1) Access your contacts - this will allow ScamShield to only filter messages that are sent from unknown senders who are not in your contacts.
2) Send you notifications - this will be used to alert users when an incoming scam message is detected.
3) Send and view messages - this will allow ScamShield to view SMSes from unknown senders and evaluate if the message is a scam. ScamShield will not view SMSes from your saved contacts.
