Last updated: June 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how LeadSMS collects, uses, and protects personal data when you use our service.

1. Who We Are

LeadSMS is a UK-based SaaS platform that provides missed-call SMS automation and messaging services using third-party providers such as Twilio, Stripe, AWS, and Resend.

2. Information We Collect

We collect account information (name, email, business details), authentication data, billing information, and communication data including SMS messages, call metadata, and conversation history generated through our service.

3. How We Use Data

We use data to provide and operate the service, including message delivery via Twilio, account management, billing via Stripe, customer support, and fraud and abuse prevention.

4. Legal Basis for Processing (UK GDPR)

We process personal data based on: (1) performance of a contract, (2) legitimate interests such as fraud prevention and service security, and (3) legal obligations where applicable.

5. Third-Party Services

We use trusted providers including Stripe (payments), Twilio (SMS/telephony), AWS (hosting/logs), and Resend (email). These providers may process data outside the UK/EU under appropriate safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses.

6. Data Retention

Account data is retained while your account is active. Messaging and call logs are retained for fraud prevention, service delivery, and debugging purposes, typically for a limited period unless required longer for legal or security reasons.

7. Cookies

We use strictly necessary cookies for authentication and session management, stripe payments, and minimal google analytics. You can manage cookie preferences in your browser.

8. Your Rights

You have the right to access, correct, delete, or export your personal data. Please contact us for data access beyond user settings. You may also object to processing or lodge a complaint with the UK Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO).

9. Security

We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your data. However, no system is completely secure.
