), the app sends to the recipient through your mobile carrier.
Data stays on the device while you use the app. You can turn off automation at any time, and all local data is deleted when you uninstall the app.
Day-pack purchases are processed through Google Play; payment data is handled by Google, not MerkurSMS. Locally we store only the number of purchased days and the first-use date (to compute access). With Android Auto Backup enabled, this data is backed up to your private Google Drive so access can be restored after reinstalling or changing phones. We do not send purchase data to our servers.
Permissions are requested in the app before first use and can be revoked at any time in your phone settings (automation then stops working).

MerkurSMS poštuje tvoju privatnost. Ova politika objašnjava koje podatke aplikacija koristi, zašto i kako se sa njima postupa.
MerkurSMS koristi dozvole READ_CALL_LOG i READ_PHONE_STATE isključivo da bi prepoznao propušten poziv i broj telefona pozivaoca. Ovi podaci su neophodni za osnovnu funkciju aplikacije - da bi MerkurSMS znao kome treba da pošalje automatski SMS. Evidencija poziva se obrađuje lokalno na uređaju, u realnom vremenu, i ne otprema se na naše servere niti se deli sa bilo kojom trećom stranom.
Dozvolu SEND_SMS MerkurSMS koristi da pošalje automatski odgovor na propušten poziv i follow-up poruke prema pravilima koja ti postaviš. Dozvolu RECEIVE_SMS koristi da u realnom vremenu prepozna dolazni odgovor klijenta kako bi nastavio prepisku. Dozvolu READ_SMS koristi da pročita SMS poruke sačuvane na tvom uređaju kako bi prikazao istoriju razgovora (prikaz prepiske) unutar aplikacije. Sadržaj SMS poruka koristi se samo za ove funkcije, obrađuje se lokalno na uređaju i ne prodaje se, ne deli i ne otprema na naše servere. Poruke se šalju preko mreže tvog mobilnog operatera i naplaćuju po njegovom cenovniku.
Dozvolu READ_CONTACTS MerkurSMS koristi samo za opciono podešavanje „šalji samo brojevima van kontakata": proverava da li je broj pozivaoca već sačuvan u tvojim kontaktima. Tvoji kontakti se proveravaju lokalno na uređaju, nikada se ne čitaju masovno i nikada se ne otpremaju na naše servere, ne prodaju i ne dele sa trećim licima.
Radi pouzdanog rada aplikacija dodatno navodi standardne tehničke dozvole koje koriste sistemske komponente: INTERNET i ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE koristi isključivo Google Play naplata za obradu kupovine paketa dana preko Google Play-a; FOREGROUND_SERVICE i WAKE_LOCK omogućavaju pouzdano slanje automatskog SMS-a u pozadini; RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED omogućava da se automatika nastavi posle restarta telefona; a BILLING (com.android.vending.BILLING) je neophodan za kupovinu unutar aplikacije preko Google Play-a. Nijedna od ovih dozvola se ne koristi za prikupljanje, otpremanje niti deljenje tvojih podataka o pozivima, SMS-u ili kontaktima.
Tvoja podešavanja, pravila, kalendar i evidencija razgovora čuvaju se lokalno na tvom telefonu. MerkurSMS ne postavlja tvoju evidenciju poziva, kontakte niti SMS poruke na svoje servere.
Ne prodajemo i ne delimo tvoje podatke o pozivima, kontaktima i porukama sa trećim stranama. Jedini izuzetak je SMS koji, na tvoj zahtev (po tvojim pravilima), aplikacija šalje primaocu preko tvog mobilnog operatera.
Podaci ostaju na uređaju dok koristiš aplikaciju. Možeš u svakom trenutku isključiti automatiku, a svi lokalni podaci se brišu deinstalacijom aplikacije.
Kupovina paketa dana obrađuje se preko Google Play; podatke o plaćanju obrađuje Google, ne MerkurSMS. Lokalno se čuvaju samo broj kupljenih dana i datum prve upotrebe (radi računanja pristupa). Uz uključen Android Auto Backup, ti podaci se bekapuju na tvoj privatni Google Drive kako bi se pristup vratio posle reinstalacije ili promene telefona. Ne šaljemo podatke o kupovini na naše servere.
Dozvole se traže u aplikaciji pre prve upotrebe i možeš ih u svakom trenutku povući u podešavanjima telefona (tada automatika prestaje da radi).
