Privacy Policy
How Provynx SMS collects, uses, stores, and protects personal data when you use our virtual SMS and OTP verification services.
Introduction
Provynx SMS ("Provynx SMS," "we," "us," or "our") operates a platform that provides virtual SMS numbers and real-time OTP verification for account sign-ups. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have when you visit provynx.com, create an account, purchase virtual numbers, or receive OTP codes through our dashboard.
By using Provynx SMS, you agree to the collection and use of information as described in this policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the service.
Information we collect
We collect information that is necessary to operate virtual SMS orders, maintain your wallet, secure your account, and provide customer support.
- Account information such as your name, email address, phone number, password (stored in hashed form), and optional profile details.
- Verification and session data including email verification status, login sessions, IP address, browser user agent, and activity logs related to sign-in, password resets, and account changes.
- Order and service data including selected services, virtual number assignments, OTP messages received on your orders, order status, timestamps, and wallet debits or credits tied to each verification attempt.
- Payment and billing information such as wallet top-up amounts, transaction history, payment status, and limited payment metadata processed by our payment providers. We do not store full payment card numbers on our servers.
- Support communications when you contact us by email or through in-product support channels.
- Notification preferences and device tokens if you enable email or push notifications.
How we use your information
We use the information we collect for legitimate business purposes connected to providing secure SMS verification services.
- Creating and managing your Provynx SMS account and wallet balance.
- Routing virtual SMS orders, displaying incoming OTP codes, and tracking order status in real time.
- Processing payments, issuing receipts, preventing fraud, and resolving billing disputes.
- Sending service emails such as account verification, password reset links, order updates, and security alerts.
- Monitoring platform health, detecting abuse, enforcing our Terms of Service, and protecting users and upstream providers.
- Improving catalog availability, pricing accuracy, and product performance based on aggregated usage patterns.
- Responding to support requests and communicating important service changes.
SMS content and virtual numbers
When you place an order, Provynx SMS assigns a temporary virtual phone number and displays SMS messages, including OTP codes, that arrive for that order while it remains active. This message content is tied to your account and order history so you can complete verification workflows.
Virtual numbers are disposable and intended for short-lived verification use. Message content may be retained for a limited period for troubleshooting, billing reconciliation, fraud prevention, and legal compliance before being deleted or anonymized according to our retention practices.
You are responsible for how you use OTP codes and virtual numbers. Do not use Provynx SMS to intercept messages for accounts you do not own or control without authorization.
How we share information
We do not sell your personal information. We share data only with trusted parties that help us operate the service or when required by law.
- SMS and telecom partners that supply virtual numbers and deliver inbound OTP messages to your order inbox.
- Payment processors such as Kora and Dodo Payments to complete wallet top-ups and verify transactions.
- Infrastructure, hosting, email, analytics, and security vendors that process data on our behalf under contractual confidentiality obligations.
- Professional advisers, auditors, or law enforcement when disclosure is reasonably necessary to comply with legal obligations, enforce our terms, or protect the rights and safety of Provynx SMS, our users, or others.
- Successors in connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, or sale of assets, subject to continued protection of your information.
Cookies and similar technologies
Provynx SMS uses cookies and similar technologies to keep you signed in, remember preferences, protect against unauthorized access, and understand how the platform is used. Session cookies are essential for authentication and expire when you log out or after a defined session lifetime.
You can control non-essential cookies through your browser settings. Disabling essential cookies may prevent you from signing in or completing orders.
Data retention
We retain personal information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the service, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements.
Order records, wallet transactions, and security logs may be kept for a longer period where required for accounting, fraud prevention, or regulatory reasons. OTP message content associated with expired orders is deleted or anonymized on a rolling basis unless retention is required for an open support case or legal request.
When you delete your account, we will delete or anonymize personal information within a reasonable timeframe, except where retention is required by law or legitimate business needs such as completed payment records.
Security
We implement administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to protect your information, including encrypted transport (HTTPS), hashed credentials, access controls, and activity monitoring.
No online service can guarantee absolute security. You are responsible for safeguarding your account credentials and promptly notifying us at hello@provynx.com if you suspect unauthorized access.
Your choices and rights
Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, restrict, or export personal information we hold about you, or to object to certain processing.
You can update profile details from your account settings, manage notification preferences in the product, and request account deletion or data access by contacting hello@provynx.com. We may need to verify your identity before fulfilling a request.
If you are located in the European Economic Area, United Kingdom, or other regions with data protection laws, you may also lodge a complaint with your local supervisory authority.
International transfers
Provynx SMS may process and store information in countries other than where you live. When we transfer personal data internationally, we use appropriate safeguards such as standard contractual clauses or equivalent mechanisms required by applicable law.
Children's privacy
Provynx SMS is not directed to children under 18, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If you believe a minor has provided us with personal data, contact hello@provynx.com and we will take steps to delete it.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we make material changes, we will post the updated policy on this page and revise the "Last updated" date. Continued use of Provynx SMS after changes become effective constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
