Privacy Policy
Last updated: October 2026 • Official Operator: Simless (https://simlessnumber.com)
1. Overview and Core Philosophy
At Simless (https://simlessnumber.com), your privacy is our primary priority. We provide temporary virtual phone numbers and private verification lines specifically engineered to protect individuals from SIM swaps, unconsented telemarketing, data broker harvesting, and identity tracking.
We adhere to strict data minimization principles: we do not collect what we do not need, and we never monetize, sell, or rent user records to third-party advertising brokers.
2. Public Numbers vs. Private Numbers
It is vital to understand the technical and privacy difference between our public and private services:
- Public Free Temporary Numbers: These numbers are shared inboxes accessible to anyone browsing the website. No account, email, or identity verification is ever requested to view incoming messages. Anyone viewing the number can see received SMS text. Do NOT use public numbers for sensitive personal communications, banking PINs, or private passwords.
- Private Dedicated Lines: Private numbers rented via customer accounts provide an isolated, encrypted inbox visible solely to the authenticated account holder. Messages received on private lines are never shared publicly.
3. Information We Collect and Process
Depending on how you interact with our platform, we process the following categories of data:
- Visitors of Free Numbers: Zero personal data. We do not require registration, phone numbers, or credit cards.
- Registered Account Holders: Email address and encrypted authentication credentials necessary to maintain account security and manage active rental subscriptions.
- Billing & Payment Data: Financial transactions are processed directly via PCI-DSS compliant third-party gateways. Simless does not store raw credit card numbers or banking secrets on our application servers.
- Technical Logs: Minimal server logs (IP address, user-agent, timestamp) maintained temporarily for DDoS prevention, rate limiting, and service uptime monitoring.
4. SMS Message Retention and Automatic Deletion
Incoming text messages on public numbers are treated as temporary ephemeral data. To maintain consumer privacy:
- Public SMS feeds are automatically rotated and purged after short retention intervals.
- We do not construct historical archives of received public verification codes.
- Any received sensitive personal identifiers or unauthorized spam blasts are scrubbed automatically.
5. Cookies and Local Storage
We utilize essential functional cookies and browser local storage strictly to preserve user session states, remember preferred country selections, and power the real-time incoming SMS stream. We do not deploy third-party cross-site advertising tracking cookies.
6. Security Safeguards
All communications between your device and Simless servers are encrypted in transit via Transport Layer Security (TLS 1.3 / HTTPS). Data stored in our databases is protected with encrypted at-rest volume security and row-level access controls.
7. Your Data Rights & Contact Information
Under global data protection standards (including GDPR and CCPA), you have the right to request access to your account data, demand correction, or request permanent deletion of your account.
