We built SMSActivate.biz on a single principle: your privacy is non-negotiable. This document explains exactly what data we touch and, more importantly, what we never touch.
SMS Activate by SMSActivate.biz is designed from the ground up to collect the bare minimum. We operate a virtual number service — our job is to forward an SMS to your dashboard, not to build a profile of who you are.
When you register, we ask only for an email address and a password (stored as a one-way bcrypt hash). We do not ask for your name, phone number, date of birth, address, or any government-issued identification.
Balance top-ups are processed by third-party payment providers (cryptocurrency processors, card processors). We receive only a transaction confirmation and the amount credited — no card numbers, bank details, or wallet private keys are ever transmitted to or stored on our servers. Cryptocurrency payments are processed on-chain with no custodial exposure on our side.
We collect IP addresses and basic request metadata (timestamp, endpoint, HTTP status code) strictly for fraud prevention, abuse mitigation, and rate limiting. This data is stored in rotating logs with a maximum retention of 7 days, after which it is permanently deleted.
Incoming SMS messages are displayed in your dashboard for the duration of the activation window (up to 20 minutes). Once the session closes — whether you mark it complete, it times out, or you cancel — the message content is permanently deleted from our systems. We apply this policy universally: no exceptions, no backups of message content.
Your email address is used to log you in, send password-reset messages, and deliver occasional transactional notifications (e.g., low-balance alerts if you enable them). We do not send marketing emails unless you explicitly opt in, and you can unsubscribe at any time.
IP addresses and request logs are analyzed in real time to detect brute-force attacks, credential stuffing, and patterns consistent with platform abuse. These checks are automated; no human review of logs occurs during normal operations. Logs are deleted on a 7-day rolling basis.
We use aggregate, non-identifiable statistics — total activation counts per service, regional availability percentages, average delivery latency — to improve number sourcing and platform performance. No individual user data is used for this purpose.
We retain the minimum data required to comply with applicable financial regulations (i.e., payment records without full card details). We do not retain data beyond what is legally required, and we actively delete data at the earliest permissible point.
We use a single first-party session cookie to keep you logged in. This cookie is:
HttpOnly and Secure flagsWe do not use Google Analytics, Meta Pixel, Hotjar, or any other third-party tracking or analytics tool. There are no cross-site tracking cookies on this domain.
Card and e-wallet payments are processed by PCI-DSS compliant third-party processors. When you pay by card, you enter your card details directly on the processor's secure page — those details are never transmitted to or stored on SMSActivate.biz servers.
Our P2P marketplace connects to a distributed network of SIM card operators. These suppliers receive only the phone number assignment request and the incoming SMS — they do not receive your account information, IP address, or any personal data.
Our servers are hosted in data centers with ISO/IEC 27001 certification. Infrastructure providers operate under data processing agreements that prohibit use of our data for any purpose beyond infrastructure delivery.
We do not offer Facebook Login, Google Sign-In, or any other social authentication. No third-party SDKs that could track your activity are loaded on this site.
Regardless of your country of residence, we honour the following data rights for all users.

To exercise any of the above rights, contact us at privacy@smsactivate.biz. We will respond within 30 calendar days. Requests are free of charge.
All data in transit is encrypted with TLS 1.3. Passwords are hashed using bcrypt with a work factor tuned to current hardware. Our infrastructure runs on hardened Linux instances with automated vulnerability scanning, firewall rules limiting access to the minimum required ports, and no public SSH exposure. We perform regular third-party security audits and apply patches within 24 hours of critical CVE disclosures.
No system is impenetrable. If you discover a security vulnerability, please report it responsibly to security@smsactivate.biz before public disclosure. We acknowledge reports within 48 hours and commit to a 90-day remediation timeline for critical issues.
SMSActivate.biz is not directed to children under the age of 16. We do not knowingly collect personal data from minors. If you believe a minor has created an account, contact us and we will delete it immediately.
We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in our practices, legal requirements, or platform features. Significant changes will be announced via a notice in your dashboard at least 14 days before taking effect. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page always reflects the most recent revision. Continued use of the service after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
