Unbox The Message – How we handle data and usage information

Summary: Unbox The Message does not require signup or login. Boxes are generated from information you type and the links you choose to share. We do not use box data to build individual user profiles, and the content associated with boxes is public and depends entirely on the URLs you decide to include and share.

1. Introduction

This Privacy Policy explains how Unbox The Message handles data and usage information. Our goal is to be transparent, while keeping the focus on the entertainment and creative nature of the tool.

2. What we do not collect

By default, Unbox The Message:

• Does not require account creation;
• Does not request names, national IDs, home addresses or official documents;
• Does not request credit card numbers, banking data or financial information;
• Does not require login via social networks or third-party credentials.

3. Information entered in boxes

To create a box, you may type:

• A question or challenge;
• One or more valid answers (access codes);
• A content URL (image, video or external website);
• Optionally, an author name and a social profile link.

This information is used to generate a link that holds (or references) the data needed to recreate the box experience in the browser.

4. Storage and logs

Unbox The Message is designed to work primarily on the client side (in your browser). However, like any website, some basic logs may be stored by the hosting provider, such as:

• IP address and browser/user agent information;
• Date and time of access;
• Pages or resources accessed.

Such information is usually used in aggregate form for security, error monitoring and basic usage statistics.

5. Cookies and local storage

Unbox The Message may use:

• Browser local storage (localStorage) to remember simple preferences, such as selected language;
• Technical cookies to support basic site functionality, such as navigation sessions or display settings.

We do not use cookies to track your activity on other websites or for behavioral advertising, unless explicitly stated otherwise in the future.

6. Third-party content and external URLs

Boxes may display content hosted by third-party services, such as:

• Image platforms (e.g., public image banks);
• Video platforms (e.g., YouTube, Vimeo or similar);
• Media hosting services used by users themselves.

When you click a link or view external content, you are subject to that third party’s terms of service and privacy policy. We recommend reading the privacy terms of any service you choose to use.

7. Personal data sent through contact channels

If you contact the Unbox The Message maintainers (for example via email, form or social networks), the data you provide in that communication (name, email, message, attachments, etc.) will be used solely to respond to and manage your request.

We do not use this data to create commercial profiles or for unsolicited mass messaging.

8. Reporting content and box removal

Unbox The Message includes a “Report this box” feature to allow users to flag content that may be:

• Illegal, offensive, discriminatory or abusive;
• Misleading, dangerous or in violation of the Terms of Service;
• Infringing on copyright or privacy rights.

When reviewing a report, we may inspect the flagged box and, if necessary, store minimal data about the incident (e.g., report date, link to the reported box and the reason provided).

9. Security

We adopt reasonable security measures consistent with the nature of the project. However:

• No system is completely free of risks;
• We cannot guarantee absolute protection against attacks, interceptions or unauthorized access;
• The safest way to protect your sensitive information is to avoid entering it into the application.

10. User rights

Depending on the laws in your country or region, you may have privacy-related rights, such as:

• Requesting clarification about any data that may have been collected;
• Requesting correction or deletion of personal information you have sent directly through contact channels;
• Requesting additional clarification about this Policy.

If you wish to exercise any of these rights, please use the contact channel indicated in the service interface (where available).

11. Changes to this Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect technical, legal or operational changes. The most recent version will always be available on this page.

We recommend reviewing this Policy periodically, especially if you use Unbox The Message frequently.

12. Contact

If you have any questions, suggestions or requests regarding privacy and data use, please contact us through the channels provided in the app or in Unbox The Message’s official materials.
