- We do not intentionally use unrelated SMS content for advertising, selling data, or unrelated purposes.
- Google Play treats SMS and financial information as sensitive data and imposes specific restrictions and disclosure requirements. Cashly will request such permissions only when the associated feature is supported and permitted for the applicable distribution channel.
