Privacy Policy
Effective Date: June 7, 2026
Last Updated: June 7, 2026
This Privacy Policy describes how Pojava, LLC ("we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, and protects information when you use the lessms Android application ("App") and the less.ms website ("Website"), collectively referred to as the "Service."
The short version: Your SMS and MMS messages never leave your device and never touch our servers. The only information we collect is what is necessary to manage your account, license, and trial.
- Account information: When you register on the Website, we collect your email address and a password (stored as a salted hash). You may optionally provide a display name and avatar for the community forum.
- Purchase information: When you purchase the Focus Edition, payment is processed by Creem. We receive confirmation of your purchase and your email address. We do not store your payment card details.
- Forum content: Posts and topics you submit to the community forum.
- Support communications: Emails or messages you send to us.
- Android device identifier (ANDROID_ID): Used to bind your Focus Edition or trial license to your device. This value is stored on our server associated with your account for license verification and device transfer purposes.
- Phone number (last 10 digits): Collected from your device at the time of Focus Edition activation using the Android TelephonyManager API. Used solely to support device transfer when you upgrade phones. Stored in your account on our server. On some carriers or eSIM configurations this value may be unavailable.
- Trial status: Whether a trial has been started for your device identifier, and the trial start date. Stored on our server.
- App version / OS version: May be included in API requests for compatibility purposes.
The following data is processed entirely on your device and is never transmitted to our servers:
- The content of your SMS or MMS messages.
- Your contacts or contact list.
- Your filter rules or macro configurations.
- Images, GIFs, or media attachments in messages.
- Message metadata (sender numbers, timestamps, thread IDs).
- Your Junk folder contents.
- Your wallpaper settings or theme preferences.
1.4 Website Analytics
The less.ms website may collect standard web server logs including IP address, browser type, referring URL, and pages visited. We may use this information to understand usage patterns and improve the Website. We do not use third-party advertising trackers.
We use the information we collect to:
- Create and manage your account.
- Verify and activate your Focus Edition license.
- Issue and validate trial tokens.
- Process device transfer requests.
- Operate the community forum.
- Respond to support requests.
- Send transactional emails (e.g., account registration confirmation, password reset).
- Detect and prevent fraud or abuse of the licensing system.
- Detect and prevent abuse of the website.
- Improve detection of SPAM messages.
We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties for their marketing purposes.
We do not sell your personal information. We may share information in the following limited circumstances:
- Service providers: We may share information with trusted vendors who assist us in operating the Service (e.g., email delivery, server hosting). These providers are contractually obligated to protect your information and use it only for the services they provide to us.
- Legal requirements: We may disclose information if required by law, court order, or governmental authority, or if we believe disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, your safety, or the safety of others.
- Business transfers: If we are involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will notify you via email or a prominent notice on the Website before your information is transferred and becomes subject to a different privacy policy.
4. Data Retention
- Account data: Retained for as long as your account is active. You may request deletion of your account and associated data at any time (see Section 7).
- License and activation records: Retained for the life of your license to support device transfer and license verification. If you delete your account, activation records are anonymized (device identifiers are removed) within 30 days.
- Trial records: Retained indefinitely to enforce the one-trial-per-device policy. The device identifier is retained in a hashed form after account deletion.
- Forum posts: Retained until you delete them or request account deletion. Deleted forum posts are removed from public display within 24 hours.
- Web server logs: Retained for up to 90 days for security and diagnostic purposes.
5. Security
We use industry-standard measures to protect your information, including:
- Passwords stored as salted hashes (never in plaintext).
- Focus Edition licenses secured with ECDSA-P256 cryptographic signatures verified offline on your device.
- HTTPS encryption for all communication between the App and our API.
- Session tokens with expiration.
No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee the absolute security of your information.
6. Children's Privacy
The Service is not directed to children under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child under 13 has provided us with personal information, please contact us at support@pojava.com and we will delete it promptly.
