TidyPrivacy Policy
Last updated: November 12, 2026
- Your text messages, contacts and settings stay on your phone. We don't collect, upload, sell or share them.
- Tidy uses the internet only to download sticker packs.
- There are no ads, no analytics and no tracking libraries in the app.
- You don't need an account to use Tidy.
1. Who we are
Tidy SMS (“Tidy”, “the app”) is an Android messaging app published by Diakusoft (“we”, “us”). This policy explains what information the app accesses, why, and what happens to it. It applies to the Tidy app and to this website.
2. Information that stays on your device
To work as your SMS app, Tidy needs access to some information on your phone. All of it is processed locally on your device and is never sent to us or to anyone else.
| What | Why Tidy uses it |
|---|---|
| SMS and MMS messages | To show, send, receive, sort and search your messages, detect verification codes, filter spam, check links for phishing, run Ghost mode, scheduled sends and reminders. Requires Tidy to be your default SMS app. |
| Contacts | To show names and photos instead of numbers and to sort messages from people you know into the Contacts category. |
| Phone state and SIM information | To show which SIM a message arrived on and let you choose the SIM to send from on dual-SIM phones. |
| Location (only when you ask) | Only when you choose to attach your location to a message, to insert a map link. Tidy doesn't track your location in the background. |
| Notifications | To alert you about new messages, verification codes and reminders. |
| Fingerprint / biometrics | To unlock the app if you turn on App lock. Your fingerprint is handled by Android; Tidy never sees or stores it. |
| Display over other apps | To show the verification-code pop-up so you can copy a code without leaving the app you're in. |
| Phone calls | To call a contact when you tap the call button in a conversation. |
Your categories, quick replies, saved items, reminders, Ghost mode rules and other settings are stored in the app's private storage on your device.
3. Information sent over the internet
Sticker packs. When you browse or download sticker packs, the app connects to our sticker server to fetch the list of packs and the sticker images. Like any web server, it receives the technical data needed to deliver the files, such as your IP address and the time of the request. We use this only to deliver the stickers and keep the service running and secure; we don't use it to identify you or build a profile, and no message content, contacts or phone numbers are sent.
Purchases. If you buy Tidy Pro, the payment is handled entirely by Google Play. We never see your card or payment details. Google tells the app whether the purchase is valid so Pro can be unlocked. Google's own privacy policy applies to that process.
Text messages themselves. SMS and MMS are delivered by your mobile carrier, as with any messaging app. Your carrier's privacy policy applies to that delivery.
4. Backups
Tidy can create an encrypted backup of your messages. The backup file is created on your device and saved wherever you choose. We never receive a copy. If you move the file to a cloud storage service, that service's terms and privacy policy apply.
5. What we don't do
- We don't collect, read or store your messages on any server.
- We don't sell or share personal information with third parties.
- We don't show ads or include advertising, analytics or crash-reporting SDKs.
- We don't require an account, email address or phone number.
6. Data retention and deletion
Because your data stays on your device, you are in control of it. You can delete individual messages or conversations in the app at any time. Uninstalling Tidy removes the app's private data from your phone; your SMS messages remain in Android's message storage unless you delete them. Ghost mode erases messages from chosen senders on your phone automatically after the time you set.
7. Security
Tidy keeps its data in Android's protected app storage. You can add App lock with a PIN or fingerprint, and backups are encrypted. Connections to the sticker server use HTTPS.
8. Children
Tidy is a general-purpose messaging app and is not directed at children under 13. We don't knowingly collect personal information from children.
9. Your rights
Depending on where you live (for example under the GDPR in the EU/UK or the CCPA in California), you may have rights to access, correct or delete personal information. Since we don't hold your messages or contacts, most requests can be fulfilled directly in the app. For any question or request, contact us at the address below.
10. Changes to this policy
If we change this policy, we'll update the date at the top of this page. Significant changes will be announced in the app or on this website.
