Use at your own risk

GetSMS.uk is provided on an “as-is” basis. By using our website, you agree to take personal responsibility for your actions. We disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.

1. What we collect and how we use it

You can use the entire service without creating an account or providing any personal information. Where limited information is collected (for example when you email us), we use it to:

• Provide support and respond to inquiries, including troubleshooting.
• Analyze and improve our services and business operations.
• Defend our legal rights and comply with legal obligations.

2. Disclosure of information

We may share information only in these circumstances:

• With service providers performing services on our behalf.
• During business transfers such as mergers, sales, or acquisitions.
• When legally required (e.g., law enforcement requests or court orders).
• To protect our rights, prevent fraud, or ensure the safety of users.

3. Cookies & advertising

We use Google AdSense to keep the service free. Google and its partners may use advertising cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this or other websites. Third-party vendors' use of advertising cookies enables them and their partners to serve ads based on your visits to this site and/or other sites on the Internet. You can opt out of personalized advertising at Google Ads Settings (adssettings.google.com), and manage all cookies through your browser settings — disabling cookies may affect site functionality.

4. Log files & analytics

We automatically collect standard technical information such as IP address, browser type, and device information for security and analytics. We use privacy-friendly analytics to understand aggregate traffic patterns (page views, countries, referrers); this data is never tied to an individual identity.

5. Children's privacy

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. Children should not use GetSMS.uk without adult supervision.

6. Do-Not-Track signals

Our website does not respond to “Do Not Track” browser signals.

7. Security

We implement technical and administrative measures to protect information, but no system is completely secure.

8. Advertising & data sharing

We do not sell or rent personal information for marketing purposes. Third-party ad networks (like Google AdSense) may use anonymized data in accordance with their own policies.

9. GDPR & your data rights

If you are an EU resident, you have the right to:

• Access your personal data.
• Request correction or deletion.
• Object to processing or request limitation.
• Data portability and withdrawal of consent.

10. Third-party websites

Our service may link to third-party websites. We are not responsible for their privacy practices, and we encourage you to review their policies.
