We collect your phone number and SMS message content and metadata (e.g. message text, timestamps) to deliver our Service, including invoice reminders, payment follow-ups, job tracking updates, and account notifications.

We share this information with our messaging provider (Twilio) solely to deliver SMS messages to you.

  • Encryption of data in transit (HTTPS/TLS)
  • Encryption of data at rest in our database
  • Secure authentication and access controls
  • Regular security assessments

However, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your information, we cannot guarantee absolute security.
