Hiding your number puts no one above the law. An anonymous SMS remains subject to French law and the GDPR — and it's precisely this framework that makes the service defensible.
Anonymous to the recipient, not to the law
Anonymity concerns what the recipient sees: your number is never passed to them. To prevent abuse, however, every send is logged (IP address included) and can be handed to the authorities on judicial request. Harassment and threats remain offences, perfectly traceable.
Data minimisation
The GDPR requires collecting only the strict minimum. That's exactly the logic of the service: no account, no advertising profile, only the elements useful for delivering the message. Less data kept means less risk for everyone.
Prospecting: consent, always
Sending a commercial message is another matter. SMS prospecting requires the recipient's prior consent and a simple, free means of unsubscribing. A personal anonymous send is not a campaign: don't divert one to do the other. An unwanted SMS, for its part, can be reported.
Personal use vs professional platform
This service is aimed at personal, occasional sending, sender hidden. For high-volume, traceable communication, a professional SMS platform and its compliance framework are a must. Each use has its tool — and its obligations.
