What Phonekit stores

What we hold

• MessagesThe full text of everything your numbers receive. A shared inbox cannot work without storing what arrived.
• Detected codesParsed from the message text so they can be copied in one press. Detected when you read the original message.
• HistoryWho opened a message, who copied a code, and who changed access or keys.
• Your accountName, email address, and the public half of each passkey. No password. Biometric data never leaves your device.

Who else is involved

Standard numbers are sourced through a licensed carrier, who carries the message before it reaches us. Anyone sending SMS depends on a carrier this way.

We do not sell anything to advertisers, and message content is not used to train anything.

Deleting

Delete a message and it goes for everyone in the organization. Releasing a number preserves its messages under the organization’s retention period, measured from receipt. The carrier may reassign the number to somebody else.

Deleting here does not cancel anything. A verification code stays valid for as long as the service that sent it says. Only that service can void it.

Messages default to 30-day retention measured from receipt. Owners and admins can change retention in Settings.

Asking us

Ask for a copy of what we hold about you, or for your account and its history to be removed, and we will do it. Email us and a person will answer.
